Top 5 Surprising Facts about Mitt Romney
Well, it looks like Romney’s gonna be the next Republican nominee, so we might as well learn about the guy. Last week, Romney got the ball rolling by telling us he’s half-Mexican. What are some other surprising facts about the ex-Massachusetts governor and current probably-the-next-president?

1. 80 percent of his body is covered with tattoos.
Ever wonder why you’ve never seen Mitt Romney without a shirt? Because almost everything under his suits is covered with tattoos. Mitt’s very private about his ink habit, so we don’t know for sure what he has under the hood, but here’s what’s been confirmed: the Led Zeppelin symbols; Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments; the names of his parents; a python wrapped around a motorcycle; and Charlton Heston in The Omega Man.

2. Has killed three people with his bare hands.
Oddly enough, Romney has a history of slaying people using only his fists. The first came during a charity hockey game in 1994, when during an on-ice scrum Romney punched an opposing player so hard that the guy fell and hit his head on the ice. That one was an accident, but the next one definitely was not. it was the summer of 1997 in Boston and Romney had to defend himself and a pregnant Mrs. Romney from mugger with a knife. The third came when Romney was running for president in 2008. Romney was so furious over losing the New Hampshire primary that, according to one witness, he held down the nearest staffer and “kept punchin' 'til he hit concrete.”

3. Dead twin.
Did you know Mitt's a twin? Well, was a twin. His brother, Jesse Rombert Romney, died immediately after birth. Jesse Rombert’s premature death has cast a shadow over Mitt, who's wondered why he survived and Jesse Rombert didn't. Interestingly, Mitt claims he communicates with his brother’s spirit daily. Jesse Rombert is one of Mitt's most-trusted political advisors and was responsible for most of Massachusett's universal healthcare bill.

4. Sheds a Romney-skin each winter.
Like all North American Romneys, Mitt’s scaly outer skin molts throughout the year and sloughs off each winter. Traditionally, all Romneys return to their ancestral breeding ground around the winter solstice and disappear into the mountains for up to ten days of shedding and spawning, before returning with a fresh outer protective layer and a belly full of Romney-young.

5. Tried a beer once.
Mitt Romney admits that when he was a “wayward Mormon teenager” he tried a sip of beer at a party. The experience was not pleasant. Mitt He flew murderous rage and savagely pummeled classmate Aaron Bengtson, a popular lacrosse player and Romney’s biggest high school rival. (Aaron barely survived, so I didn’t include him on #2; he now lives in an assisted living facility). This was also a formative experience in Romney’s life, as it re-committed him to his Mormon values, as well as foreshadowed his series of fatal punchings. Romney thinks the beer was a PBR.

		ARIES This month, when the 18-wheeler careens into your lane at 85 miles per hour and sucks your car under the trailer, instantly decapitating your husband and seven children, watch out for stress-eating because there will be tons of funeral food. Talk about carb city.				TAURUS Sometimes you have to accept that you can’t have everything go your way, and you must give up your own wants for the sake of the group. But you still have the power to resent them.
		GEMINI Your dream to become an astronaut will be challenged when it comes to light that Jim Lovell gambled on his own shuttle launches, and intentionally threw the Apollo 13 mission so he could collect on a huge bet.				CANCER If you were a Peanuts character, which one would you be? If you ask me, you’re a classic “Shermie”. Don’t remember him? That’s my point.
		LEO We can learn something new every month if we let ourselves. And this is the month you learn that, because they lack reason, animals cannot give consent.				VIRGO This month you will feel threatened, like the whole world is ganging up on you and putting you on trial for something you didn’t do. But to be fair, how else are we supposed to find out if you’re really a witch?
		LIBRA This month you will feel like you’re stuck in an endless cycle. You need to eat, so you work and work and work for your food, and then it starts all over again the next day. It’s understandable you feel this way, because you are Yogi Bear.				SCORPIO This month, take up a volunteer project. Spend time with the elderly—they could really use the company. When you’re having conversations with them, casually mention the fact that they are going to die soon. It makes it way easier on them if they’re not in denial about it.
		SAGITTARIUS It’s 2012. You’re a year older and a year wiser. Emphasis on “older”. I’m not saying you need to get a TON of work done, but I got a great neck guy if you want his number.				CAPRICORN This month will have you in an enterprising spirit as you will finally stop complaining about doctors and get those gallstones out yourself.
		AQUARIUS Just because you’re a pimp doesn’t mean you can’t be a good manager. That means: get your ho’s regular checkups for STI’s, use words before switchblades, and negotiate a group rate for crack.				PISCES 2012 will be the year you die.
