King for a day?? (or is that rock star?)

Just in case any of you were not alerted to this by D-Rak himself, he is becoming a colourful local personality here in the Burgh.

Evidence: King for a day

For those too lazy (or nauseated) to read the whole thing, some select quotes:

With his long, wavy black hair and goatee, Rakison looks more like a rock star than a university professor. And his lab resembles a nursery school classroom, rather than a place of cutting-edge psychological research. Even the windowsill of his office is littered with a menagerie of plastic animal figurines and a fleet of Hot Wheels.

At least for now, though, he isn't ready to continue his work at home. Rakison said he and his wife, veterinarian Dr. Caroline Simard, don't plan to have babies of their own soon.

"I think we'll start with a dog and go from there," he said.

(David and Caro's family plans, of course, are of major interest to the city of Pittsburgh)
