Seriously, a ‘gay bomb’? My guess is they got to the testing stage and discovered that making soldiers sexually irresistible to one another actually made them more efficient, vicious killers. Clearly, none of the officers running the project had ever … Continue reading →

mark a rayner | scribblings, squibs & sundry monkey joys: Ask General Kang: What do you do when you ask God to smite your enemies, but no smiting ensues?
Ah, you human monkeys and your penchant for violent fiction! Of course, this question has no meaning for me, because I have neither been influenced by the collective delusion you call “God”, nor have I ever asked anyone else to … Continue reading →
Continue readingmark a rayner | scribblings, squibs & sundry monkey joys: Ask General Kang: Do you have infographics on your home world?
Do we? I have entire legion of hipster über-baboons devoted to cranking out these things on an hourly basis, clogging Neecknaw’s Datasphere with pretty misinformation. Before I recruited them for the Symbol Legion of Zoom, I found the über-baboons were … Continue reading →
Continue readingmark a rayner | scribblings, squibs & sundry monkey joys: Ask General Kang: What musical instrument should I learn?
I think it depends a bit on where your talents lie. For example, can you carry a tune? Then maybe a kazoo. Or even a harmonica if you’ve got some talent. If you have less musical aptitude, perhaps you should … Continue reading →
Continue readingmark a rayner | scribblings, squibs & sundry monkey joys: Ask General Kang: I can’t stop playing Civilization V. Can you help?
Hmm. Do you have access to an intergalactic armada and enough firepower to conquer another world? If so, then I think I can help you, but I’ll need to borrow them first. If not, then you’re screwed. Everybody knows that … Continue reading →
Continue readingmark a rayner | scribblings, squibs & sundry monkey joys: Ask General Kang: Is it technically cannibalism if all you eat is a pinkie?
First of all, check the finger carefully. If it’s not a pinkie from the same species, then you’re probably okay. I was once really freaked out by Colonel (now Major) Bonzo and his wife had me over for a “special” … Continue reading →
Continue readingmark a rayner | scribblings, squibs & sundry monkey joys: Ask General Kang: I’m freaking out! I’ve just learned the earth will be destroyed by the sun. Is it true?
You can relax. I don’t know where you got your information, but our best scientists don’t currently think the earth will be destroyed by the sun. In about 4-5 billion years, our sun will enter the red giant phase of … Continue reading →

You’re lookin’ at one, matey. Ye don’t become an evil intergalactic overlord by inheritin’ the job, ye know. (Actually, Blugnarsh the Bloody did actually take over from his father, Bloodwash the Blue, but he had to fight his way back … Continue reading →
Continue readingmark a rayner | scribblings, squibs & sundry monkey joys: Ask General Kang: Is our universe somebody’s hobby? Cause I’ve got a few choice words for the dude if it is.
Yeah, but if the universe was some giant simulation being played by some kind of super-being (post-human, post-uberchimp, whatever) on a computer big enough to create a whole universe, don’t you think there would be more roving gangs of mutant … Continue reading →
Continue readingmark a rayner | scribblings, squibs & sundry monkey joys: Ask General Kang: Should I be afraid of the semicolon?
Do you mean the form of punctuation, or what happens to your lower intestines after you’ve eaten improperly prepared Thringian Gitworm sashimi? Because if you’ve eaten bad ThriGit sashimi, and its still-living spawn are now lunching on your colon, then … Continue reading →
Continue readingThe Skwib: Ask General Kang: Do you have Santa Claus on your home planet?
No, we didn’t have Santa Claus when I was growing up. We didn’t have Christmas. Heck, we didn’t even have your primitive paleo-brain concept of religion. We did have the concept of gift-giving, and something we called Consumer Day, when we tried to boost our Neecknabian economy and give gifts.
Continue readingThe Skwib: Ask General Kang: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving on your home world?
No, we have several holidays that are somewhat similar, but essentially we break your celebration into two components. And then we have one “thanksgiving” day which is totally alien to your world. In the late months of the harvest time on Planet Neecknaw, we have a holiday that is probably
Continue readingThe Skwib: Ask General Kang: Do you enjoy daylight savings time?
Yes, of course. There’s nothing I enjoy more than having to reset my body’s circadian rhythms because of your human delusion that you control things. Most of you can barely operate your own crude technologies properly (put up your hands if you know how to stop your PC from launching Outlook), so I love the […]
Continue readingThe Skwib: Ask General Kang: If a blogger blogs in the forest, and nobody is around to read it, does it exist?
I think what you’re really asking is can something exist without being perceived. Of course, in this instance, you’re forgetting that the person writing the blog — the blogger — will perceive the blog, so of course it exists. This raises another question, though. If this fictional blogger — let’s call him Mankor the Metaphysical […]
Continue readingThe Skwib: Ask General Kang: Can you explain how international finances work?
You must have me confused with an economist. Perhaps it is because I have not been allowed to answer any questions on The Skwib for some time (due to an extensive run of drivel produced by that Dadaist wanker, Toulouse Le Grandfig), or perhaps it’s because you’re a typical low-intellect human. In any case, economists […]
Continue readingThe Skwib: Ask General Kang: Is it a correction? Please tell me it’s a correction! Should I sell?
Yep, there’s nothing trickier to manipulate than a system based on fear and greed. You humans should consider changing your approach to markets. Back on my home planet, I changed our stock market system to take most of the greed out of it, and increased the amount of fear. How, you ask? Simple. On a […]

I think you should tell me what that is in Celsius. 35? 36? Never mind, it doesn’t matter, because that Miss Manners is a complete bitch. How DARE she tell you what to do? I’m only offering helpful advice, but she has decrees. Well, I think you should wear whatever you want. It’s still a […]
