Great picture. Very cool indeed.

"Being told no" --Doubt he has ever heard that response by a woman. *wink*

alot of his answers shocked the hell out of me. He's a profound guy. I thought he was just a typical man behind the acting.

God he's sexy and intelligent.

He is indeed astute and disciplined. His accomplishments are remarkable: West Point, a convoy leader delivering bombs in the army, speaks German.

I found another place where he answered similar questions:
Which historical figure do you most identify with?
General George Patton

And it looks like he's on record as revising one item he answered above:
What is your greatest fear?
UFO abduction and analysis

He did. As well as:
Who are your favorite writers?
Henry Miller, Carl Jung and Ernest Hemingway

This came from the Official Days of Our Lives Fan Club Newsletter. I've yet to see his Days work, but someone is sending me a tape of many of his clips from it.

If my husband wasn't so smart and hot, I'd be married to MV. He can walk on his hands all over me.

I think he should lend his voice for an audiobook version of Advanced Multivariable Calculus.

If MV were a math teacher...

it would be the best incentive to get girls to take more math classes in high school.

Well of course it is! That's the only way it can be taught. Wonder what the final exam will be like. *wink*

The little castle at the bottom of his yearbook photo I think indicates that he was in the Army Corps of Engineers. I think.

It is [link]! Brilliant. Now... can you decipher "Rugby 4,3; CPRC 4; Catholic Sunday School Teachers 4,3"?

Checked out the West Point site specifically for the student clubs. There is Rugby Club and I am assuming that when he was there, the Catholic Sunday School Teachers Club existed but it does not now. A club with the initials CPRC does not exist now but because there is stuff on his yearbook bio about respect, that it could have been what is now called the "Respect Council Advisory Council." That's my guess. I am assuming that the numbers mean the year he participated in these clubs--3rd year, 4th year.
