I think these kind of weighty questions are exactly why he keeps the
FEDERAL RESERVE on retainer!
Another puzzler: If Diabolik were to go to the considerable time and
expense to mint gold coins, and use them to buy a bed whose sheets
have INCREDIBLY HIGH THREAD COUNT, would that be allowed in his
oeuvre? Or would that be CHEATING?

Given the number of people he ruthlessly kills in his "capers", maybe
he serves some IMPORTANT EVOLUTIONARY ROLE! We can only imagine what
"Diabolik, Jr." would get up to, if that movie had ever been made....
