Having read the other thread about Roddy and the bible it hit me what his big secret is.

Roddy is a defrocked priest who is hiding out in the BB house to evade prosecution.

He could also be Justin in disguise.

Maybe Roddy's secret is that his family is
"connected." He is Italian, from Soprano territory, and does a really, really good "Joey." Being from NJ myself, I wouldn't be surprised. Sometimes it seems that every other person in North Jersey is connected.

So Roddy is the son of some Mafia Don who is hiding out in the BB house because there is a hit on him?

Apparently Lehigh used to be the Engineers:

"Historically, Lehigh has always been known as an engineering school. Hence the name, "Lehigh Engineers." Oh, and by the way, the Lehigh nickname is no longer the "Engineers." It recently was changed to the "Mountain Hawks" to be more inclusive of students in the Colleges of Business and Economics, the Arts and Sciences, and Education."

So Curlyq, here's another quest. Roddy calls them the Lehigh Engineers and yesterday he discussed how the name was changed to the more politically correct Mountain Hawks (so more ladies would apply), so when was the change? If it was in the 70's, then he's definitely older than he seems!

I forgot to post the link where I found that quote I posted above, but it seems to me that I found 2000-2001 NCAA stories that still referred to the team as the Engineers, so I bet it happened recently.

Yes, Maris, he is the son of a Mafia Don who is hiding out in the BB House because there is a hit on him because he used to be a priest who is now defrocked because of...uh...certain improprieties with the son of a highly placed "connected" individual.

Whew, now that Maris has figured that one out, what's our next assignment?

OT Willnu, everytime I watch that movie, I see some new symbolism or metaphor in it. Have you noticed the popcorn on the floor and the bits of sand at the end (in Elly's hand) make the same kind of symbol? Could it be a "C?" (For Carl?) I simply love it!

O.K. you can slap me now. ;)

Roddy said today that he has or use to have every Pink Floyd album/vinyl. hmmm. I am 42 and Pink Floyd was one of my fav's and I use to have the albums. I know younger people collect and like older bands but still I am thinking Roddy is 40 at least. JMHO :0)

I'm 29 and have every Floyd album. I don't think Roddy has a reason to lie about his age.

My son's 19 and has a HUGE Pink Floyd poster in his dorm room. The same one my brother-in-law had up in the 70's and my son had no idea. They're apparently timeless so no mark of age.

Just read the Live Feed transcripts and caught this as posted by Kaytee ... Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 04:43 am (roddy, amy and lisa in the HT)

R, what do we have 36 weeksleft?
A, 45
R, oky, one for every year of my life
L, what time does the sun come up? not til 6 or 7?

(did Roddy just let his age slip out? is this his secret?)

Roddy is 30 years old. He didn't let anything slip. The whole "Roddy is 40 years old" bit is a running gag in the house. Like the way they imitate Adam Sandler Cajun Boy("constipaySHAWN") and that thing they do with the commercial with the talking duck (AFLAC).

I think on another board there is someone who said they went to high school with Roddy and confirmed his age as 30.

* Off Topic* in response to the Roddy's 3 months younger than Marcellas post

Marcellas is listed as 34, but he's told everyone in the house he's 29.

I've always though Roddy looked and acted older than your average 30-year-old. He strikes me a someone on the downslide to 40. No reason to believe that except my own perception.

To me Roddy seems 30. Danielle on the other hand I thought was 40....maybe because she has kind of taken on a motherly role...not sure.
