Chris Naquin

Man?  Myth?  Hero.

Chris was forced to close his eyes, due to the gleam disrupting the camera

On March 15, 1984, the angels erupted into song, for in Herndon, VA, a child was born.  Maureen Naquin became the second most famous mother in history when little Chris, a 8 pound 6 ounce bundle of perfection was delivered.  Coincidentally, the effects of his birth were felt throughout the world, as a stalemate concerning the adoption of the Tanzanian Constitution was broken due to the sudden euphoria felt by every being on earth.  This child would go on to become one of the greatest members of any society since the invention of history (which was once credited to Naquin.  This idea was quickly squashed when researches discovered history dating thousands of years before his birth).

Naquin did many amazing and glorious things throughout his life, some of which are outlined below...

At the age of 6, Naquin discovered the theory of relativity all on his own.  Mistaken for a "brown cow standing in a field", his mother threw the piece of paper away, all but erasing the memory of Naquin being a child genius.

In the 3rd grade, Naquin wrote a paper on a dog he had as a small boy.  His teacher, Susan Miran submitted it to the Pulitzer Association.  It won the award, and his work is now compared to the likes of "Great Expectations", "The Scarlet Letter" and "The Hardy Boys" series.  Susan Miran went on to become a best selling novelist, basing her books on Naquin's little puppy.

On the day of his birth, Naquin's mother was visited by God, NASCAR great Richard Petty and A.C. Slater from Saved By The Bell.  A fight broke out concerning who would be the first to kiss young Chris, with Petty easily defeating God with a leg sweep.

When he was 14, Naquin was offered the Nobel Prize for Physics, having broken the sound barrier using only brute strength and a soap box derby car.  He refused the award, citing that he "simply got lucky".

At 16, Naquin's parents refused to buy him his dream car, a 1967 ruby red Firebird, so he took matters into his own hands.  Funded by a loan from his local bank, Naquin bought 2500 shares of stock in Pfizer, Inc, the makers of Viagra.  The stock boomed shortly thereafter, and Naquin was able to buy a ruby red jumbo jet instead, and still, to this day, refuses to let his parents ride it.

After receiving a hair cut in July of 2001, his barber was seen wearing pieces of Naquin's hair duct taped to his own bald head.  That same day, the barber won the Mega Millions lottery, was proposed to by the Queen of England and saved an elderly couple from a fiery bus accident.  Naquin was quoted as saying "I didn't even know he was bald".

In 1998, Chris was offered his own reality TV show, tentatively titled "Chris Naquin Rocks", but the show never made it off the ground due to Naquin breaking every camera lens with his crazy good looks.  He later offered another explanation, citing the cameras were actually broken by mind bullets.  The story is yet to be resolved.

As a senior at Herndon High School, Naquin reportedly scored 487 goals in 15 games (a state record).  Not wanting to steal the limelight from his teammates, Chris broke into every building in the state that held evidence of his feat.  Armed with only white out and a black sharpie, he changed 487 to 16, thus erasing virtually all memory of his record-setting season.  The story was broken by a reporter who broke into Naquin's JMU residence, and heard the legend freestyle rapping in his sleep about his senior year in high school.

Naquin did manage a short acting career, appearing on 5 episodes of Zena: Warrior Princess in its 5th season.  His characters name was Mandu, the Half-Breed.  He was removed from the show after the 5th episode.  ABC blamed the FCC for the unfortunate incident, due to an overload of viewers.  Below is an episode guide...

 

Episode Title Episode Description
"A Sticky Situation" Zena happens across a seemingly defenseless young man in the woods stuck in a tar pit.  The man, who turned out to be Mandu, the Half-Breed, was simply bathing in the sticky black liquid.  Embarrassed Zena thought he was in danger, Mandu proceeded to breathe on the tar, melting it and doing laps in the boiling liquid.  Zena then joined him for a swim.
"Strange Sensations" Zena and Mandu happen upon a magic wand in the badlands.  The wand is discovered to give the bearer unlimited powers.  Mandu, knocking Zena over with a flick of his wrist, examines the wand to discover it is no more then the pencil he used to write his Pulitzer winning story.  The pencil absorbed Mandu (Naquins) magical powers, and was revered by all cultures.
"A heart turns cold" Mandu, with his newfound wand, imprisons Hercules and Zena in the core of the earth, tying them up with strands of his golden hair.  He then covers the earth's core with his cloak, burying the earth in a frost.
"Boy, he's quick" Bored, Mandu decides to try and sprint around the equator in less then 15 minutes.  Making it in 7, he quickly discovers his feat has sped up the earth's revolutions and rotations.  Days are mere minutes and Years become days.  The problem is averted when he simple runs back the way he came, slowing down the earths revolutions.  He also did 300 push-ups in Madagascar, settling the Earth back into its normal orbit.
"A Man Removed" Mandu releases Zena and Hercules, as well as his cloak, and stabs himself in the heart with his pencil/wand.  Original scripts called for Mandu to be taken out by a meteor, but it was discovered he could not even be killed in fiction, and therefore had to take his own life.

 

Some Articles on "The Man"

Genes Unearthed

The article that lead to the prime meridian being moved from his birthplace to Greenwich, England.  Scholars previously believed he was the spawn of God and Venus.  The writer of this article never wrote again, due to shame.

 

"The Man" Graduates

The brains of several readers exploded after reading Naquin's quotes.  Apparently, the hemorrhaging began when trying to decipher whether Naquin, stating "It's all gone by so fast", was talking about his high school career or everything when he runs.
