The ghost-in-the-shell was invented in the ominous year of 1666 by a Romanian conjurer known as Sir Drake the Mischievous. Drake was infamous among the superstitious peoples of Eastern Europe for being the most twisted sorcerer this side of the Vistula. He was inspired to craft the first ghost-in-the-shell as a child, after he was pranked by a villager with a primitive "can of worms". This incident was a landmark event in young Drake's life, for although he excelled at scaring others, he was quite a crybaby himself; like the proverbial glass cannon designed by Leonardo da Vinci. In other words, he was so scared by the prank that he wet himself cried out for his mothr and wept like a baby.
