[QUOTE=devilsknew]  
Here’s a trick question, or rather two questions that have the same answer.

What phrase should you utter when being attacked by Gort the Killer Robot?

What incantation of protection should you chant when taking possesion of the Necronomicon?

Klaatu Barada Nikto.

(References to _The Day the Earth Stood Still_ and _Army of Darkness_, respectively.)  
[/QUOTE]

Heck, as long as we’re asking Necronomicon questions: what’s notable about the book? And, who wrote it?

Answers: It’s written in human blood and bound in human flesh, and it was written by the mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred.

Bonus: What movie is this from? (Two correct answers.)

If it’s what I think it is, the second movie quote is actually, “\*We’re \* coming to get you, Barbara.”

B. A Fire extinguisher.

Stipulation: It must be a Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher. You need to freeze the blob.
