Rigby was an inferior human being in many ways. Not only could he not whistle, but also he could not curl his tongue, roll his "Rs", or wink without partially closing is other eye. He was, in fact, talent less. He entered a talent show when he was a boy, juggling tennis balls in front of a crowd of his family and community. They applauded his performance, but not as loudly as they applauded the boy who rolled "Rs". From then on, Rigby only juggled in private away from the judging eyes of peers. He got very good, eventually juggling bowling pins and torches, but nobody knew about it. Not even his wife Deborah. But Deborah, or Debbie as she was called, had a few secrets of her own.

Debbie, for instance, had always been able to curl her tongue. She never told her husband because she didn't want to damage his already tender self-esteem. It was a good kind of secret. However, she also had the bad kind of secrets. Once, she painted the bathroom while her husband was at work without telling him. He didn't like it, so she told him that she didn't do it. Though he suspected that she had indeed done it, the truth remained a 'bad' secret. Oh, she was also the Hindenburg baby.

The myth that the Hindenburg baby was a male is merely a fabrication of the media. Debbie went missing at such a young age that her sex could not yet be determined. Pet owners often make a similar mistake when they name their pets in the first months of life.
