Okay, I'm back from a really boring trip to Long Melford, so I can award you with, ooh, a few more answers at least...

3. What do the three Weirdoes each represent?
Yes, you've all got the idea here. Three spirits, each with his own area of responcibility and the headgear to prove it. One represents Paramites and the Mudomo, another represents Scrabs and the Mundanchee. But what could that third spirit be the ghostly reincarnation of? Who said I'd give you all the answers?

4. And just what is it that wakes them up in the first place?
Well yes, I dare say all that heavy machinery and mining explosions probably brought the ghosts into REM sleep... Actually, of course it did, but an early Abe's Exoddus plot gave the reason of awaking to a slightly different reason:

With all the disturbance the Glukkons are making, the dead Mudokons are rising from their tombs and wandering Necrum aimlessly. It is actually these Mudombies that awaken the Mudokon spirits. Pretty cheesy, huh?

5. How many Meep do the Mudokon Meep Herders herd?
I'm glad you can (almost) all count - there are 25 Meep in the Meep Herder Village.

6. Where do Scrabs go to die?
I meant in the wild, but I should have made it clearer. Dying Scrabs make their way to the Scrabacombs, a vast underground network of chambers and corridors where, to preserve their dignity, the noble beasts line themselves up. Now, though, this ancient tradition has been disturbed by the cheeky meddlings of the Glukkons.

7. Give the early name for FeeCo Trains.
Engines of Destruction. Corny.

8. Munch rigs Vykkers Labs with dynamite stolen from the armoury – but what is that beeping sound reminiscent of?
Generally correct answers mostly, here - UXBs, the Scrab trap... only Scrabinator said 'order bomb', though, well done you.

9. What is Vice-President Aslik’s favourite pastime?
I really meant sport, which everyone now knows is Mudokon Tossing, but my tradition poor phrasing gets you all marks...well, most of you.


At this point, you've all got your eyes wide open, your heart is thumping and your skin is sweatier than a McBurger...alright, hold on, cause here it comes...

10. And why do Sam and Munch sympathise with each other when they finally meet?
All good answers, but a storyboard in the OWI studios reveals it to be because of a physical affliction they both have - they both mechanical devices lodged in their head. I dunno what Sam's gadget does, but it's there all right. I bet you're all wide-eyed with anticipation of the CGI movie of this tremendous event, it should lead to some good raw emotion.

Well, there you all go. Hope you enjoyed yourself, I know I have. I'll returned once I've calculated the scores, though, which will of course be done in my own unique way to confuse you all.
