I'm told that's not quite it either. Not a lot of people know it, but Figaro
is the name of the childhood pet cat of a certain Megan (though it's likely
she named it after the one from Pinocchio), who has a twin sister you may wish
to guess the name of, and an uncle who's somewhat famous around these parts.
