Freddie Mercury was the first closeted gay man to attain Rock God status. Many were shocked when he came out near the end of his life, since it was generally agreed a woman could get pregnant just being in the same room as his mustache.
"Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara on the island of Zanzibar, known more for once being the world's leading producer of cloves (here's looking at you, hippies) than for pretty much anything else. Also, it was the first place in Africa to have a color TV. In other news, there's not a whole lot of interesting things about Zanzibar."
"Ethnically, Freddie Mercury was Parsi, which means holy-shit-he's-technically-Asian. Which also makes him the coolest Asian in the Western world since Bruce Lee."
"Freddie Mercury died of AIDS only hours after even admitting he had the disease, likely because that's the amount of time he needed to think of a cause of death other than "implosion due to awesomeness."
It was likely the only time Freddie was compared to a virgin, and the first of many times he'd be compared to fairies. Sonic ass-kicking fairies, that is.
I think that did it for me. Nearly pissed myself.

I love that line!! You know, it kind of reminds me of 'How I Met Your Mother.' :D
