These are strange times we live in, my friend. Have you ever sat down in an easy chair and started petting a cat on your lap? And then the cat looks at you and starts belting out Barry White tunes while a spinning disco ball descends from the ceiling and your grandmother dances out of the kitchen while French kissing John Travolta? No? Well me neither.

But I did have this experience – I was watching the Spongebob Squrepants movie with my kids the other day (excellent movie, by the way). After the movie, we watched some of the extra features, which included a cool documentary featuring Jasques Cousteau’s grandson and interviews with various cast members. Everything is going along fine, when all of the sudden, they show the face of Clancy Brown – the voice of Mr. Krab. I knew the face immediately.

Mr. Krab is really none other than Victor Kruger – the nefarious Kurgan from the original Highlander movie! What I thought was just another happy-go-lucky crustacean capitalist, is actually a bloodthirsty immortal killing machine! Who would have thought? I mean the guy's name is Clancy, for heaven's sake.

What’s next? Will we find out that Bart Simpson is actually a woman? That the governor of California is really the Terminator?

Sometimes, truth really is stranger than fiction.
