Other than my hopeless crush on Colibri? 
Only some of us have units.
You do realize I’m a fictional character, don’t you?
On a more serious note (as opposed to what I posted upthread) anyone actually employed by the Chicago Reader (as well as possibly contracted) would be subject to privacy and EO laws. In other words, generally speaking, one’s gender, political affiliation, religion, and nationality are really none of your business.
That’s what makes it so hopeless. 
Could be a match made in Heaven.

I’m bewildered as to why in the world any of this should matter to any of us?
Cecil is not a myth. Having now posted this, I have an outside bet going as to how long it will be before some oppositional-defiant-disorder person posts in here to take me to task for having “dared” to post such.
Those are not for me to answer.
Cecil does an enormous amount of research on his own. To get the full and complete answer for questions and to make sure that he covers his bases, he asks people to help him out sometimes by checking things or chasing down obscure technical papers and references. Ed Zotti for example is a fantastic researcher and excellent at chasing down flesh-and-blood sources. Cecil also asks people to do science experiments for him, which I and Fierra have been handling lately.
Sure, why not.
Because the Apostle Paul declined to respond to our e-mails.
I can’t understand why. God knows, he wrote to everybody else!
Yes, but which guy is the biggest!

Yeah, he won’t even tell us what the KL stands for!
KL stands for Krazy Lion.
Cecil has never purported to know everything. What he claims is the ability to answer any question. Some are easy, while others require more effort, but in the end, answer them he does.
No, it’s not. Read the FAQ.

It says explicitly that Cecil Adams knows everything. Cecil may not have written the statement, but if the staff claims it and is wrong, then there is a contradiction.
Cecil knew you would say that. That’s why the FAQ is written that way; to test you. Excelsior!
Una wrote: “Cecil is not a myth.” One cannot prove a negative. If he’s not a myth, then what is he?
I think Uncle Cecil does exist, just in the 8th dimension. As he finishes his daily column, he passes it onto our dimension to Ed, by a… well, some things are best left unsaid.
A Mr.
That’s Mythter.
Actually, you can prove a negative in the way in which I worded the sentence.
“One is not greater than two” is a negative statement. Yet it’s clearly provable.
As is “Cecil is not my cat.” It’s provable on its face.
Although Cecil has written quite a few fish-related columns, one on mouse-flavored cat food, and one on kosher cat food…hmm…
