Several readers have pointed out that my posts aren't very personal and they'd like to know more about me, not just what I believe but what I'm like as a person. With that in mind, here are some facts about me:
- I can walk on my hind legs, convert oxygen into carbon dioxide, and bend spoons with my bare hands.
- I have a PhD in Intellectual Honesty from the University of Keepin' It Real.
- I rebroadcast baseball games without the express written consent of Major League Baseball. (I do have their verbal consent.)
- My parents popularized the adage "laughter is the best medicine". Also, several of my siblings died in infancy.
- I was invented in China in the eleventh century, but I was originally used for fireworks, not weaponry.
- I learned the hard way that a piñata is a bad choice for a Halloween costume.
