Where can I find said dumpster and incriminating coconut so that I can proclaim to the world that we do, indeed, disseminate valuable, I mean huge, fantastic information in this here thread?

Did you look outside the back door of the Questions Only Headquarters Building, in the alley where all those mean dogs are roaming around? Also, did anyone disseminate the possibly valuable information to you that the door is kept locked, and the key is in the cellar, where both the lights and the stairs are out, in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the Leopard”?

Could someone have left the Official Record in a field somewhere when they were busy getting the sheep dip? Who’s in charge of the sheep dip?

Bruce, if you are reading this, can you drop whatever logical positive nonsense you are doing and bring us the sheep dip? What are you doing, anyway?

Did anyone say Brooce (or even Broose or Bruice) wasn’t part of this as well?

Did you know that there was a typo in the script for that episode, and what Graham Chapman pronounced as “Throat Warbler Mangrove” was actually supposed to be “My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels”?
