There was also a Paris in the fantastic and popular Mission Impossible TV series. One of Paris' personnae was Zastro - a magician. The role of Paris was played by Leonard Nimoy of Star Trek Spock fame. -Dave

And now, a note from our moderator: None of this seems to have much of anything to do with the stated topic of the list. Could those interested in further discussion on Superbowl effluvia kindly take the thread off-list? Most humbly yours, -dan. Daniel P.

Someone else did the thing that Paris did, not as well perhaps but good enough. As it happens Greg Morris passed away not too long ago, in Las Vegas of all places. And surprisingly enough all of the gadgetry that turns up in the original series was designed and built by him. He contributed that bit of trivia in a magazine letter.

Re: OT: Superbowl ad
Hello! And all this without seeing the ad in question no less. Actually Nick you meant she. Paris Hilton, one of the heirs to the entire fortune that the Hilton hotel chain should be making, is female. And yes her talents such as they are do need to be discerned. I can think of only two individuals named Paris who were male, and one was responsible for the events in the Illiad, and the other is of course from TV, and all of you know who I mean. And yes I do agree with your statement, Besides, it's hard to imagine someone worthy like a Knight or Lady of VM working the fries machine, right? Indeed. It's like those ads for that other insurance company. The people there may be celebrities, but its up to us to believe if they are or not. -- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Force will be with you. Always.
