    Michael Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones were both born on September 25th.

    Catherine was born on the same day as me. She's much better looking though.

The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

    Dude no... They don't have a need for swimming, they have the ability to fly. I know they act like they don't but, I know for a fact they do. I have ridden one.
