[QUOTE=The Sonoran Lizard King] It’s only a whisper of a shred of mere anecdotal evidence your way, but I remember a doper claiming to be quite well known, to bolster some point they were making on the nature of celebrity. I don’t unfortunately remember the Doper’s name, and he was kinda scoffed away with ‘Yeah, rights’ and 'Who, then?'s Hardly proof that Drew Carey walks among us, but… Hi Drew!

[QUOTE=Sampiro] The only celebrity that I think there’s proof of having at some point logged onto the Dope was Weird Al Yankovic- no idea if he was ever a member, but he actually did refer to it at some point. No cite, but you can search up the thread where the details are given. And it’s rumored that Angelina Jolie expressed interest in adopting one of the younger Dopers, but I can’t remember offhand if it was Clockwork and Candy or Diosa. In either case, there was an astrological problem that prevented it. [/QUOTE] I can has adoption pleez? ---

[QUOTE=1920s Style “Death Ray”] I don’t think that question was particularly new when it turned up here. Other boards had been yakking about it. Also, the “correct answer” hardly requires any special skills or knowledge to get. If Drew has any idea at all about aeroplanes he could have came to that answer with a few moments thought. [/QUOTE] Uh oh…here we go again… ---

I think Penn Gillette is one of the skeptoid wanks on this board, ya know, dem Randiites. Randii probably plays, too. I also think there are definitely some writers from John Stewart’s Daily show that are amongst us. Drew was a Marine, so you could winnow it down to a funny, libertarian, (ex) Marine on this board if such a Doper exists. ---

Darn you **Friar Ted** , I was going to mention Dr Phil Plait. I guess I can add that he has a wikipedia article: > **[Phil Plait](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Plait)** > > Philip Cary Plait (born September 30, 1964), also known as The Bad Astronomer, is an American astronomer, skeptic, and popular science blogger. Plait has worked as part of the Hubble Space Telescope team, images and spectra of astronomical objects, as well as engaging in public outreach advocacy for NASA missions. He has written three books, Bad Astronomy, Death from the Skies, and Under Alien Skies. He has also appeared in several science documentaries, including How the Universe Works on the Also, he’s listed on the IMDB as a science adviser for a few films. ---

And Ms Eve Golden is listed in wikipedia: > **[Eve Golden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Golden)** > > Eve Golden is a biographer whose work focuses on American silent film, theater and early twentieth century actresses. She was born and raised near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. > Eve Golden is the author of seven theater and film biographies. > > This article about a United States biographer is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. I never realized the SDMB was awash in celebrity greatness. Who might be the next celebrity to pop up? Clint Howard? God I hope not :eek: ---
