The Effects of Soy Sauce on American Males Quiz

Answer: Ship of Theseus

The Ship of Theseus posits that if one part of a ship is replaced, the ship is still the same ship. If, one by one, every part of the ship is replaced, does it remain the same ship, or has it become a different ship, and if so, at which point did it become a different ship? The riddle in the prologue states this much more concisely, asking about an axe that has had both its head and handle replaced.

Answer: Morgan Freeman

It is during Morgan Freeman's (real name Lawrence Appleton) interrogation of David that the effects of the soy sauce first set in after burrowing its way through his leg.

Fred Chu has his head blown off by David after the worms are burned out of Justin's body and decide that Fred is the next best choice of host. Fred's last request is that everyone perpetrate the story of him haunting his hometown of [Undisclosed].

"Big Jim" Sullivan is killed in Las Vegas by one of the wig monsters. His last request is for someone to take care of his little sister, Amy.

Jennifer Lopez (no, not THAT Jennifer Lopez) becomes David's girlfriend for a while, though David doesn't remember most of it because of the effects of what happened in Vegas. As it turns out, their relationship is not a very stable one, and David leaves after not very long, though this is partially due to the fact that he still has to stop the interdimensional alien invasion.

Answer: Blue

As it turns out, the eye belonged to Korrok, the otherworldly being whose worshipers were attempting to invade Earth by way of the soy sauce. They did this by replacing as many human beings who took the soy sauce as they could with exact duplicates whom they could control remotely.

They also used the human beings as carriers of the white parasitic worms that they could use to infect other humans.

Answer: "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison
