User:Michael Voytinsky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Voytinsky is a very depressed Russian immigrant to Canada. He drinks too much and thinks (both incoherently and incorrectly) that he is funny. He is known as Misha to his friends. Everyone else can call him Michael (preferred) or Mike. "Mishinka" is right out (unless you want to get into a WikiWar with him).
Misha's incoherent rambling and writing tends to be spawned by his excessive intake of alcohol. While the writer of this entry was, once, himself quite the drinker with a large personal bar full of all sorts of obscure hard liquors, he is in awe of Misha's collection which includes beverages made from substances the author could swear are not fermentable.
Misha is a major activist for Canada's New Democratic Party. When he is not in an alcoholic haze (and often even when he is), he can be found canvassing for Svend Robinson, his favourite Member of Parliament.
As a student of philosophy, Misha's scholastic goal is to reconcile the major differences that exist between the near-nihilism of Camus and Sartre, the mysticism of Kierkegaard, the logical positivism of Karl Popper and Wittgenstein and the prescriptive ethics of Kant into a grand, unified philisophical edifice which will explain all that is knowable. Sadly, however, he has no idea how to accomplish this aim and instead spends his time drinking and writing his drunken ramblings down as "essays" which he passes off as scholarly work.
His best friend (and majority author of this entry) is Michael T. Richter. There has been no editorialising, nor have any inside jokes been used, in the creation of this entry.

[edit] Michael's Beard
Many people have asked about Michael's beard. What purpose does it serve? Does it provide him with super powers? Can he mousse it to resemble a duck? Did he steal his beard from Nietzsche?
The answers to these questions, are of course, none, yes, yes, and yes.
There are theories that his copious beard is used to cover up his complete lack of chin.
