About The Contributors

Mr. Strongly: An accomplished scientist, Mr. Strongly hails from the the Northern hills of Nebraska. He attended undergraduate school at Harvard university where he majored in Birdhousing and went on to earn 2 doctorates from Harvard in Theoretical Lobotomy and Horticultural studies. He is working on his 3rd and 4th doctorate from Yale in Whaling and Expecting. Although Mr. Strongly is a Dr., he goes by "Mr." because he believes that when the apocalypse arrives, the survivors (if there are any) will all be equals. Mr. Strongly also believes that he is a prime candidate for survival because of the extreme measures he's taken; he has invested in a $250 Billion survival shelter, located in the Earth's core. It is fully stocked with food, clothing, and collectible star wars figurines. The shelter can also transform into a submarine and a space ship for emergency evacuations. The wealth Mr. Strongly used to build Big Betty (the shelter's nickname) was acquired during his brief 3 year stint as a treasure hunter. Additionally,  Mr. Strongly was born without wisdom teeth and believes that he is an advanced life form capable of surviving many apocalyptic scenarios on sheer brain power alone. Mr. Strongly lives in Nome, AK with his wife, 3 kids, 1 dog, and 1 experimental cyborg bear cub. Mr. Strongly has not left his house in over 15 years due to a fear of Extreme Birdification.
