......................

i've always been fascinated with people's signatures.
how about you?

i find the real study of handwriting analysis an interesting one, although i personally know nothing of it. in cyber world, i think the fonts we choose to use are a bit like mechanical autographs, but nothing really can replace a real, life handwritten message or signature in my mind. two fun things to do today, handwriting lovers:

1) a fun little challenge for you! (there's a PRIZE!)

below i've included 7 famous-folk signatures. let's see if you can, for fun, decipher whose is whose! i have very illegible handwriting most of the time, so i love seeing other's signatures! some seem earier than others!

in no particular order, here are some clues:

a) all of the people are alive, except one.

b) the autographs belong to, in no particular order:

a famous athlete
a famous writer
a famous musician
a famous politician
a famous movie star
a famous host
a famous director

c) the athlete & the writer are canadian.
d) 3 are men, 4 are women. enter your guesses below.
