Hey Rocky, watch me pull an autobiography out of my hat...
Again?
Nothin' up my sleeve....
My father had a small estate in Nottinghamshire; I was the third of five sons. He sent me to Emanuel College in Cambridge, at fourteen years old, where I resided three years, and applied myself close to my studies: but the charge of maintaining me (although I had a very scanty allowance) being too great for a narrow fortune, I was bound apprentice to Mr. James Bates, an eminent surgeon in London, with whom I continued for four years; and my father now and then sending me small sums of money, I laid them out in learning navigation, and other parts of mathematics, useful to those who intend to travel, as I always believed it would be sometime or other my fortune to do.
Whoops, no moose in this one. What a strange hat, it keeps changing size.
Now here's something we hope you'll *really* like...
