Odds are that you're familiar enough with Brent Spiner to know that he played Data on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" for the majority of our childhoods. And like many celebrities, Spiner has a Twitter account, likely foisted upon him by his agent, who assured him it would be good for his image. And given the nearly one-and-a-half-million followers Spiner has accumulated, it appears she was right. But odds are that there'll be at least one crazy among that mil-and-a-half.

Cue super-fan Marcus Norvell, who made it his mission to get the actor's attention, through any means possible. What does that mean? A lengthy campaign of annoyance, the likes of which you're unlikely to see outside of an elementary school.

Norvell directed no less than 40 random messages to Spiner over the course of about four days. What kind of messages? Take a look at some of his better ones ...

@BrentSpiner My urine and stool is free of blood. How do I celebrate?
@BrentSpiner what is a good substitution for a shepherd in shepherd's pie? Mine got away.
@BrentSpiner Do lazy eyes exist in the future? What about pinwheels?
@BrentSpiner when are you coming back home to Houston to visit me? We have a lesbian mayor now.
@BrentSpiner I've been finding snippets of midget pornography in my dog's pockets before washing his clothes.

At long last, Mr. Spiner finally made a personal response to all the tweets directed at him: "Really, Marcus. Enough is enough. None of this is actually amusing. Thanks anyway."

Last we checked, Norvell had moved on to asking Bill Nye the Science Guy about the sexual habits of global warming, though he hasn't fully forgotten Spiner.
