[edit] Biography
Alan Belk was born in Derby on March 27, 1947, right at the start of the baby boom. He was educated at Bristol Grammar School from 1958 to 1965, failing to become fluent in any language other than English. In October of 1976, he emigrated to Canada searching for the Canadian Dream. He has had as many wives as he has children, namely, two. As a philosopher of science, part of his research is directed towards discovering if paronomasia, from which he has been a lifelong sufferer, is an inherited condition. He currently resides in Guelph, Ontario.
