Sometime around 20:00, on the 7th of June, 1965, a momentous event took place. At least, it was a momentous event in the life of Chris Tann: it started. Some 10829 standard Earth days later, he became a field reporter for Project Galactic Guide.

During these 10829 days, Chris achieved many things. He (re)started the "Manic Depressive Society," invented two completely different versions of the game "Boomshanka," and washed approximately 6000 [1] socks [2]. He also spent quite some time as lead-singer of "Alistair in Wonderland."

He was described by The Scientologists as "A Compulsive Extrovert." They were most disappointed when, on replying to their offer of help, he was quoted as saying, "Hey man, what do I want help for, that's PERFECT!"

[1]	Note the use in this article of references to single socks, not pairs. It is in the authors opinion that socks are rarely in pairs, at least, not if they can avoid it.
[2]	This does not imply that he has poor personal hygiene habits; he just goes barefoot an awful lot.
