I love Dan Ackroyd

Also - is a victim of syndactylism, a birth defect where several digits are fused together. In the film Mr. Mike's Mondo Video (1979), Mr. Aykroyd takes his shoes & socks off on-screen, to reveal this anomaly.

His right eye is Blue and his left eye is Brown

As a child in the early 1960s, he was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome and Asperger syndrome. The symptoms had mostly subsided by the time he was 14.

I also love imdb.com

hah a child psychologist diagnosed me with aspergers when i was 13..
a couple of years later I was telling my doctor who laughed in my face and said that it was ridiculous. Then while speaking to someone who specialises in it they also told me that it was ludacris.. Funny how you can pay someone to give you a bullshit diagnosis.

that's just ... crazy.
I hope that Dr wasn't giving out wild diagnoses all over the place!

(I learned the original fact frm a website where the guy has a young son who has been diagnosed as a high-functioning (as far as they can tell) aspergers boy)
