![]() ![]() Isn't that quite a good piece of information? And you didn't want to believe that I had anything to say? You better trust me now. So, in fact, it was the Chicken Man, Marko Pilic, Mark Poultry, who discovered America. ![]() The Italians must have changed it later because their word for the Croatian Pilic is Polo, meaning chicken. So by birth his name was most likely not Polo but Pilic. Did you know that the Chicken Man discovered the new world? You didn't? Then it's time someone told you the truth: Marco Polo was born on the island Korcula. Let me quickly give you some valuable information then, to assure you that you will get something out of reading this. As a reader you have the perfect right to be informed about such things right from the outset. I concede: this is highly unprofessional. Neither have I disclosed who the Chicken Man is, in whose name I invoke you here, nor have I given you any clue as to what subject I intend to address. Until now I have failed to give you any information that would justify my claiming your attention. Yes, you're right, I have not done much so far to earn your trust. So I am making a noise, I am sending out signals, in print, in the vague and not little vain hope to summon someone who might care to read this - GONG! - Attention, please! Focus! I want someone to listen to what I have to say. Metaphorically speaking, that is: I am here to make a bold claim on your attention. You must know that part of what I do is bang a gong. Still, it feels like I've seen your face before. Having read the top of the page, I trust you to have guessed my name. If I were to tell you now that I have come here to speak to you in the name of the Chicken Man, would you believe me? I doubt it. ![]()
