MY NAME IS DIGIT
My name is DIGIT! While studying Nature Conservation at the Cape Technikon a friend gave me the nickname DIGIT. His name was Andre Klocke he had an uncanny ability to give very appropriate nicknames to people associated with their looks or behaviour. Mine was not because I'm good with numbers, or missing a finger. It because I looked like a gorilla from "gorillas in the mist". The silver back gorilla with the fused fingers was called DIGIT. The name has stuck with me ever since almost 20 years. If people call me by my real name I don't respond, everybody calls me DIGIT and I like it.

Aah..the telepathy of primates. Hey Digit, I would never have considered you an ordinary average guy in terms of athletic capability, but that's irrelevant. It's ironic that your 'if you apply your mind' cliche should appear to me now when I'm in the process of contemplating something that seems totally unattainable! Good luck with the KAEM. Aside from the physical acheivement, it's going to be some amazing countryside you'll be loping through. When does it all happen?
