- mikeophile, on 01/22/2009, -0/+21The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon... luge lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Wilma ritualistically shaved my testicles — there really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's breathtaking... I suggest you try it.

- KarlH, on 01/22/2009, -0/+16"My youth was spent hitchhiking and cutting the testicles off bulls."
Hey, if a bull is kind enough to let you hitch a ride, you leave its balls alone. It's just common courtesy. - xxxkrogoth, on 01/22/2009, -0/+11Pretty typical Billionaire behaviour
- CamperBob, on 01/22/2009, -1/+9Like all the men of Babylon, I have been proconsul; like all, I have been a slave. I have known omnipotence, ignominy, imprisonment. Look here-- my right hand has no index finger. Look here--through this gash in my cape you can see on my stomach a crimson tattoo--it is the second letter, Beth. On nights when the moon is full, this symbol gives me power over men with the mark of Gimel, but it subjects me to those with the Aleph, who on nights when there is no moon owe obedience to those marked with the Gimel.
In the half-light of dawn, in a cellar, standing before a black altar, I have slit the throats of sacred bulls. In a chamber of brass, as I faced the strangler's silent scarf, hope did not abandon me; in the river of delights, panic has not failed me.
Heraclides Ponticus reports, admiringly, that Pythagoras recalled having been Pyrrhus, and before that, Euphorbus, and before that, some other mortal; in order to recall similar vicissitudes, I have no need of death, nor even of imposture. - vidaliasweet, on 01/22/2009, -0/+8I guess when you are a Billionaire nobody tells you that you are way more annoying and way less clever than you think.
- lukedemi, on 01/22/2009, -0/+7Inside a snake.
- Enkairi, on 01/22/2009, -1/+5Eating the beating heart of a snake...dudes trying to be like Bear Grylls
- BorsKaegel, on 01/21/2009, -1/+5He is like the white version of Mola Ram from Temple of Doom!
- Julie188, on 01/21/2009, -1/+4Ah, the old, "Honey? I just ate the last still-beating snake heart -- have we got any chips?" How many times have we heard that one!
- webyatri, on 01/22/2009, -0/+3ah these founders of companies. They think they are the new gladiators.
I worked for a startup whose founder was a 130 pound weakling and we had to listen to him talking about his boxing prowess.crap just pay my salary and let me work.
We really give too much importance to making money.
And our culture does encourage loudmouths and arrogant pricks to be at the top.
Given a guy who just does his work well and goes home quietly and a guy who does his work and beats the drum and shouts about it, you can guess who is getting ahead. - PWNE, on 01/22/2009, -0/+3In a snake.
- trevordj, on 01/22/2009, -0/+3I thought this was an Onion article after reading the description.
- fyngyrz, on 01/22/2009, -0/+3I found the summary paragraph to be more than enough to mark the author as not interesting at all, only another fool of the worst Hollywood variety. If nothing else, "I am a Shaman" actually indicates "I am a moron."
I *was* curious what the reaction here would be, though... and now that I've seen it... off to find something else. - fhernand, on 01/22/2009, -0/+3yes, inside a snake..
- inactive, on 01/22/2009, -0/+3Just found that - Lottery of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges.
I really need to read more books. - absameen, on 01/22/2009, -0/+2Poor choice of words on my part,
I should've said: "You [might] have to believe that you are your own god [or] that you could control your own destiny." - techdever, on 01/22/2009, -0/+2Huge grubs anyone? om nom nom

- inactive, on 01/23/2009, -0/+1so thats what his name is! now my life is complete.
- absameen, on 01/22/2009, -0/+1I completely agree, maybe you didn't read my whole comment?
"While you can practice this philosophy without the idea of a god... This definitely works for some people"
Why not use an already established philosophy though? Especially if it is part of your culture. - vidaliasweet, on 01/22/2009, -1/+2That article was such a waste of time but you just redeemed it. Very shagadelic baby!
- mmittimm, on 01/22/2009, -0/+1He clearly has more sense than Bear Grylls though.

- BriSoFli, on 01/22/2009, -0/+1Certainly there are unconsidered solutions other than believing in God or believing you are God that would yield the benefits you cite as byproducts of believing in God.
- nydwarf, on 01/23/2009, -0/+1Insane

- sdor, on 01/22/2009, -0/+1Ditto webyatri above. Who gives a crap what this guy did and how he got there? You haven't reinvented the wheel, you didn't win a nobel prize... just shut the #$@! up. I guess he'll be writing a book entitled "Why I'm so awesome."

- mikelieman, on 01/22/2009, -1/+1I dunno... Netapp has this issue where Sun is suing them... They might not have any assets after that litigation is done.
- xenosteel, on 01/22/2009, -1/+1Bull testicles are only the beginning.
- BobLoblawBlog, on 01/23/2009, -0/+0"If someone gave you a dull pocket knife, pointed out a five hundred pound bull calf, and said 'jump that fence and cut off his [testicles],' would you do it?" Hitz writes.
Is that a rhetorical question? OF COURSE!!! - hitz, on 02/04/2009, -0/+0Thank you for introducing me to this story. I love it, even if I am an idiot!
