Who am I...?
Ian MacInnes was born in the waning years of the nineteenth century, during a storm at sea off the coast of New Guinea. Cast on shore following the shipwreck of his parents' aging junk, he was found by a family of cassowaries and raised as one of their own chicks. When he was six, he narrowly escaped being slaughtered and roasted with the rest of his adoptive family as part of a local tribal celebration. He wandered through the jungle, subsisting on nothing but dew drops and tree bark until he was found by a kindly Dutch coffee planter, who chained him in the fields for seven years of slave labor. During this time he quickly rose to the position of foreman through a combination of intelligence and a deft trick of shelling coffee beans with his toes. When the coffee plantation was burned to the ground by pirates, he followed them to their vessel and joined them on their journey of pillage and plunder. His course eventually to This will be his twelfth year of teaching at Albion College. He is presently at work on a study of Renaissance veterinary medicine and another on the virtue of telling tall tales.
