Flyingtart doesn't have any shoes, because her husband insists she remain barefoot and pregnant.

Nymtoc has been studied by the Pentagon to see if they can use his foot-smell as a WMD.

But the Pentagon forgot about Nymtoc when they realized that one milligram of DJ's rainbow-colored stuff is enough to kill thousands.

Captain Ryan got his title because he was the captain of his hopscotch team in kindergarten. It's the only title he has ever had, and he is very proud of it.

After completing a degree in the Sorbonne, Nymtoc was recruited by the Canadian Intelligence agency. During this time Nymtoc infiltrated a Scottish folkband, and eventually was sent into exile after outing the American Secretary of Defense in a gay rally in the Vatican City.

Drachen Jager (if that is his real name) was once mistaken for Britney Spears and spent a week filming a music video, in a leotard. He said it was the best time of his life, despite the talcum powder.

In a tragic twist of fate, Fruitbat's dentures were mixed up with Dracula's during a vital dental visit. After a mis-bitten apple incident, Fruitbat is now one of the living dead.
