Personal Factoids

 * Stephen has a 5th degree black belt in Judo and Kung-Fu.
 * The One True God outsourced the creation of Stephen's right ear to a lesser, America-hating Hindu god.

 * It has been proven that if you dislike Stephen Colbert you are a freedom-hating terroist lover.
 * Colbert is deaf in his right ear, as he has no ear drum in it. "I always wanted to be a marine biologist...but then I had this ear problem.  I have no ear drum. (Flicks his ear.)  So I had this operation at the Medical University when I was a kid.  Now I can't get my head wet. I mean, I can, but I can't really scuba dive or anything like that.  So that killed my marine biology hopes. He once joked to The New Yorker that "I had this weird tumor as a kid, and they scooped it out with a melon baller."
 * Stephen cannot be harmed by fire.
 * On March 16, 2006, Colbert featured a review from Orlando Sentinel columnist Commander Coconut in his "Who's Attacking Me Now?" segment. The review stated that Coconut was unable to pay attention to anything but Colbert's ears, as his right one sticks out slightly.  In a call to Coconut regarding the review, Colbert stated that the doctor also noticed it stuck out slightly when he pulled the tumor out.  Colbert continued his diatribe for several minutes to the apparent mortification of Coconut, though Coconut later revealed they had rehearsed the call several times.  After the replay of the phone conversation, however, Colbert stated that he had not in fact had a tumor in his ear.

 * Stephen Colbert can drink a gallon of milk in one hour without throwing up.
