I spy with my little eye

Frankenstein, Victor: late 18th century biologist and physiologist who discovered the reanimation technique later improved, if not quite perfected, by Dr. Herbert West. Frankenstein's research was described by Mary Shelley in a lengthy report that was edited and heavily sensationalized by her husband Percy Shelley. Soberer researchers recognize that the so-called 'monster' was merely a somewhat less that averagely attractive construct, and, rather than being chased to the North Pole by Frankenstein, he merely took a job serving beer at a local inn under the name Bergdorf. Bergdorf's later development of the famous beer called Heart of the West has been erroneously attributed to everyone from Finn MacCool to Merlin Ambrosius Aurelianus. Drinkers supposing that such an amazing beverage must have been the product of magic, and therefore ancient. The present brewers of the beer have not troubled themselves to contradict the legend, and in fact have gone so far as to argue that Bergdorf's discovery was, in fact, the result of his own researches into the beer-making techniques of the ancient Gauls. Less impressionable writers suggest he was inspired by his creators methods, and claim that powerful electric currents passed through the brew are the source of the distinctive flavor of the Heart of the West.
