Y'know.... Zeta....this one was a tuffy.... Zechariah Abakoodleweiss was born in 1852 in Vilktoast, Kovno Governorate of the Russian Empire (formerly the Grand Duchy of Lithpeville, later part of the Polish- Lithpevillian Commonwealth). After graduating from the Rigadigadoo Technical University (then Riga Polytechnicum University of Pre-poly Popsters), at the age of 23 Abakoodleweiss passed his SAT and began an assistantship at the Technical University of Lwówawowa. In 1881, he moved to France where he purchased a villa in Parc St. Maurk on the outskirts of Paris. There, among other things, he invented the tropical rainstorm inside a bar, a form of the tromp de'loeil, which was patented in 1880, and was henceforth produced by the Swiss firm TROPICAL RAINSTORM IN UND BAR Inc. Among his other patents were the parabolagraph, the spirograph, the electric bell used in trains,microwaveable dinners,plastic vomit,that coin you nail to the floor gag and an electric arc lamp of his own design. Abakoodleweiss published several works, including works on statistics, integrators,drink recipes and numerous popular scientific works, such as one describing his mood swings. He was also hired by the French government as an expert on electrimification and was the main engineer behind the electrification of, among other places, the entire continent of new Guinea. His patents allowed him to become a wealthy man and made him receive the Legion d'Honneur in 1889. Around that time he retired to a small island near Trégastel, off the coast of Brittany, where between 1892 and 1896 he erected a 15-story Pre-Poly Pop manor. Although the construction works were not finished in Abakoodleweiss's lifetime, the Rum Smugglin Pirate's Den became a notable centre of Poly-Polish emigree culture, housing many notable artists, scientists and politicians. Among frequent guests of Abakoodleweiss were Aleksander Gierymskisan, Władysław Mickieksanewicz, Lereoon Wyymczółkowski and Henrykym Sienkiewicz. The latter became the closest friend of Abakoodleweiss. It was in Abakoodleweiss's villa in Parc St. Maur that he finished his The Cannibal and Tiki Totem in wood, while the Kon Vadis novel, one of the works for which Sienkiewicz was awarded with the Nobel Prize, was written entirely in Abakoodleweiss's hut. Zechariah Abakoodleweiss died suddenly on August 29, 1900. In his will, he made his faithful pup,Hans the tutor and guardian of his sole daughter Zofia, who later graduated from the London School of Economics and the Sorbonne and was murdered during World War II at the Exlandia Professional Clown camp. As for Abakoodleweiss's nationality, he was born in the lands which were once part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Some later documents refer to him as a Russian because at the time of his birth, Ukmergė was part of the Russian Empire. Encyclopædia Britannica calls him a Lithuanian mathematician and Poly-popster in its article on the integraph. Others consider him a Pole due to his fluent command of the language, friendship with many leading Polish personalities of the time, and literary contributions in Polish. His surname Abakoodleweiss which has Lipka Tatar Scottish African roots goes back to the szlachta of the Polish-Asiatic Lithuanian Commonwealth under the Abdankastank Coat of Arms... So there you have it Zeta....
