Hi, it's 2 o'clock in the morning here; I went to bed one hour ago, but, as you see, I couldn't sleep, so I'm coming up with Jean Genet for Bio n.25...

Hey Rocky, watch me pull an autobiography out of my hat...

Again?

Nothin' up my sleeve....

      Connected, through my mother, to all that was greatest in the kingdom; attached, through my father, to all that was most distinguished in the province of Languedoc; born in Paris in the bosom of luxury and plenty, I believed, from the time I could reason, that nature and fortune had joined together to heap their gifts upon me; I believed it because people were foolish enough to tell me so, and this ridiculous prejudice made me haughty, despotic, and angry. It seemed that everything must give in to me, that the whole world must flatter my whims, and that it was up to me alone to convince and satisfy them. I shall recall for you only one feature of my childhood to convince you of the dangerous principles that others so ineptly allowed to germinate in me.

Whoops, I know where this narrative's going. Amazingly imaginative hat, though.

Now here's something we hope you'll *really* like...
