Mozart: Cooler Than Jesus?

First, God created cheesecake, and then He created Mozart.

Here are some little known facts:
The child prodigy grew up to be a towering 8 feet 4 inches.
He could lift seven pianos and three harps at the same time.
His middle name was Amade, the French for "a man with a giant p_n_s".
He could read minds and talk to smallish, brown rabbits (and only the rabbits of that description; black, tan, white, or speckled rabbits he could not see due to an eye disease).
Mozart was a man of many notes, and many words, he wrote brilliant poetry, including the famed elegy for his pet bird, whom Mozart mourned for exactly twenty-six months, two days, and one and three-quarters hours, when he decided to quit weeping, drink some wine, and screw his wife and two hundred six opera-singing girlfriends.
And now for a few TRUE facts, brought to you by the good people running the following website: http://home.comcast.net/~the.idea.orchard/Mozart_Interesting_Facts.htm

WHAT A LONG NAME!
Mozart's full name was really long. It was: Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophillus Amadeus Gottlieb Sigismundus Mozart. Theophillus, Amadeus, Gottlieb, and Sigismundus all meant the same thing, just in different languages. They mean "Beloved of God." His family called him Wolferl.

MUSIC BEFORE EDUCATION
Mozart could write music notes before he could write words.

WHAT A SMART GUY!
Mozart was very good at mathematics. he liked to scribble mathematical figures all over walls and table cloths. Also, Mozart was very good at languages, especially Italian.

BOY KNIGHT DISCOVERED
Mozart was a knight! He became a knight when he was presented with the Papal Order of the Golden spur as a boy. He was given the Papal Order of the Golden Spur by the pope of Rome, Clement XIV. Mozart was given this honor because he wrote a complicated piece down on paper after hearing it only once! This piece was called Miserere by Gregorio Allegri.

GAMES THEN MUSIC... GAMES THEN MUSIC...
Mozart played many games, but he was still able to write the music that was assigned to him. How did he do it? While waiting for his turn in the game, Mozart would scribble down a few music notes then take his turn. Lucky for him, music came very easily.

A COMPOSITION BORN EVERY DAY!
Mozart composed over 600 musical works. Most composers write a far smaller number of music than 600 works.
Mozart composed:
50 symphonies
25 piano concertos
12 violin concertos
27 concert arias
26 string quartets
103 minuets
15 masses
21 opera works
WOW!!!

SO COOL, HE'S IN A BAND.

"THAT BOY CAN NOT COMPOSE MUSIC!"
Many people did not believe that a little boy such as Mozart could compose such beautiful music. He was locked into a tower with only a pen, paper, and a bed. In a week someone checked up on him and was amazed at the piles and piles of music. There was no more doubt that Mozart had written the music everyone loved.

AND ONE MORE THING!
DON'T FORGET TO TREAT YOURSELF TO SOME MOZART BALLS, ALWAYS DELICIOUS AND CHOCOLATEY!
