dispelling/confirming rumors.

I have been getting a lot of questions about the picture of my skull on my profile. I would like to address this issue by first saying that my answer should in no way take away from my greatness as a bike racer, and a human being.
Having said that: YES. YES. That is really my skull. It was taken using expirimental X-Ray technology to produce a hi-rez image.
As I have often said: "There is more to me than just a great tan, this fantastic body, and tall socks." In this case, there is also my diamond encrusted skull.
