It's like that "2 Stars, 1 Slot" thing at Fametracker.com, but less professional.
Master, this entry has images. It'll take a sec to load.
Thanks for your patience.

Lannie had this idea that I should publish a comparison study of everybody's favourite drummers. I said, "Hey, I don't think Ringo and the Energizer Bunny have that much in common. How about OUR favourite drummers?" She was all, "cool." So I proudly present:
| Name | Stewart Copeland | Andrew Scott |
| Sign | Cancer (16 July) | Scorpio (15 November, so they're highly compatible, anyway) |
| Occupation | Drummer; contributor to soundtracks of various box-office tankers. | Drummer; makes out with boys in little-known independent films. |
| Friends in high places | The CIA | Dave "this round's on me, boys!" Foley |
| Hair | Grey | Grey. Admit it. |
| Love of his life | Fiona | Fiona |
| Don't piss him off 'cos | He beat up Sting one time. | He beat up a Fender Rhodes one time. |
| Vowels in his given name | A, e, and sometimes w. | A, e, and sometimes w. |
| And has Erin ever had an agonising real-life crush who happened to have that same given name, in a cruel twist of irony? | Yeah. A photographer. Don't wanna get into it. | Yeah. Another photographer. Don't wanna get into it. |
Granted, at first the similarities looked like nothing more than a series of obnoxious coincidences. But you know me. I hate coincidences. Trying to give synchronicities (pardon the pun, I beg of you) the benefit of the doubt, I assume they're not coincidences but actually slightly-less-annoying examples of providence.
Besides, Little Miss "It's A Fact" told me to do this comparison study. So here you have it.
See for yourselves. Here's Andrew (note the glasses, in a rare appearance on his face where they're supposed to be -- that big blind phony):
And here's Stewart, almost as equally in-denial about his bad vision, but kind enough to don his glasses in an effort to appear intellectual:
Note their matching elongated faces and bulb-tipped noses. Rrrrrrowr.
Another case study! Here's shirtless Andrew:
And here's shirtless Stewart, modelling the lovely collarbone he later broke when he was thrown from a horse:
Yeah, okay, the similarities here aren't exactly uncanny, but I really, really wanted to look at them both half-naked.
Here's my last extrapolation. Look at Stew's big, manly feet:
And this is the best I could do for Andy's feet. Granted, perspective plays a role, but if you'll refer to your copies of Smeared, that photo of the guys with the little lawn gnome provides an excellent example of Andrew's shoe size...
I conclude that there's formidable support for Laura's notion that the boys are long-lost relatives. And that if she wants a more thorough case study she should get someone who's good at research to carry it off. Neener!
