₪ While it's easy to be fearless if you can't die, there are some things that wig Mort out. Bugs are on the top of that list, especially black'n yellow stingers. When he was six, a wasp flew into Mort's mouth and stung him several times. His throat swelled up and it was all very touch and go. Since then, Mort's tendency to love all living things doesn't extend to creepy crawlies. It's why he could never win Fear Factor. ₪ It's easy to figure out if Mort has read a book or not: he tends to jot down little notes and drawings throughout the blank spaces on the pages. He does this to the books he borrows too, so beware! ₪ Every once a while, Mort runs out of energy and spends a few days in bed. All he does is sleep and eat, generally, and he tolerates very little company. ₪ Mort does not seem to age.
