You ask, "did you know that there are several projects meant to combine various lineages of superheroes and fictional characters and pulp heroes into one family?"
You say, "allegedly spock is related to sherlock holmes through his terran mother"
raddidge says, "As it should be."
raddidge says, "That's okay because Sherlock Holmes can trace his lineage back to King David."
You say, "Really now"
You say, "I never heard that"
You ask, "Cite?"
You say, "You have piqued my interest."
raddidge says, "It's common sense."
raddidge says, "And common knowledge, of course."
You say, "Not my common knowledge and I demand that you edify me"
raddidge says, "Here is Sherlock Holmes' ancestral line: King David -begot-> King James -begot-> Saint Malachi -begot (in an immaculate manner, of course)-> Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart -begot-> Sherlock Holmes."
raddidge says, "And there you have it."
raddidge says, "Isn't it obvious?"
You say, "I am confused and unable to ascertain how most of those figures were able to achieve methuselean ages and still retain their fecundity"
raddidge says, "That's just the way great men are. How else would Sherlock Holmes get to be Sherlock Holmes?"
You ask, "Who was their mother?"
raddidge says, "Mothers???"
raddidge says, "Why would they need mothers? In Wolfgang's case, he needed no mother. It was an immaculate conception, as stated above."
You ask, "Didn't they have navels?"
raddidge says, "Certainly not."
You ask, "So they were YY?"
raddidge says, "Indeed."

Gentle reader,
Understand that this year I'm not particularly excited about my birthday or Christmas. I can not think of anything that I really want for myself. This is a blessing because it means that there isn't much that I want or need in my life. It's a curse because of the social pressure.
Either way, I'll think of something no matter how lame. Plus I need to avoid procrastinating this year. Also I need to know what maribou wants for Christmas, what my parents want for Christmas, what my sister wants for Christmas (she was remarkably and frustratingly vague).
At the moment I know what I'm getting raddidge, Brian and Jaybird.
