- From questions about dirt to whether all living things dream, we answer some of your
most burning questions about life. - I’m Nixxiom and I’m here to tell you
nothing but the truth! Mmm yeah.... Oh - and with me is everyone’s favourite feathered
fact reader, Meliss-AHH! - *
- Hey there, Nixxiom. - Moocluck!? What are you doing here!?
- What? Can’t a guy drop in to see how his favourite, pointy eared zombie is doing?
- Ugh, fine. Just stand right there and don’t cramp my style. Ahem.
10 - SuddenRepeat - Did the Greek Gods really exist?
- Well, of course they did! I take it you’ve heard of the twelve Olympians? Well, did you
know that there used to be thirteen Gods of Olympus? That’s right! I was once the chief
deity of the pantheon. I looked amazing in a toga. But you know, being the modest guy
that I am, I stepped aside - I didn’t want to steal Zeus’ thunder, if you catch my
drift.
- There is no evidence to suggest that the Greek Gods existed.
- Moocluck!
- Scholars believe that the Greek Gods were created by man in order to explain and explore
the world around them.
- You’re ruining it!
- Aristocrats would use them to provide legitimacy to their rule, and others would use them to
provide entertainment for the masses. The ancient Greeks did not have a single scripture
of faith, like the Bible, nor did they believe in the concept of absolute truth like more
modern religions.

- You know, that was fun. Let’s answer another question, shall we Nixxiom?
- *groan*
9 - Austin Renk - Where does the iron in our blood come from?
- In a time long forgotten, humans were forged out of iron by the great makers! But over
the eons, their form degraded into what you see today. The iron in your blood is all that’s
left of your glorious past. Now humans are all weak and pathetic losers, like Moocluck!
- About 70 percent of the iron in your body is found in the red blood cells called hemoglobin
and the muscles cells called myoglobin. 25 percent of the iron in the human body is also
stored as ferritin. You’ll get it from foods like lamb, pork, fish & green vegetables.
- Ergh, vegetables! I’m not eating those! Do I look like a wimp?
- You’re undead. How do you even process food anyway?
- Oh I don’t, I just throw it all back up shortly after eating! In fact, one moment.

8 - G. B. - Do all living things dream?
- Sure and even dead things dream, like me. Every night when I slumber, I’m visited
by a mysterious hooded woman, she looms over me, silent as the grave. WHAT DO YOU WANT
SILENT SPECTRE!? ANSWER ME! - *
- Hey there hot stuff, are you dreaming about little ol’ me? *
- * - AHHH! O-oh! It - it was just a bad dream…
Thank goodness...
- Not all living things dream. All land mammals, some birds and even certain lizards are able
to enter a state of slumber known as REM sleep - it is in this state that most vivid dreams
occur. But fish and insects do not experience REM sleep. This suggests that REM sleep is
a trait that has evolved through the common ancestors of Amniotes.
7 - Queen of Fire and TNT - How many Black Holes are there in the Universe?
- I don’t know let me think… Hmm…huh… Oh I remember! There’s 247.
- ...What? - Yeah, every time I want to travel from one
side of the Universe to the other, I use my BIG STRONG GODLY arms to fold the Universe
on itself, then I tear a hole through the fabric of space and step through! It’s great
for avoiding traffic. - What you just said is utter nonsense! It’s
not possible! - Huh, yeah, maybe not for you, with your
little noodle arms but for me it’s so easy I’ve done it hundreds of times!
- *
There are so many Black Holes in the Universe that it is impossible to count them. Stellar-mass
black holes form when a large star dies in a supernova explosion, and our galaxy contains
about 100 million stellar-mass black holes. Also, most and perhaps all galaxies contain
a supermassive black hole at their center and in our observable region of the Universe,
there are some 100 billion supermassive black holes.
6 - Dan Gaming - How many bees are in one hive?
- You know, this reminds me of the time I saved a village from a swarm of demonic man-eater
Bees. Each one of them was the size of bear w-with stingers like swords! Heh, the peasants
were so grateful they even renamed the village after me.
- That’s not what happened. I remember a Beekeeper that needed our help with some thieves
who were stealing his honey, but we just mugged him and left him for dead.
- * - Ha ha! * There goes Moocluck again with
his crazy tall tales! Ha ha ha! * Shut the hell up.
During Summer, there can be up to 35,000 honey bees within a beehive. That number drops considerably
to around 5000 during the winter, because some bees will eject the male drones from
the hive as cold approaches and food for the colony becomes limited.
5 - Awesome Kitty - What would happen if you couldn’t blink for 7 hours?
- Myself being a fine example of a superior elf, I have never blinked, not once! This
has granted me vision beyond that of mortals and those who look into my eyes experience
something I can only describe as magical. Moocluck, gaze into my eyes and tell me what
you see! - *
- Oh my God!
Not blinking for a substantial amount of time will cause your eyes to dry, which will lead
to scarring and possible loss of sight. Your body will attempt to force your eyes closed
and leak tears onto your eyes in an effort to keep them lubricated. With your eyes dried
it will make them really dirty and could lead to infection.
4 - Dangerous Dragon - What is dirt made up of?
- In ancient primordial times, when the world was young, I - Nixxiom, battled a titan of
stone! Great was his size and mighty were his blows but I toppled my gargantuan adversary
and ground him into dirt! You have earned your rest, my honourable foe.
Dirt is a mixture of rocks, sand, clay and organic matter. Depending on the climate and
location dirt can have several characteristics. In drier areas, dirt can become saltier whereas
in wet climates dirt can develop into bogs. Dirt with a good amount of moisture is important
because nutrients vital for healthy plant growth are dissolved in it.
- Boooooooooooring! I wish Melissa were here, she would have answered that far better.
- Oh, who’s Melissa? - N-No one!
- Oh Nixxiom, and here I thought your heart was as rotten as your brain.
- IT’S NOT LIKE THAT MOOCLUCK, SHE JUST DOESN’T READ OUT ANSWERS LIKE AN IDIOT!
3 - Norinatsu - Are there any long term effects to cannibalism?
- Nope, go right ahead. - *
- Ermmm...
Cannibalism has rarely been known to cause illness. However, there was an outbreak of
a rare malady known as Kuru or “shaking death” in which the disease would work its
way into the victim’s brain and symptoms would include a loss of coordination, rictus,
trembling and paralysis. Those suffering with kuru would either suffocate or starve to death
within 6 to 12 months.
- * - … What? It’s just turkey.

