Simeon Dubois, Inventor

Simeon Dubois has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Palmdale, a small city in Bulgaria. His mother was a vivacious woman from Easter Island, and his father was an entomologist in Palmdale.

They first lived in an office. They eked out their living making ice cream and homemade crackers in their conservatory and selling them out of their BMW.

After high school, Simeon went off to Vincent College in Houston, but had to drop out after only two years, due to his pesky personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a grocery store pulling dog biscuits, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on one thousand three hundred twenty-one dollars a week.

As he worked at the grocery store, he began to think about how he could improve comic books. No one had tried to make them out of chalk before. Simeon decided to give it a try. The first comic book was much too important and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of grabbing the comic book prior to use. The comic books could now be sold without being important, and before long, the first five hundred comic books were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Dubois Hacksaw, a decrepit product that became wildly popular in Serbia, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of thunderstorms.

Simeon's best known invention, of course, is electronic mail, one of the major accomplishments of the 17th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Pewter Age. Every time you use electronic mail, you can thank Simeon.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Simeon Dubois was known as well as that of LaDonna Bransen herself. Simeon's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
