ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 6th November 2002 
MotDoc
So yeah, I'm MotDoc and this here is my chamber of doom. Or something. I was originally the Master of the Dojo of Coolness, but that Dojo is temporarily suspended due to Mongol raids (read: lack of membership) so my name was shortened to MotDoc and I was given this ridiculous title and mission by the Temple to Smiley. I am also a Pythonist Shrub Hunter and Upper Class Twit. Trying to become a sub-ed, but the Italics don't seem to want to send me an application, or maybe it was filtered out. Might consider being a scout one day, although I'm not sure I could commit that much time to the PR at the moment. That's about it.

Picture Page

Because I am easily amused, I have taken all the pictures which accompanied my front-page entries and put them here. Enjoy.

Holy Mission of the Knights Smiley

The Holy Battle-Axe of Smiley

Smiley is a deity! It must be worshipped! Since it is somebody's duty to spread this message to the infidels and noone else seems to want to do it, I formed the Holy Order of the Knights of the Angered Smiley grr , aka the Knights Smiley. Thus I march about the nether regions of H2G2 (especially the Avenue of Small Gods), fulfilling my mission. Join me, and be a part of the glory!

Editor's Choice, Baby
Feb 9, 2004

My first ever edited entry, A Brief Timeline of Chinese History, appeared on the front page today as editor's choice bubbly . I think I shall take that little specially designed image and put it in my home space.

Incidentally, China is only the first of many intended 'Brief Timeline' entries to give a basic overview of the history of important places. My next one is Byzantium, although who knows when that will be completed. Maybe after that I will do the Roman Empire.

The 90 year old man
Dec 18, 2003

Last night I went to the birthday of Henry "Hank" Herschberg, aged 90. For his birthday Hank sang "O Tannenbaum" in German and then proceeded to beat everyone present in Trivial Pursuit.

This man still hits (and gets) everything that moves, used to pull cars out of the snow by brute force when he lived in Vermont 5 years ago, and still chopped his own firewood until he was 80. When asked his secret, he told a long story involving a group of rabbis in his native Brooklyn, the Golem, and an indecipherable string of Hebrew which ended with the line, "If you want to live to be 100, when you get to 99 start living more carefully".

Every morning he eats a piece of gefiltefish for breakfast. He lives on saltines and red wine. For special parties he keeps a collection of ballgowns. Last week he got "a nice velvet off-the-shoulder number".

So this week I will dedicate my journal to a man who ought to be an American hero: Hank Herschberg.
