  I just had a random thought:

  If the Wicked Witch (of the East or West) were killed by water, it stands to reason that they *never* bathed.

  Think about that.

  People who create the security questions for pretty much anything should consider that people change. Questions that aren't based on hard facts that can be remembered *won't* be remembered. For instance, the answer to "What is your favorite California city?" may not be the same answer I have now because it's been 15 years since I last went to California. Whlie the answer to 'What is your favorite sports team" or "What is your favorite movie" mostly likely won't change, it's probably not a good idea to ask for someone's "favorite" anything.

  Got to meet the awesome Edward James Olmos at the Super Mega Festival in Marlboro. When we wandered by his table, he called us over to talk and shake our hands. Told us that we weren't required to buy any pictures or get an autograph. He was a joy to talk to. He told us some interesting stories from his career (including his first day on Miami Vice) and how proud he was to be on Battlestar Galactica and that he turned down Star Wars and Star Trek. Wow.

  Also got to meet Mark Goddard (Major West from Lost in Space), Nickolas Brendon (Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as well as John Wesley Shipp and Amanda Pays from the *first* Flash tv show. The event also had a copy of the Chariot, the ground vehicle from Lost in Space. Got Lee Majors' and Lindsay Wagner's autographs last time so we skipped them this time. A wonderful time was had by all. Almost got away with not buying anything expensive. Almost.
