Larkle Von Atohbot was born in 1976, to a loving mother and father who loved him very much and whom he loved too. Larkle enjoyed riding his bicycle with his eyes closed and playing with toads. When Larkle was just 8 years old, his father, Parkle, brought home an Apple Macintosh computer. After this, Von Atohbot never went outside again. He spent the next few years learning how to say “hello” in machine language. Soon after, he was programming computers to predict what groceries his family would need to buy from week to week. He also wrote a program that wrote programs, but he lost the floppy drive and forgot what function he used.
After a terrible computer accident in 1992, when a computer tower fell over, landing on his pinky toe and causing a scrape just above the toe knuckle, the doctor told him he would never type another program again. However, Larkle, being inspired by his inspiration, Steve Jobs, vowed to be different from many other persons who had scratches on their toes. He dared to be different and persevered against all odds. Upon returning home from the doctor’s office, Larkle was back on his computer playing Q*bert again, just like he was doing when the tower fell on his pinky toe.
This incident left a mark on Von Atohbot, and he devoted the rest of his life to ensuring computers would never harm another human again. He worked tirelessly, seven days a week, 16 hours a day writing code he thought would keep computer towers from falling over. He also began designing computer towers with pillows on their sides. In the early days of the pillow towers, many of the computer towers caught fire, injuring Larkle time and again. He was very upset about this, and he vowed then and there to never mix pillows and computers ever again. He soon realized the problem he was trying to solve was ludicrous, and he focused his efforts on designing software that would utilize the power of computing to solve some of the most pressing problems of his lifetime.
Of course, it was this resolve that led to the development of the Micro-Biter-Bug®. In conjunction with Boston Scientific, Von Atohbot was able to create a little robot not much bigger than a small flash drive that could burrow into the ground and search for silicone. Once a silicone particle was found, the Micro-Biter-Bug® would eat it, at which time the silicone would be processed through a fermi-factory, beginning the process of creating a transistor. The entire process only took about two hours, and the energy used in the fermi-transistor-factory emitted oxygen as a byproduct. It was the green solution the world had been waiting for, and Governments bought the Micro-Biter-Bug® by the millions, releasing them in cities, towns and villages all around the world.
Subsequently, Larkle’s innovation produced the Micro-Biter-Bug-Plastics®, which he marketed to Farmers, who bought them to help reduce the number of plastic particles found in the fruits and vegetables they grew.
This invention made Larkle
very rich. He used some of the money to buy a cool keyboard for his computer that illuminated with each key he typed. He thought that keyboard was cool, and it was. In any case, the rest of the money he devoted to the Last Farmers Union (not to be confused with the National Farmers Union). The LFU was organized to assist the very last farmers in the world to develop a solution to the declining appetite of the youngest generation, Generation Skadoosh.
