That is the truth. Really. That is one hundred percent accurate. You could look that up on Wikipedia.
Just like some far-fetched, globe-trotting antihero from one of his own unsettling, yet darkly prophetic novels, he is… Actually, never mind who he is. Does that matter? Is that an issue for us, really? You know what? We’re all done here. Turn the page. We need to pretty much move right along
