Hey, it's Arthur C. Clarke!
I certainly didn't have him showing up in a Superbowl ad on my bingo card.
I mean, I did have Isaac Asimov on my bingo card, but I don't suppose he'd be close enough, huh?
(Yes, that is a self burn there!)

To explain the above, years ago, as the guest on a special Christmas episode of a radio science show, I misattributed Clarke's 3rd law to Isaac Asimov instead. I was later offered the opportunity to guest host when the host was out, but it fell through. (Yeah, I wonder why.)
