Chester was spawned beneath Washington D.C., on January 25, 1966, to commemorate the ten year anniversary of Elvis Presley's first number one single Heartbreak Hotel. His father, Dr. John "Mind-Bender" Culver (Cobra Lieutenant, Musician, and Fast Food Heir) scoured the Earth to find the genetic material to create the perfect son (see Culver's DNA). After leaving Cobra, John Culver went on to be Emperor of Iowa from 1976-1986 and would certainly be Chet's inspiration for later entering into politics. Chester shares a birthday with such famous individuals as Virgina Woolf, William Colgate, and Robert Burn. Mr. Culver also appears to have an unhealthy obsession with the date.
