I am not quite so sure how we got on the topic; but while my wife and I were driving to a cabin the other day, we got into a conversation comparing actors Keanu Reeves and Takuya Kimura (also known as Kimutaku.)

(Just in case you've never heard of Kimutaku: He is one of the most famous current Japanese actors.)

hi jamie - this is not Iron Rob, it's Nancy. this is one of my favorite blogs yet! I especially like your comparison spreadsheet. I would like to say that Keanu does have nice hair. It isn't as magnificent as Takuya Kimura's but when it's long, it's very nice.
