That’s an interesting thing for you to say, considering how little you know about me. Now that you’ve done me the benefit of describing your past achievements, why don’t I tell you about mine? You know, since we’re in the mood for sharing?
In my universe I was responsible for ninety percent of all patents submitted in the past twelve years. I had more than 200 well respected biological theses in circulation, most of which I published between the ages of eleven to twenty-three. When I was six years old I pioneered a completely self-sufficient, computer-based immune system that has kept me from getting sick my entire life and brought me back to life on at least one occasion—a simplified version was used in most militaries of developed countries, by the way. Let’s see what else I did…I created a prototype, working interdimensional portal, designed the world’s first compact fusion reactor when I was five, discovered and named ten new elements on the periodic table, made efficient vaccines for forty previously incurable viruses (permanently exterminating fifteen of them)—oh, and have you seen that spaceship frame in the hangar? Yeah, I’ve been designing and building that for the past ten years, from scratch. In several months’ time I would be the first human being to travel outside the solar system. And you know what’s the real kicker? I’m twenty-eight.
So then, child. Do you think my ego is justified now that you know more about me?
