Used Factoid of the Day

"Keanu" is a derivation of Reeves' great-great-uncle Keaweaheulu, whose name means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian.

- from here.

this has nothing to do what so ever with bikes, cycling or beer. so there.

and, for all you william gibson fans; reeves played the role of johnny mnemonic (in the eponymous flim) who, according the short story by the aforementioned author, dated a girl named molly millions / "sally shears" (the latter because of her ability to extend and retract at will razor blades fromunda her nails), who, over the course of a series of short stories and novels, eventually dates a man named case. case is the lead role in 'neuromancer' (arguably gibson's best work), and the footprint - along with the whole fucking rest of neuromancer - for the hit sci-fi movie trilogy, "The Matrix," with molly brought to life by the svelt character, Trinity.

therefore reeves, effectively, played both the current and most-recent-ex boyfriends of molly shears.
