Steve, how about a study of the marshes around the West Haven VA for viagra levels? any sightings of muskrats w/ priapism? (I challenge anyone to find that question elsewhere in the blogosphere)

He's a Christian Scientist and star of such movies as "Top Gun" and the delightful "Eyes Wide Shut." You may recall him from his public disagreement with Brooke Shields about the fact that he does not believe that post-partum depresssion should be treated with SSRIs since he and other Christian Scientists do not think that humans should be taking drugs/medicine for any reason. Or something like that.
