The vile author of this cacoëthic claptrap was born in the latter part of the 20th century and expects to die at some point in the 21st (depending on advances in medical science, of course). He is a writer, occasional stand-up comedian and former local radio DJ. An optician once described his corneas as the largest she's seen in her entire professional career.
