"Your topic is 'Brachyhypopomus pinnicaudatus'

  • "Your topic is 'Brachyhypopomus pinnicaudatus' and your time begins now."
  • Giorgos smiled, "It's all greek to me." Let's see Brachy is short, hypo means under, poma is cover. pinna is feather and caudatus is tail, so its a short undercover, feather tailed
  • ... manatee? Uh oh. The jig was up - the detective was on to us! "Quick, Giorgios! Hide in this trashcan!" I sought refuge in the closet. Sure enough, a moment later, our hideout
  • was stormed by the godfather's goons. I held my breath as one of the lunkheads tried to look through the crack in the closet. The second he turned around
  • I snapped open the closet door and surprised him by throwing a nasty blow onto his stomach before swinging a leg over the windowsill and hopping down onto the slick pavement below.
  • Which coincidentally happened to be under his stomach. I'd not hopped but surfed him down the building surface, leaping onto him as he, doubled over, fell outside.
  • I hung ten...floors, that is, riding him almost all the way down, while people on the sidewalk stopped, gawked, and then cheered for our amazing performance. I misjudged one detail
  • and suddenly the bike went out of control, flinging me from the side of the building onto the street. The admiring crowds started screaming instead. But I had this under control.
  • I had it under remote control. I pushed the "sleep" button and the entire crowd started yawning.
  • Unfortunately at that very moment, the No-doz factory next door exploded, showering all those yawning mouths with caffeine pills. My plan was foiled and The world was saved. Rats.
