You won't believer your eyes

Dr. Raj, our Chief Science Officer and Forensic Audiologist:
Raj was abducted from his native Timbukistan home at the tender age of 23 by agents of BS Industries. He was soon dispatched to work in the fledgling nano technologies department. Dubbed Mere-Raj by his co-detainees, he soon became their defacto leader and arbiter in contract negotiations. In a dramatic moment captured on surveillance camera, Mere-Raj handwrote and displayed a sign declaring "Onion". Cowed by Norma Raj's audacity, BS management relented and began paying their detainees one onion per day in compensation. Emboldened by his successful negotiations, Norma Raj began demanding chives and garlic as well. The Board of BS Industries had no choice but to close the sweatshop and begin outsourcing... to Timbukistan. Now, members of Raj's family perform the same labor for half an onion per day.

Mere-Raj's removal from the nano technologies wing of BS Industries left him homeless and unemployed. He began singing on street corners for spare change and scalions. He then slid into the low point of his life, he became the Wedding Singer. He was finally rescued and given vocalist duties in the reformed Burnin' Sensations band. He accepted his new duties with the enthusiasm common to most Shanghaid recruits. It was either that or return to living in the alley behind Main Street. The onset of Winter guided Mere-Raj in his decision. He is no longer compensated in onions, as that put the microphone in peril, but he gets free heat while he is onstage with the band.