2 - BATISTABOMBER21 - Is our Moon moving away from us?
- It better not be! That damn rock owes me money!
- * - HEY! Where do you think you’re going,
huh? Don’t you try and sneak away from me you shifty space rock!
Yes, the Moon’s orbit is getting larger, at a rate of roughly 3.8 centimeters per year
and this is causing the Earth’s rotation to slow. In roughly one hundred years, a day
on Earth will be 2 milliseconds longer than it is now.
- Nixxiom, look! A demon! - *
- Oh my goodness, Moocluck. You’re right! Quick, see if you can cast a binding spell
on it! - Good idea!
- * - Demon! Your will is mine! Obey the call
of your new master- - *
- Alright… Nevermind then… - HA!
1 - TheTwinHunters - Can a person die from a bad smell?
- Ever heard of a Cockatrice? A monstrous beast, with a breath so foul that even a whiff
will kill you! Lucky for me, I don’t need to breathe. Any Cockatrice foolish enough
to cross my path ends up mounted on my wall or on my dinner table.
- What a load of rubbish. Do people here actually believe the utter tripe that you spew?
- SHUT UP MOOCLUCK I HATE YOU! YOU RUIN EVERYTHING! GO BACK TO YOUR DIMENSION!
There are a number of chemicals which if you breathe in will kill you, but a really bad
smell WON’T. However, a particularly foul smell could cause you to regurgitate so violently
that you choke on your own vomit... Charming.
- * - H-hey everyone! S-sorry Im late. Somebody
left a ton of bread crumbs in the park on the way over here and - well - you know me!
Ha-ha… Hey! Nixxiom, is this a friend of yours?
- * - Who’s this bird? … Wait - Is this Melissa?
Ahahahaha! Oh Nixxiom - I didn’t realise talking bird creatures were your type! Hahaha!
- * - GRRRRR!
- * - Melissa, Moocluck was just leaving!
- What - are you- doing- you idiot? * - *
- No no no! Don’t you dare! Ahhhhh! - *
- Did I miss something here? - I don’t want to talk about it! *
- O-k well then… Hello! My name’s Melissa and I’m going to be reading the questions
and ans- * - Oh - the - the video’s over?
