Nice surprise

I don't usually get that excited when I find out that someone famous is a Christian. That sounds bad, doesn't it? I mean, I like to find out anyone is a Christian, but I'm not one of those guys who feels the need to prove to other people that "Christianity is cool" by pointing to celebrities who belong to the faith.

All that being said...

I just read on Wikipedia that Alton Brown, host of Good Eats on the Food Network, is a Christian. That's really cool.

I also found out that he the director of photography for the R.E.M. video, "The One I Love."

Alton Brown is awesome. If you don't watch Good Eats you should start. It's a cooking show where Brown explores the science behind cooking. He's really funny and relatable. He's also a friggin' genius. The other night on a reality show competition called The Next Food Network Star he determined that a Chilean Sea Bass was farm raised instead of coming from the wild based on the deformation of it's dorsal fin.

On a similar note I was once able to determine that Greg Gilmore is from Owensboro based on the shape of his foot. True story.
