That's right - Bill Bixby! Wasn't he the actor who played Incredible Hulk in the older tv series? Lol, I agree the "Poopdeck Pappy" was played by Ray well!
Yep, funny how he earned our sympathy - he was my favorite, too. I think there were a lot of ladies who crushed on Jonathan Frid!

Frankie Muniz was born in 1985
I just read this week that Frankie Muniz had a mini stroke. He said he wished he had paid more attention to the fact that his eye clouded over where he couldn't see well out of it, and his speech started slurring - but he wasn't thinking that much of it, until the stroke happened. That's a young age for that, but I guess none of us ever knows what could happen to any of us at any age...

Jesus was born on Dec 25. Does anyone no the year?
"Two independent approaches can be used to estimate the year of birth of Jesus, one based on the nativity accounts in the gospels, the other by working backwards from the date of the start of his ministry. Most scholars assume a date of birth between 6 and 4 BC."

Yes, lol, I knew! It is a shame, though, that what used to be a fairly common name has now been changed to such an ugly meaning. I wonder how Van Patten and Richard Nixon would feel about that today?
