Q I've seen Scooby Dum referred to
as Scooby Doo's brother and cousin in the same episode. So,
which is it?
A After an exhaustive search, I
found only one web page that even addressed the
brother/cousin issue (See the Scooby Dum profile at ar
edjays's Home Page.) I couldn't find any enlightenment
as to what started the confusion, but aredjay along with
many other sources I checked confirm that Scooby Dum is
indeed Scooby Doo's cousin.

Q 1. Why is
it that some dorks insist on calling japanese cartoons
anime? They are clearly just badly drawn cartoons.
2. Which leads to the 2nd part of my
questions. Why is it that when the japanese make their
cartoons, instead of drawing japanese people they draw
anglos. wouldn't it be more appealing to their children if
their cartoon characters looked more like themselves?
A 1. The
difference between cartoons and "anime" is simple
marketing. It is the same difference as dolls and
"collectables".
2. I dont know. I asked the editors
at EX, the anime experts,
but they haven't bothered to answer.
Q Where the hell did you get the
COMDAC-cam?
A I got the COMDAC-cam at WebFX
(one of the guys listed at the bottom) under the heading
"greenscreen".
Q When you choke a smurf, what color
does it turn?
A They turn KHAKI. It's a fact.
Q Does virgin wool come from sheep
the farmer hasn't caught yet?
A I'm afraid to even investigate
that answer. Try the people at Rent-A
-Sheep.
Q Why do they put braille on the
number pads of drive through bank machines?
A People who have lived in Boston
know -- they are for the blind drivers.
Q Godzilla I understand, but
Godzooki?
A I remember Godzooki from the old
Godzilla cartoon. I always thought he was the same thing as
Godzilla Junior, but apparently not. Both Barry's
Temple of Godzilla and Godzilla'98 mention
Godzilla Junior, but nothing about Godzooki.
Q What was the best thing
before sliced bread?
A Butter. Before that it was
bricks. Before that fire. Prior to that everything pretty
much sucked equally.
Q 1. What is
your favorite?
2. Why don't you have one?
3. Why would you recommend that no
one else gets one?
A 1. World
peace.
2. It's too expensive.
3. It's bad for the economy.
Q Why are baby predators cuter than
baby harmless creatures?
A Because everybody loves a
winner.
Q If doctors are suposed to be
experts, why do they call their business a practice?
A Two words -- plausible
deniability
Q What shall we do with a drunken
sailor?
D. Kolb and E.K.E. Gunderson's study, "Alcoholism in the
United States Navy" reports that attempts to prevent,
diagnose and rehabilitate sailors suffering from
alcohol-related problems are to a measurable degree
superior to the older approach of simple hospitalization
(published in Armed Forces and Society, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp.
183-194).
(okay, I guess I answered it myself, just thought it was an
interesting tidbit of bullshit.)
A I was going to say, "Handcuff
them to the sink, then transfer them to Miami and promote
them to Chief." But I like your idea better.
Q Which one is hotter? Billy Joe,
Betty Joe, or Bobby Joe? Be honest. You live there.
A I was going to say Bobby Joe,
until I saw THIS. Now I'm
forced to go with Betty Joe.
Thanks to the folks at Petticoat Junction On
Line for the photo.
Q I know edith poised this question
1st, but thermoses that keep hot things hot and cold things
cold. how does that work?
A I consulted with the people at The
Talking Thermos Homepage and while I wouldn't believe a
word of anything else they had to say, they did have a
scientific-looking diagram
that pretty clearly explained the "hot stays hot, cold
stays cold" phenomenon.
