Book Character
Oh Romeo!
Romeo, what he didn't know... if only he waited to learn the truth he could've become a fine sleuth!

Mrs. Good
My second grade teacher Mrs. Good tried to find ways to harass (as she could) but what she didn't know all along we were actually singing her song!
Famous Person
Eric Bana
You soared over HULKing in Troy, Eric Bana, as Hector, you bulked more than Indiana Jones we all know; Will your career take you higher or will your role choices make them dire?

Don Hi Don.
Eric Bana played the lead role in the movie HULK, which aired before the movie TROY.
Personally, I think he did a much finer job in Troy as Hector. :lovie:
Indiana Jones is the character played by Harrison Ford in the Radiers of the Lost Ark trilogy from the 80's.
Cheers! ~CLeo
