Luis Leal of the Chicano/Chicana Studies department here at UCSB recently turned 100 years old. In addition,  he has taught in the UC system for over fifty years and is a veteran of World War II

In an odd coincidence, this very respectable man bears a resemblance to former "centurion" and megalomanical, nuclear-power baron C. Montgomery Burns. Burns also fought in WWII under the "Flying Hellfish" battalion, and is now estimated to be 126 years old.

"A hundred years, cause for celebration," Mr. Burns scoffed after hearing the news, "Ha! Get to my age, with my health, and then I might buy you a coke! Flimsham, and foo-faraw!"
