It clearly runs in the family

Is there anyone named "Cage" who isn't a hack?


I can't think of any off the top of my head. You'll provide numerous examples, I trust?


Yes, I will. The following people all have the surname "Cage" and are hacks:

  • Michael Cage – Hack basketball player whose NBA career saw a whopping 7.3 points per game scoring average. (In all fairness, he did lead the league in rebounds once, in 1988. Easily the best accomplishment on this list.)
  • Christian Cage – (Real name is Jason Reso...he choose the name "Cage" because he was a hack) Hack pro wrestler who has basically failed out of every wrestling organization he's ever been in.
  • John Cage – Hack musician whose most famous work (and I am Not Making This Up) is 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. He also wrote another piece called "As Slow As Possible, or ASLSP for short, which is currently being performed in Halberstadt, Germany. The performance started in 2001 and is scheduled for a duration of 639 years. The next time a note will change is July 5, 2010.
  • Johnny Cage – Hack video game character in the Mortal Kombat series. You know you're a hack fighter when your signature move is Punching Your Opponent In The Groin.
  • Nicolas Cage – Hack actor who has successfully sleepwalked his way through another film, scheduled for release this week to much fanfare and lukewarm (at best) reviews.
