But what don’t we know about Eric?

Did you know that Eric detests the taste of chocolate and coffee, and can’t stand carbonated fluids? That’s right, his entire career, and indeed his life, has been conducted entirely without the use of highly or even moderately caffeinated beverages.

I even got to ask him a few questions. Read the rest at Lunartics, the Lunarpages.com blog.
