Like, as a friend? Or just someone who you met once?
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".

Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

I know no-one of notoriety.

Come to think of it, I've never even seen anyone famous in person (panto excluded).

Well, I know a few famous people, but their like, famous in estonian terms, which means that barring Ashrak, no-one will have ever heard of them.

Met Robert Sawyer twice who is Canada's #1 sci-fi author.  He has me confused with my cousin I think but thats ok...I guess some people know my aunt too so I guess she's kinda famous but authors rarely are superstar in stature and thats probably a good thing.

I met a CBC news anchor once as well...minor claims to fame really.

I Design Websites for Sue Foley (Musician) and James Cohen (Musician) and met both and work closely with them almost daily.

Maybe not uber famous, but to anyone who knows blues or flamenco these two are dominant in those scenes.

riiiight. The fact that they have the world's tallest buildings means squat. In your eyes, they'er all a primitive and backwards people, living in small huts and hunting in the wild to survive.

Well.....yeah.

There's generally a reason behind all racial stereotypes.
