  Remember those "ancestor" projects we had to do in middle school and stuff? Yeah, well my ancestor was this medieval alchemist who dabbled in the reanimation of flesh (he is mentioned in Frankenstein ). That is all nice and good, but he had "von" before his last name. I want one too. Apparently it was used by royalty, but now everyone uses it. All I know is that adding a "von" to my last name would be fucking spiffy. I could go around and tell everyone that I am a baron and hold land in Germany. I also have to wear contacts, but only my left eye is really bad, so I could get a monocle. Baron von Nettesheim. You wish you had such a cool name.
