FAMOUS PEOPLE
AND THEIR
DREAMS:

 
 
KATARINA WITT’S DREAM:
“ALL RAPPED UP”
“I have this recurring dream where I’m back at the Olympics, performing a medal-quality skating routine, but the tone-deaf crowd ruins the performance by clapping out of sync with the music.”
 
LEONARD NIMOY’S DREAM:
“TOO MUCH SHATNER”
“I dream I’m trapped on a high rock ledge. Suddenly, William Shatner and the ‘911’ crew show up, but inform me they are only there to film scenes for the 911th Star Trek movie, ‘Rigel 7 Rheumatics’...”
 
CHARLTON HESTON’S
DREAM:  “PHONING IT IN”
“I dream the Democrats pass a law making it illegal to be rude to telemarketers. Fortunately, in a follow-up dream the Republicans pass a law making it legal to shoot your telephone.”

Notable Quotable

"You hear headlines from time to time about the Amazon [rainforest] disappearing at a greater or lesser rate.... The real story is that over time the rate has stayed just the same. Year after year, decade after decade, we have failed to stop—or really even decrease—deforestation."

        – Patrick Symmes, Outside Magazine, interviewed on Living on Earth
