That's for sure. I collected comics for over ten years. I didn't
intend to collect them, I only bought them to read. But I'm
obsessively careful about *all* my reading matter, hardbacks,
paperbacks and comics. So the collection grew to fill a couple of
trunks.
When I eventually liquidated the collection, I got back far less
than I'd paid for them. (This is despite have a very long run of
X-Men titles in it, when X-Men were practically printed on gold leaf.)
Sure, it was nice to get a few hundred dollars back for something I
no longer wanted...but it was hardly a profit-making venture.
...and what's this about SME's?

This true, but I think being passively exposed to the existence of
other works of fiction is different from actively filing the serial

Yeah, and? So what's your point?
In case it hasn't crossed your mind, nuclear *weapons* are entirely
different from nuclear *power plants*. One of these (I'll let you
figure out which) is designed to purposely spill unimaginable amounts
of heat, light and radiation across vast stretches of landscape,
destroying buildings, vehicles, plants, animals and people. Some have
been specially designed to produce *extra* radiation in order to kill
people faster and reduce the damage to the landscape, so that its
owners can more quickly move in to mop up the resistance.
The *other* nuclear technology is designed to be as safe and
reliable as humanly possible. And to generate far less pollution
(while generating far more power) than any other form of energy
available--including solar energy. The total number of people killed
or injured by this technology is dwarfed by the numbers who've died
directly or indirectly as a result of the use of coal, oil, gasoline,
kerosene, wood and other fuels.
Can you tell me which one is which?
Can you tell me how many coal miners have died to save you from the
evils of nuclear energy? How many oil rig workers? How many tanker
truck drivers?

According to the interview, he's going to keep working as long as
possible, which could be quite a while. Actor Dana Eclar slowly went blind
and yet still appeared regularly in MacGyver (they even worked the fact that
he was going blind into the storyline of the series). I've seen him in a
bunch of stuff since.
As for an address, I'll see what I can find out. I'm not sure which
agency has his contract.

- Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez
This is a list of Immortals from Highlander. Information in this list
is taken from the first and third films, the television series, and (since
the information given in it is official) the trading card game. I update
this list on a weekly basis after every new episode (and sometimes *during*
every new episode).
No characters from that abortion of a film "Highlander 2" will ever find
a place on this list with the exception of Connor MacLeod and Ramirez, as I
no longer acknowledge the existance of said film. No characters from that
abortion of a cartoon on USA will ever appear, either, mainly because I think
it sucks.
This list is current up to "Chivalry".
Some quick notes about the list:
1. The Immortals are listed in alphabetical order.
2. If the word "Unknown" appears in an entry, that means that either
the information has never been revealed or that I haven't been able to find
out about the info in question. (And anyone who has missing info may feel
free to send it to me, with my thanks.)
3. The ages listed for the immortals are, in most cases, estimates
given from "flashback" appearances and dialog from the various episodes.
Where exact ages have been shown, I list those.
4. "Mentors" and "Students" covers any Immortal teaching any other
Immortal any subject, or otherwise taking a guiding hand in the other
Immortal's life.
5. "Other Appearances" does *not* list "fast flashback" appearances
(such as the pictured found in the Watchers database from "Finale"), but does
include "story flashbacks". I am missing some information on some of the
Immortals (namely Richie Ryan and Darius), so some of these entries may be
missing info.
6. "Quickenings" only refers to those which have been revealed in the
series through dialog or direct portrayal.
7. The "Notes" section is a shorthanded way to help people recognize
which Immortal is which. Some of these are more wordy than others, and for
this I apologize. Personal preference.
8. There are occasions in which information on my list openly and
readily conflicts with the list constructed by Brian Haden. This is not
meant to imply that Brian's list is wrong, or that my list is right, but
rather than his source information is different than mine.
