Je-sus, Peggy!

You should put as a dating profile: "Yes, I'm a direct descendant of Prometheus and I was weened on asbestos. My hobbies include fire-walking, not "coal" or "ember-walking," but fire-walking. Drinking gasoline with a nitro chaser. And hanging out at Barney's Beanery on the weekends, where I do three shows a day as the "Human Spatula."
