i'm sure by now everyone has heard the story of the austrian guy who locked his daughter in a dungeon-like basement for 24 years and fathered six children with her...thus eliminating himself from contention in the world's best grandpa and world's best dad competition in one fell swoop. he locked her down there when she was eighteen. "i guess i'm an adult now. guess i'll go try my hand at life." "well, it's going to be tough when you're living in the basement, sweetie." and the next twenty-four years spent underground. just know if your twenties or thirties aren't going that well, it could be worse. the weirdest thing about the story is that the mother claimed she knew nothing of the whole ordeal. she thought the girl had run off and joined a cult. even though every couple of years gramps would bring one of the little scamps up to live with them. nothing? that raised no curiosity? "you found another child?! you find more kids than anyone i've ever met." no one's that naive. maybe he's just the best liar that's ever lived. "why do you keep going down to the basement?! what on earth is so important down there? and why do you have so many groceries?" "mind your god damn business. i like food!" in her defense, who sees a fella with some extra groceries and jumps to that conclusion? "what are the extra tomatoes for? are you keeping our only daughter locked in the basement and fathering children with her while i'm not looking? answer me! if you think i'm o.k. with that, you are mistaken, mister!"
