There are s couple of random Rick Ellis's who aren't me. For years, a Sinatra impersonator was a big one. And the TV exec for New Zealand. Now it's some MMA fighter

I have always joked that if aliens invaded the Earth, CNBC anchors would be on the air saying "Sure, the human death camps aren't ideal. But the contraction in the workforce is likely to bring an increase in productivity and provide a tail wind for revenue growth"

On an unrelated note, I need to see how to get an entry about myself in Wikipedia
