This week, we heard the heart-warming story of precocious seven-year-old Kyle Falls, who dressed up in a tuxedo to attend his first day of classes at a new school located at the Spruce Street skyscraper designed by Frank Gehry. The adorableness did not go unnoticed by Mayor Bloomberg, who met him at the school and posed for some photos. The whole story seemed wrapped up...but then we started thinking: what if Mayor Bloomberg had a near-death experience in his bath, and realized that no one will carry on his legacy after he dies? What if Bloomberg then started auditioning potential candidates to inherit his vast fortune? WHAT IF KYLE FALLS IS MR. BURNS' BLOOMBERG'S HEIR APPARENT?
