Born in Manucpachua in the Gamache Mountains several years ago.
I am Jewish. My father, Sleeping Bull, was the proud chief of the Gamache Indians, who are especially famous for their narrow trousers. My mother was an intellectual blonde, Lullubelle Marx Madsen, from the Danish city of Nørre Bjært.
I love to disagree with my friends, and if I had any enemies I would love to agree with them.
Professional career:
- Studied at the Institute of Inferiology at the MIT, Manucpachua Institute of Thrombosis.
- Philosophical adviser in Holywood. One of my most remarkable successes here, was when I was hired by Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty, to help them off with the problem being so terrible shy and awkward with the ladies. And the result? After teaching them some of my tricks, they got a well earned reputation as being the most murderous lady-killers in Holywood ever, after me of course.
- Very much inspired by my experiences in Hollywood and the Danish linguistic Louis Hjelmslev I went to my dear mothers beloved homeland, Denmark to research in semiotics, which is very much about the character and meaning of signs, at the University of Vorbasse Marine Harbour.
- Under further inspiration of Sassure, Marx (a close relative), Althusser, Baudrillard, Barthes, Brandt, Greimas and many others I made a thorough scientific study of the meaning of the signs sent by traffic signals. After many years of research I concluded that in most countries around the World it could be said with relatively high significance that the sign "red" would usually mean "stop", the sign "green" followingly "go" and "yellow" would equal something like "maybe".
I fulfilled this huge project in spite of the fact that I am suffering by an unusually serious case of colorblindness!
- Now professor in philosophy at the University of Christianshavn. Where I am lecturing on and researching in subjects like:
- "How to interpret the signs on the drinks card in a bar, also after 3 in the night"
- "How to interpret the signs sent by your wife, welcoming you in the door with a lifted cakeroll, when you come home from a field research early in the morning"
- "and the signs sent by her face, when you're supported by some friendly intellectual blondes after the hard field research"
- and related subjects.
Not being that young anymore these field research trips can be quite exhausting. But I have to carry them through in sake of true science!
PS: I am sometimes asked if I have been working as an actor in those wonderful films about operas, horse races and the like. No that's not me, but my grand cousin. But we're very very different, especially when taken into account the serious scientist I am!
