    Oh hell no! That's like mistaking the Jonas brothers for James Taylor. That's too much for my soul.

    Oh you gotta be KIDDING me! Confuse Morrison for McMillan? And it annoys me when someone thinks I teach H.S. Biology! Let's see, hmmmmm Nobel Prize winner vs. author with not quite enough money to hire a friend with gay-dar? OK, that was wrong...I'm going to the corner now
