Did you know?

(Of course you didn't. Why on earth would you?)
DC was born in The Bronx, but he has largely recovered.
‍
He went to Yale. Ditto.
‍
He was once nearly killed by a swarm of bees.
‍
At 13, DC was detained at the West/East Berlin border three weeks before the wall came down.
‍
He's broken the speed of sound, but, rather disappointingly, required an airplane to do it.
‍
He’s met a pope and a couple of cardinals, but they didn’t end up dating.
‍
To relax, he clarifies and browns butter. No, really.
‍
He is an inveterate paleonerd, and will fight anyone who thinks his Allosaurus tattoo is a T. rex (By “fight,” he means pawing at the air and going “rawr rawr.”)
‍
He was once twice his current size, and is currently on his third belly button.
