I was reading a book, "The Accidental Tourist" by Anne Tyler, and guess
who one of the characters were?...None other than Dana Scully, and in the
book, the Dana Scully character is (gasp) a MAN! Now the book is
copyright 1985, so the writers of The X-files either knowingly or
subconsciously ripped the name off! I'm kind of disappointed in their
lack of creativity.

Give Chris Carter a break, Michael. He has already stated that Scully's
last name was taken from sportscaster Vin Scully, and the first name,
Dana, is just a woman's name he likes. So he put them together. I don't
think he was ripping off Anne Tyler.
