Geoffrey Chaucer, the greatest poet of the Middle Ages, was the first recorded individual to use the word "girl," albeit it was spelled "gyrl" in Old English. In 1387, Chaucer used the term "gyrl" in the General Prologue to his renowned "The Canterbury Tales." He wrote that the purpose of his tale-telling was "to tell ye how one gentylwoman named Rosamund liked a yong man namo William Tell." Since then, the word "girl" has been used to describe young women of all races and classes. WordGirl was invented by Dr. Two Brains, who is a secret agent working for the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. His real name is Benjamin R. Goodman, and he lives at 1234 Evergreen Terrace in any small town you can imagine. He has a strong passion for science and wishes to use this passion to help people. He believes that if everyone could learn just one new thing every day like he does, we would have learned everything there is to know about science by now. The reason why he uses his secret identity to fight crime is because he wants to protect women from dangerous inventions like Robot Girl and Sunset Specter. Science has given us many wonderful things, but it also holds great danger for our world as well. That's why Dr. Two Brains fights against evil scientists who want to harm our world.
