    My dad was a year ahead of Michael Stackpole's younger brother at West Point. I found him in one of the year books. Kinda cute actually. :) But my dad didn't know him.

    That was my random fact... now what is yours?

    I'm an evolved human,

    When I almost broke my ankle teaching Kenpo they x-rayed my foot. I have a small extra bone in my ankle that started popping up in the human species only a couple of hundred years ago and is still rare.

    They're still trying to figure out what it's purpose is :)

    I used to have to chaperone John Elway's tequila shooter nights to the Restaurant/bar I worked at sometimes. The guy was a jerk and would terrorize the waitresses and then leave no tips

    I have a pic of me standing in John Elway's locker; a t-shirt autographed by the "3 Amigos": Ricky Natiel, Mark Jackson, I forget the other one, and some of the other Broncos players from back in '89; and I also have a hand drawn sketch of Mario Andretti that is autographed by the best man in auto racing ever.

    Word, Suckas.

    I used to play softball against Lisa Fernandez (Olympic Champion Softball Player).

    And yeah, she really can pitch that fast. I only ever got one hit off of her and it was stone that dropped right into the ground. And being a slow moving beast, I never made it to First Base. :(

    i live in the same town as the former owners of the 49ers, the debartolos. (which gets annoying cuz the papers care more about the niners than they do any other team)

    You really don't want to get me started on this one. I have proof.

    Here we go...

    My mom flew to the mainland (from Hawaii) with Steven Spielberg after he was done shooting Jurassic Park. Hurricane I. (I forgot how to spell it) was coming in so the Salvation Army came to help. All commercial airline flights were stopped. For clarification - Mom was with the Salvation Army.

    By the way, I'm related to Aaron Burr.
