LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE BELOW YOU.
We have evidence which claims that not only is Dan Barrett not human, he is in fact a genetically spawned hybrid between man and a pot of salsa.
Here are the points of evidence.
He wears a sombrero.
He incessantly quotes Robert Rodriguez.
He plays one of those weird fat guitar things, which look frankly ridiculous on any human. But is he human??
It is believed the sperm used to develop him came from Jasmine, the Unnecessarily Vicious Ape.
Look at him for God's sake!!
UPDATE.
In a strange moment of self-discovery, yet still hindered by the unnecessary polygenous nature of his personality, Dan, who also likes to call himself DEREK SOUL, said the following. This is in fact, a quote from the man himself. And if this doesn't further add to the evidence, then what the fuck will?
"DEREK SOUL is thinking of joining the circus as KING OF THE FREAK-MEN. Despite a relatively normal face, DEREK's body is covered from head to toe in FUR, like a MONKEY, HAHAHAHAHA. Despite this crippling disability, DEREK will continue his quest to rid the world of so-called music lovers who cannot make a record without using technologies far beyond their ability, thus increasing his soul-quota from the EEC."
I'd be scared. Really scared, if I were a coward. But I'm not. I'm one of the hardest men you're ever likely to meet, and therefore this man with the strength of the whole simian race behind him (I suspect he may be their king, or at the very least is linked to them in some Star-Trek-esque collective mentality) doesn't frighten me. Yeah.
