http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6176232.stmPacino accepts university honour Movie star Al Pacino has spoken of his affection for Ireland while accepting an honorary patronage of Dublin's Trinity College Philosophical Society. The Godfather star, who was given a standing ovation, also revealed he was keen to make a film in the country. Pacino has travelled to France and Ireland while researching a new film documentary, Salomaybe, about Dublin-born writer Oscar Wilde. He said he had never felt "such warmth or so at ease". The actor, who appeared as King Herod in Wilde's Salome on Broadway, was drawn to Dublin after developing an interest in Wilde's work. Wilde's influence He said: "My first visit to this country, to this beautiful great city Dublin." "It has made the connection to Wilde and Salome more real, more complete." "I just want to say thank you for this honour," he added. Pacino, who flew in from Paris after frequenting the haunts where Wilde spent his last days, told the audience he had filmed the writer's statue in Dublin during the day. The film is based on Pacino's quest to find out more about the intellectual and his influences for writing Salome, published in 1892. The actor will also speak to some of Trinity's students about Wilde's time as an undergraduate at the college.

A beautiful young woman was spotted by the Police, trying to sneak past the security and reach to the stage where Al Pacino was standing while delivering his speech. On interrogation, it was revealed that she is of Russian origin and the police suspect that she has been secretly stalking Pacino wherever he goes. Yeah I heard about that. She kept saying "I'm Just a Fan, Just a Fan, Just a Fan." All they found in her belongings were photos of Al, Colin Firth, and flowers. Shes got an attorney from Iran.

Fame, this is going to come off as a bit awkward, but thank you for the above post. It made me laugh inexplicably. Not in anyway that meant offense to you, it just read awkwardly and dryly humorous. It looks like something that would be dialouge in one of Hunter S. Thompsons pieces of writing.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
