BIOGRAPHY :: PATRICK KIRK GILLOCK
Patrick Kirk (P.K.) Gillock was born (at a young age) to a husband and wife team of zoologists, researching monkeys (they have tails) in the rainforests of the Congo.
At the age of 2 months, a tragic "monkey incident” left PK parentless and alone.

After a few days, PK’s cries of hunger attracted a curious family of apes (they don’t have tails). Fortunately for PK the nomadic clan adopted the baby human and raised him as their own. "Apes are actually very good role models. Better than most humans." said PK, in a recent interview.
For two decades PK integrated himself into the ape clan and eventually became the beta male. "Because I was a foreigner I could never be alpha male." he explained.

When PK turned 21 (in ape years) his adopted mother, Nuk Nuk, gave him a notebook, filled with writings and drawings, and also an old 16mm movie camera. She explained, in howls and chest poundings, that they belonged to his “real” parents, who were killed by "the evil ones with tails.”

Anger and rage filled PK. He raised the camera and notebook into the air, threw some feces, and vowed, "I am going to be the best writer, artist, and filmmaker EVER!" He concluded by saying, "...And kill every creature with a tail."
12 ape years later deforestation has forced PK to relocate to Thailand, he can barely read or write, draws like a 3 year old, has only made a few home movies, and hasn’t killed anything with a tail. In fact he’s not doing much at all and finds animals with tails rather "cute and funny."
