FUN FACTS ABOUT GLENN REYNOLDS

(A FILTHY LIE)

To many people, Glenn Reynolds IS the blogosphere, and unless he talks about a subject, it doesn't blip their radar. But despite his alleged popularity, very little is known about the man behind the pixels. As a public service, I will attempt to correct this blogospheric blind spot by revealing some

FUN FACTS ABOUT GLENN REYNOLDS

Although Glenn doesn't smoke cigarettes, he DOES occasionally indulge in a fine cigar, if it's been properly Lewinskied first.

In this age of corrective eye surgery, Glenn Reynolds continues to wear glasses. This is due partly to astigmatism and partly to protect the innocent from the deadly lasers that shoot out of his eyes.

There is no truth to the rumor that the X-Men character Cyclops was based on Glenn.

Just because Glenn is a lawyer, that doesn't mean he's a bad person. After all, John Edwards is a lawyer, and he... um... Nevermind.

Glenn Reynolds is a computer expert and has written several books on the topic, including "Try Turning It Off And On", "Where the F*** Is The 'Any' Key", and "Innocent Names For Your Penguin Porn Mpeg Files".

Glenn's says that his favorite kind of dog is "any sort of 'mixed' breed", but failed to elaborate.

Glenn has exquisite taste in home furnishings. All his lampshades are from the exclusive "Ed Gein Collection" of fine leather products.

As a law professor, Glenn Reynolds is quite popular with his students, teaching such classes as "GPS Ambulance Tracking", "Juror Tears - Liquid Gold", and "Shrink the Glove, Free the Client".

Glenn Reynolds played the part of The Inanimate Carbon Rod on The Simpsons.

Which has led to some speculation that Glenn might actually be the brains behind THIS web site, although the evidence is currently inconclusive.

He also starred as "Uruk-Hai #3247" in "The Two Towers". Look closely at the beginning of the "Battle of Helm's Deep" scene. He's the one wearing glasses.

He missed getting the part of Harry Potter's magic wand because he "wasn't wooden enough". That role was eventually awarded to Al Gore.

If Glenn Reynolds bites you, you become a blogger.

An unholy, undead blogger.

And completely devoid of fashion sense.

But you'll get a lot of traffic, so it might be worth it.

On the other hand, you'll also have to put up with an unruly horde of lesser bloggers telling filthy lies about you and shouting:

INSTAPUNDO DELENDA EST!

So you can make your own call on that one.

I like the idea of being part of an "unruly horde". After we finish telling lies about Glen, I say we all fly to California and toss half-empty beer bottles through Noam Chomsky's living room window.

S - WOOT! I'm SO there!

Of course, I wouldn't want to waste even HALF a bottle of good beer on Chomsky.

Maybe we could throw Coors Light? :-)
