Charles Nagy: One of the pitchers for the Cleveland Indians. He blew the last play in the 96-97 World Series, I think. His name is always pronounced wrong. It isn't Nag-ee In reality, it should be pronounced "Nej-yeh". It really sounds horrible, and gives me nightmares. AHHHHHHHHHHH! Brrrr!

Bela Lugosi: He was an actor a long time ago. He was the title character in "Nosferatu", and a bunch of other old movie monsters. He is the old guy who is depicted in the movie "Ed Wood" starring Jonny Depp. For More info, go to THE WEBWORLD OF BELA LUGOSI.

Zsa Zsa Gabor: She is old. She has made tons of cameos in movies. She has a really distintive accent. The one cool thing about here is that she got in trouble for punching a cop about 8 years ago. Sweet. She was NOT in Green Acres. That was her sister:

Eva Gabor: She was the wife on Green Acres. Not to be confused with the new hit song from The Smashing Pumpkins, 'Ava Adore'. For much, much more info, go to Nick at Nite Online.
