benedict shaprieroe got his name after sucking the ink out of 129 sharpie markers in a row. This feat took him little under 19 hours of nonstop sucking. His parents were so impressed by his skill that they decided to return to the hospital and tell the name rater to change their son's name. Since the extended five minute rule was still in place, they were able to do this. Benedict's family was so impressed and proud that they proceeded to brag about their son's skill to anyone who would listen. Eventually the whole town knew about his unbelievable skill. People came from all over the county to see the boy who could suck on 129 sharpie markers in a row and survive to do it again. Eventually, benedict's career would hit a dead end though. On the 21st of September, of 2002, Benedict would face his greatest challenge: Sucking the ink out of 130 sharpie markers in a row. This was a very significant progression in his life as he had always stuck with 129, since that was what he was used to. Since he had so much success with that number, what need did he have to move forward. But alas, maybe it was the weather that day, or perhaps he just felt particularly adventurous. Either way, he had made his choice. Everything went just as usual. The first 100 or so went down with ease. As soon as he reached the 128th marker though, he could feel something different in his stomach. He could tell something was wrong, but since nothing bad had ever happened before, he decide to continue. After 10 minutes, the penultimate marker was sucked down and the final one remained sitting in front of him. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster as he reached for the last marker, and as the marker's tip reached his blackened lips, he could feel death approaching. The last thing he saw before blacking out was the final marker falling to the ground , unsucked.
Benedict sharpieroe awoke in the hopsital 2 weeks later, luckily his life still in tact, but unfortunately, his soul would forever remain shattered. Since that day, Benedict would change his name to a more familiar Ben Shapiro, and switch careers from sharpie sucking to politics. However, every so often, Ben will still go into the sharpie store and buy a pack of 129 black sharpies, and what happens after remains unknown.
