Yeah yeah, tell it to the tabloids, buddhy!  Everyone knows very well that
the obese one was born in Lard, California, during the festival of flowers.

It's also known that that particular year was the *only* unsuccessful
festival in the 200+ year old event's history.  Historians are, to this
day, baffled as to why this is.
