Are there any for real famous Du'ers?
Actors, politicians, writers, musicians etc.
Always been curious about this even though Im sure if there are any they wont acknowledge it.

30. I wrote the coastline design software that was used when earth was created
But no one ever gives me credit for it.

It was a huge evolutionary leap in coastline design software, which is readily apparent if you look at older planets around the galaxy.

35. JoeforClark wrote a bestselling book. I don't know if he's still here
though. :(

Andy had a huge network and had some very well known friends including Gore Vidal. I got to talk to him twice to update him on Andy's status. He's a very nice man.

48. I've been in lots of newspapers, magazines, web sites, etc....
Edited on Tue Jun-12-07 03:42 PM by bedpanartist
for my art work and my music. The Dayton Daily News, Louisville Courier Journal, Columbus Alive, Nashville Scene, Cincinnati Citybeat, Cincinnati Enquirer, Amplifier Magazine and a bunch more that I forgot about.

Penn Jillette is also one of my biggest fans and Chuck Cleaver is a personal friend.

Does that count for anything?

All that being said, I'm far from being "real" famous, which i would define as not being able to walk down the street. I walk down the street and nobody knows my name, most of the time.
