CORRECTION:  In this episode, I wrongly stated one of my housemates was from Iran.  He was actually from Egypt!  No one out there would know that, but I have enough integrity to admit I messed up.  Not even sure how I messed that up, but I may have been thinking of someone I have met from Iran.  In any case, I got along well with that guy from Egypt (though he criticized Heather Langenkamp's acting in A Nightmare on Elm Street).
