Plato was the legendary Greek philosopher and plate-spinner who invented friendship. He was born around 430 BC and was named Aristocles. However he soon grew bored with life and ran away to become a travelling performer, inventing the noble art of plate-spinning around 410 BC.
He went on to share his plate-spinning duties with a band of apprentices (who included the young Aristotle) which gave him more time to invent friendship, having become disillusioned with the constant sex that characterized ancient Greek life. He also became a philosopher, following in the footsteps of Socrates, the famous Brazilian footballer-philosopher.
