Teenage Mutant Ninja Phil
I may, no longer, be a teenager and some might argue that I might not technically be a ninja but I am proud to inform the world that I am, officially, a mutant!
After several blood tests shooting their way accross the world Professor Wright has been able to confirm that I have a 'genetic change within the PAX2 gene (a heterozygous 569ins GA change in exond 5)' to be exact... pretty much what I'd guessed really.
Of course, it's very common, there are at least another 5 or 6 known cases in the world so one in every 1,000,000,000 has already been diagnosed with it and we could have a thriving online community although I don't think any of the other people diagnosed speak English but I could assume that only 1/10th of the people who have it have been diagnosed and that there are another 60 mutants crawling the sewers so really I'm as common as 1 in every 100,000,000! The other slight problem is that people with it have the nasty tendancy of dying during mid-teens or twenties. In fact, I could be the oldest living person with the condition, so not only am I a mutant I'm a Guiness World Record holder... it's official. I always thought that if I were to hold a Guiness World Record it'd be for some sort of athletic endeavour but I'm prepared to settle for this.
