What!?! How dare you! As I now will prove, this has been the most 
offensive comment I've ever read in my whole life story!!!

Go ahead, I'd say! :-P

Do you have more tell, then? 
I bet you don't! :-)

Well, here goes, "My life and times", in chunks of about 1KB each.

MY BIRTH

On a nice summer day in 1973, with a remarkably bright star rising up 
in the otherwise dark sky, a lovely intelligent baby boy was born.
And only a few hours later, church bells were chiming all over the 
world, to mark this day. August 5. (Note that the Dutch publisher had 
not yet published all 52 Donald Duck Weeklies of 1973, at that moment. 
Just to keep at least a bit on-topic.) And the boy was given the name 
Daniël, because it was believed Esther would have been more a name for 
a girl.

Which Barks story? :-)
