Yes, I heard that because of Zapperonie and his geek friends, that the general
IQ of Washington was lowered a good 50 points while they were there.  The only
difference between the Zapperonie types and mushrooms is that mushrooms don't
spurt out oral diarrhea.  The only similarities are their IQ's.  One thing the
geeks did learn from mushrooms is: feed'em bullshit and watch'em grow.
"It's not easy living with mushrooms you know; the dark, the damp, the cold
environment, kind of gets to your bones, and half the time they won't even
talk to ya, and when they do, it's over yer haid."
