I’m bored, but listening to some interesting new music, so it can’t be all bad.

In another unrelated thread one of our members [Birdmonster](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php) told me that his username was also shared by the band he was in. Curious, I took a poke at his myspace page and it sounds like some pretty good stuff (I like it at least). I went to two concerts this long weekend and if ever made it to Boston I would try to catch him as well.

Tell me something interesting about another SDMB member that I didn’t know.

I should be clear, I really mean any other member. Refuse the urge to ask for permission. Feel free to spill the beans on anyone.  
Oh yeah, and don’t mention anything embarrassing about me.

Ha- no. That just surprised me, for some reason. I was like, “Wow! I did not know that!” That is all. I’m assuming you guys knew each other before the Dope? That would be weird, to find that a Doper was my neighbor, just out of the blue.
