HeyDidYaKnow Star Trek Space Sailor George Takai is no longer Sulu… i mean solo.  Sorry fetishists.  He has married his longtime partner of 21 years Brad Altman at the Japanese American National Museum by a Buddhist priest.  In more pressing news, the European Stock exchanges have fallen more than 4% with the news that Lehman Brothers filed chapter 11 Bankruptcy before the American markets even opened, which are expected to fare even worse.  The Lehman Brothers, one of the five (that’s right, just five) Investment Banks in the US had over $640 Billion worth of assets.  Merril Lynch is also having it’s own troubles, and soon might be bought out by Bank of America.
