A: Extensive testing was undertaken to determine the answer. Samples of ginger and wasabi were placed in proximity to sushi, and left in a sealed environment. A control quantity of sushi was also prepared, with neither ginger nor wasabi added.
The ginger/sushi mixture percolated for several minutes, then ate through the bowl, and subsequently the table. The lab staff chased it down into the engine decks, where luckily it stopped short of breaching the hull. However when they returned to the lab the remains of the bowl had crawled into a corner and died, and the table later exploded during dinner.
Wasabi and sushi hit it off right away, and eloped to Vegas to get married. They had three children: a lizard-like creature named Chuck, currently working as a waiter in Hollywood until he gets his big break when monster movies have a revival; a daughter named Melody with various unhelpful superpowers such as fridge-breath (like freeze-breath, but it only chills to about 2-4 degrees) and unpowered flight (meaning she has to carry a battery-powered hair dryer to actually move once she's in mid-air) - she fights crime in a small island just off the coast of Washington State, where she's not totally out of her league; and a child of indeterminate gender named Huh, which is in therapy for a number of reasons.
The control sample of sushi got very very lonely, and ended up wearing heavy eye shadow and black clothes. It recently produced a poem, entitled 'My Pain':
My pain is
an ocean
of sorrow and misery.
You
cannot understand what it is
to be me. Do not
pity
me, even though
I am condiment-less.
My life is
loneliness.
Officers from the Test Subject Health and Welfare Bureau are currently investigating the laboratory.
Q: Do movies get tired of moving?
