That’s wrong. He plagiarized it from a conversation he had with me in 2007 on MySpace. He sat on it for 2 years, then published it on his website in 2009.

It’s the reason he has a career to begin with. Had he not published the Egg, the Martian would never have taken off in 2011. The reason he resents it is because he’s embarrassed that he plagiarized it.
