Sgt.Null is a purveyor of randomness with tenuous links to what the last person said, or at least referencing something from the previous post. While that is not always his M.O., it does seem to hold true most of the time. He (if indeed it is he) might be an agent for the Discordians, with a little tendency toward Slack, which might mean he is a follower of the Church of the Subgenius. Or maybe just some little toady constantly looking to increase his post count by googling something from the previous post. Or possibly all three.
If you happen to meet Sgt.Null on the street, be careful and watch your overcoat. He is legged and extremely dangerous, as well as obsequious, purple and clairvoyant. And he has nickles between his toes. Fnord.

Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

The history of Cagliostro is shrouded in rumour, propaganda and mysticism. Some effort was expended to ascertain his true identity when he was arrested because of his possible participation in the Affair of the Diamond Necklace.
Goethe relates in his Italian Journey that the identification of Cagliostro with Giuseppe Balsamo was ascertained by a lawyer from Palermo who, on official request, had sent a dossier with copies of the pertaining documents to France. Goethe met the lawyer in April 1787 and saw the documents and Balsamo's pedigree: Balsamo's great-grandfather Matteo Martello had two daughters, Maria who married Giuseppe Bracconeri, and Vincenza who married Giuseppe Cagliostro. Maria and Giuseppe Bracconeri had three children, Matteo, Antonia, and Felicitá who married Pietro Balsamo. The latter couple's son was Giuseppe Balsamo who was christened on the name of his greatuncle and eventually adopted his surname too. Pietro Balsamo was the son of a book-seller, Antonino Balsamo, and had declared bancruptcy before dying at age 44. Felicitá Balsamo was still alive in Palermo then, and Goethe visited her and her daughter.
Cagliostro himself stated during the trial following the Affair of the Diamond Necklace to have been born of Christians of noble birth, but abandoned as an orphan upon the island of Malta. He claimed to have travelled as a child to Medina, Mecca, and Cairo, and upon return to Malta to have been initiated into the Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta, with whom he studied alchemy, the Kabbalah and magic, but this may be nothing more than the typical mystical background asserted by many impostors and charlatans throughout history—Goethe classifies this as "silly fairy-tales".
