To defeat the Dragonlord, Malroth, Zoma, and Necrosaro.
*Waits to see who understands that and who doesn't*
2. If you were a sovereign state, what would be the motto on your national seal?
Krenimvania: Invaders Welcome!
3. Beans: "Food of the Gods" or "Practical Joke on Humanity"?
Neither. Beans are neither good nor evil. Asparagus, on the other hand...
4. Why are so many snack foods endorsed by animated rabbits?
Silly Baloo, the answer to this question is for kids!
5. Does she or doesn't she, and how come only her hairdresser knows?
Yes, she does. And the hairdresser has been stalking her for over a year now, waiting for the opportunity to steal her identity.
6. Banana or mango?
Both.
*Sets the banana at the far end of the bowling lane and tries to hit it with the mango*
7. If you were designing "the Car of the Future", what feature would you insist it have?
The ability to fold up into a briefcase, like the one the Jetsons have. Parking lots will cease to exist.
8. Trains, planes, or automobiles?
Trains, simply because I've never been on one.
9. I think, therefore _____.?
I think, therefore I wonder why I go through answering these questions each week even though I never win...
10. Some things cost an arm and a leg. What body part do you recommend as a medium of exchange?
My spleen. Considering how it manufactures quite a bit of the white blood cells in one's body, its highly valuable.

-Deep Space Nine, "Far Beyond the Stars."
To use the Shadow fleet to capture the Krenim weapon/ship, then warp away beyond the Rim, to Lee's place, then to settle in Moron Hell and tweak with the spy sheep.
2. If you were a sovereign state, what would be the motto on your national seal?
The Unified Provinces of Elimway: "Have it your way! Or don't."
3. Beans: "Food of the Gods" or "Practical Joke on Humanity"?
Not really either they're only a practical joke on those who don't eat them, actually.
4. Why are so many snack foods endorsed by animated rabbits?
They learned from Cadbury's mistake with the real bnunny and the casting problems they've turned into promotion. Now these companies can bear the slogan "No ink, plumage, paint shards, or other animation material was harmed in the production of this catoon."
5. Does she or doesn't she, and how come only her hairdresser knows?
She does or else there would be nothing for her hairdresser to know. The hairdresser knows since little poddles let everything out when they're in those chairs, waiting for the cute pink bows.
6. Banana or mango?
Bango... Manana... Who knows? Only one way to find out...
*sings*
Mango Mango Bo Bango
Bonana Fanna Fo Fango
Fe Fi Mo Ango
Mango!
*stops singing*
*tries again, sings*
Banana Banana Bo Anana
Bonana Fanna Fo Fanana
Fe Fi Mo Manana
Banana!
*stops singing*
I must confer with the Shirley Ellis. Mango is the answer you seek.
7. If you were designing "the Car of the Future", what feature would you insist it have?
It must be capable of lying to the traffic cop on a regular basis. It is a skill like any other, after all. I would also require it to be outfitted with an emergency transporter beacon retrieval system and a no-hands bubble gum wrapper-remover and mouth-placer-inner.
8. Trains, planes, or automobiles?
Trains and planes are automobiles, by decomposition of the word.
This question is futile. I will not comply.
9. I think, therefore _____.?
"I think, therefore ACH is produced by the central section of my brain and then sent to a neuron (well, a dendrite to be more precise), at which point the dendrite tranfers this thought from the cell body to the axon, then to the synaptic terminals where simple synaptic vessicles have been signaled to propel the neuron's chemicals to the next neuron's dendrites, a process which is repeated until the message or thought reaches its desired destination (message received, process completed)."
10. Some things cost an arm and a leg. What body part do you recommend as a medium of exchange?
Toe nails. They grow back. (equivalent to $5)
Finger nails longer than two cm: $20
Baby toe: $50
Baby finger: $100
Single kidney: $500
Pancreas: $1000
*aghast* Krenim has never been on a train! What a poor deprived soul.

Argh...that's a long story. I was walking home one day after buying some sourdough bread when a huge giraffe appeared before me and said, "You shall buy some sourdough bread!" I replied, "You told me on the way there. Here it is." We were munching away, and then the giraffe said, "You shall retrieve the sacred relic from the forests of Zalmarka!" So, I headed out to Zalmarka, hoping that there was only one sacred relic there. Unfortunately, the plane crashed halfway out. Apparently ZalmarkAir doesn't follow safety standards too well. Luckily, It was only flying at an altitude of 20 ft. anyway, so I escaped just as the plane was sinking. The pilot got out, too. And, well, that was all of us. So, we swam for a few minutes, until the pilot shouted, "Hey, isn't that an oil rig to our left?" Looking up, he was right. "Yup! Right next to that island. Er, continent. Why are we swimming, anyway?" We then walked to shore (since the water was about 2 ft. deep...it was low-altitude day or something), which happened to be the location of a large luxury resort. Unfortunately, the pilot couldn't pay for his room, so he had to sell his plane. I guess the buyer wasn't too happy that it was at the bottom of the ocean, though, so he sued. I was called as the first witness during the trial, and I explained that the water was only 2 ft. deep there, and the only damage to the plane was a bit of rusting and a minor catastrophic engine failure, but those Zalmarkan judges can be strict. Er, wait, I wasn't in Zalmarka just yet...actually, I don't recall which country it was. I probably should've asked. In any case, I asked someone for directions to Zalmarka and rented a jeep. Or, come to think of it, I rented the directions and asked someone for the jeep. Luckily, the person said, "Oh, sure, you can have my jeep," so I hopped in and drove off. He waved and shouted, "Have a nice trip!" Or, now that I think about it, maybe he was shaking his fist and screamed, "That was $%&@ing sarcasm, you &@$%&@%!" Anyway, Zalmarka was just a full day's drive away, but I got there in only 1000 Swatch beats. However, as it turns out...Zalmarka doesn't have any forests; it's entirely desert! Suddenly, the giraffe appeared again, and said that he was confused, and what he really wanted was discount relish from the local Sal's Market. I was really annoyed, so I set the giraffe on fire and fed him to the Zalmarkan sand beast that was stalking me. Still, to this day, I dread going near Nissan dealers.

It's their way of saying, "Fry up some rabbit and serve it with this snack...it'll taste even better!"
5.Does she or doesn't she, and how come only her hairdresser knows?
I could tell you, but then her hairdresser would have to kill you. And probably seriously injure me. They have those scissors and razors and such.

7.If you were designing "the Car of the Future", what feature would you insist it have?
A microwave!

10.Some things cost an arm and a leg. What body part do you recommend as a medium of exchange?
Well I hear that ones' eyes are quite popular in The Forbidden City, however if I were to choose another it'd have to be my skin. Knowing of course that the skin is practically useless on the market, I would definately opt for my Gull bladder and spleen.
