Eli,
You were on nightline a few days ago. There was you, Al Gore and George =
Bush. Gore called you a "genius among the upcoming generation." You =
said at the most you were only brilliant and enjoyed tv like anyone =
else. =20
Bush called you a "brainiac" and said he would have never allowed you =
into his fraternity. Than you challenged Bush to spell the word =
Brainiac. It just went downhill from there with poor Ted Koppel trying =
to restore order...
You made a guest appearance on the show V.I.P. which stars Pamela =
Anderson as the head of a bodyguard agency. Some renegade government =
agents are trying to kidnap you and make you give up the secrets of the =
singularity institute. A wealthy friend hires Pamela and her girls to =
protect you. =20
I just couldn't get over the torrid love scene you and Pamela had on the =
floor of the singularity institute! The censors must have been asleep =
at the wheel! I hear her husband Tommy Lee is stalking you now because =
of it... =20
Oh, and there was the ten hour long series by Ken Burns(of the acclaimed =
civil war series) who did your biography. I held back the tears as the =
narrator's rich voice read your posts to the extro list with violin =
music playing in the background. I never knew learning about A.I. could =
touch me so deeply... =20
I could not believe it when 60 Minutes did their "ambush journalism" on =
you! They stormed into your study, past your secretary and security, =
demanding to know what the true aim of the singularity institute was. =
Harry Reasoner would yell, "stop lying Eli!" everytime you said you were =
trying to simply expand the boundaries of human knowledge. =20
Finally, when you admitted to wanting to take over the world Reasoner =
was satisfied. Than the rest of the argument focused on just how =
malevolent you would actually be. =20
And we must not forget the slender publication "Eli, he's so sexy =
smart!" It was done by the same people who publish the Sweet Valley =
High series which knows no end. I could tell the book was aimed toward =
geek grrls who are looking for a cyberryfic guy to fantasize about. It =
was right next to the N'Sync bios...=20
I have heard you were also cryptically mentioned in the Bible, the =
quatrains of Nostrodomus and have even had your likeness appear on =
potato chips. =20
But on a sad note I read the indepth article about you in the National =
Enquirer. I didn't know you had a raging drug problem and had thrown =
punches at photographers. Wait, I had you confused with Sean Penn for a =
moment there...
You were in the Weekly World News though. In fact you got there cover =
story. It showed you getting married to a space alien. I called them =
up and asked if the story were true. =20
The reporter laughed and said no, but that you told them for the =

P.S. I do look forward to your upcoming interview in Playboy. =20
