Simple question, so many answers...
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

When I got done laughing so hard it HURT - I had to pick other because you didn't put in "all of the above". Thanks, Paul. I haven't laughed that hard since my sister said (in all seriousness), "Superman's an alien? But he looks so human!" In the end, my answer must be "why not?"  ETA: I forgot "I was young, I needed the money..." Sometimes that's why, too.

I also object that while there were (at least) two (well, really three, but one was a Simpson's reference as well) SG-1 references, I saw none to SGA. My suggestion: "Was I not supposed to?" (Although it's really not the same without those innocent blue eyes: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.stargate-project.de/atlantis/images/episodenguide/staffel3/308.jpg) )
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

It had to be 42, of course, which is the answer to life, the universe and everything. My second choice would be my utility belt, except that it would have to be Batman's utility belt, which, at least on the old Adam West TV series, contained the answer to everything.
But Paul, you should have included that book of wisdom that is forever consulted by Hewie, Lewie and Dewie, or whatever Donald Duck's nephews are called in English. (In Swedish they are Knatte, Fnatte and Tjatte, and that book of wisdom they consult is called Gröngölingsboken, the Book of Greenhorns). Really, what is it called in English?

Yeah, I forgot a couple of things. Completely forgot about SGA. Also forgot Star Trek. "Don't mind him. He did a little too much LDS back in the 60s..." "All Of The Above" is a good one, too. Wish I'd thought of that. As for making it 4 options as opposed to 8, 37, or 51... Why not?  EDIT: TOC wrote in while I was posting this. Can't say I recall anything about Donald's nephews having a book of wisdom, though I do recall an episode of Duck Tales where they explored a temple created by the ancient Thinkas (or is that Thincas?). Oh, crumb. I also completely forgot "Reply hazy. Ask again later." *sigh* Am I going to have to do this all again?

Hah! I found it. (Bless Wikipedia.) It's the Junior Woodchucks Guidebook, which, even though it is a small paperback book, contains the answer to every Who, How, When, Where, Whither and Wherefore that you can think of. When I was a kid, I so much wanted a Junior Woodchucks Guidebook for myself!  And the names of Donald's nephews are spelled Huey, Dewey and Louie, as pretty much all of you already knew, I'll wager. So, Paul, with the help of Batman's utility belt, the Junior Woodchucks Guidebook and a penguin or two, most of us should be able to deal with whatever life may throw at us! Ann

Oh yeah! Now I remember! It was their version of the Boy Scouts. That was a lot of fun.
I wonder if Huey Lewis (who took his stage name from them) has one...

This is hilarious! I SO had more than four answers too, so I can't remember which four I ultimately chose.

See! I knew 42 was the right answer! And I didn't pick it (sigh).

I wanted to pick Keanu and the Midnight Bomber, but I was waiting for 42 the whole time, so I couldn't possibly pass that up. Hysterical poll!
