Info[edit]

Hi, this is Ben 10. I've been using Wikipedia for a couple of years now, but I still don't have much of a working knowledge about how to do everything. I usually have to request things like pictures in an article, so please be patient with me.

Here is some info about me:

  • I'm a guy.
  • I'm old enough to vote, drive, drink (though I never plan to), marry, enlist, and keep a secret. That's all you need to know.
  • I'm a Christian, and I love every minute of it.
  • I am dangerous with a whoopie cushion or virtually any other gag item.
  • My little brother is known to Wikipedia as Bass.exe.
  • I'm a cryptozoologist, and believe that Mokele-mbembe may have a connection with the Biblical Behemoth.
  • I am a Zoo Tycoon addict, especially of the expansion packs. I often plan downloads of my own, even though I never learned to use the A.P.E. and the original game is technically "outdated."
  • I prefer truth over being politically correct, and I generally call 'em as I see 'em. So sorry if I offend you, but facts are facts. The way I see it, there is no such thing as a closet Christian, and it's pretty much impossible to be openly Christian these days without offending someone.
  • I never swear if I can avoid it.
  • I support former President George W. Bush.
  • I am a dragon fanatic and, although I don't believe in astrology, I was born in the year of the Dragon on the Chinese zodiac. By the way, would someone please tell me how to ditch the link at the bottom that says I'm intersted in Chinese astrology? Because the truth is, I'm not.
  • I'm into comic strips, especially ones like Garfield or Calvin and Hobbes. I even drew a comic in my high school's newspaper based on the latter.
  • I tried to make an article for a book series I am working on about a dragon named Arredd, but no dice. I promise to knock it off until the books are official and a website exists. My apologies to anyone I gave a hard time. However, anyone curious can post questions on the talk page.

His friend, finished with the call, looked at the lock and observed, "Well no wonder. You're using the wrong combination." -Me

Quotes About Jesus[edit]

What other human comes close to His moral splendor? (Perfection, humility, love, etc.) The sages and heroes of history are receding from us, and history contracts the record of their deeds into a narrower and narrower page. But time has no power over the name and deeds and words of Jesus Christ. -William Channing

As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of morals and His religion, as He left them to us, is the best the world ever saw, or is liekly to see. -Benjamin Franklin

Thou hast conquered, O Galilean! -Last words of Julian the Apostate

All His glory and beauty come from within, and there He delights to dwell, His visits there are frequent, His conversation sweet, His comforts refreshing, and His peace passing all understanding. -Thomas A. Kempis

Me on Other Websites[edit]

I am a writer/story critic on Balto Source, where I go by the name Dragon Tamer. Here is my fanfiction gallery and my Image gallery (always good for a laugh!). Have a look. :) I am also a member of Balto's Treasure and Shadows of Dawn, and a mod on Balto Forum.

I am also registered on fanfiction.net, where I have posted some works of moderate popularity. I go by "Omnitrix 12," owing to the fact that "Dragon Tamer" and Ben 10" were already taken. I intend to do some work on fanfiction there for the American Dragon series and the Disney section, with a possible venture into Ben 10 later (maybe even a crossover with Animorphs). I also go by "Omnitrix12" on YouTube, where I would like to post episodes of The Adventures of McGee and Me, unless of course somebody beats me to it.

On Devian Art, I go by DragonTamer2000.

Articles created[edit]

Except for the Wikiquote articles these are not in chronological order. I have recently begun attaching dates to them for reference, but it will take a while.

Disney Section[edit]

Articles marked with a * were illustrated, renamed, and/or wikified by my friend Blue Phoenix. Technically he's an illustrator/editor, but I consider him a co-author. You decide.
