QOTW9

You’re back! Lovely to see you. Now shut up and face the corner.

Yes, that’s right boys and girls, it’s time for another multiple choice quiz where we throw random bizarre questions at you and see how much you learned this week about news from Japan and Asia. Don’t dilly-dally now; Hitler, Donald Trump’s hair, and a manga about love eggs are all waiting for you after the jump!

If you don’t know the rules by now then you automatically lose a point, but if you’re new to this all then remember to highlight the space between the square brackets [ If Yoshi’s a boy, why does he lay eggs? ] after the word “Answer:” or click the “Read more” link to see if if you’re right. (And yes, I promise we’ll be sprucing our quiz up as soon as we can, but right now all of our money is being poured into a legal battle to free Mr. Sato’s 12 clones. I can’t really talk about it…)

Let’s get to it then, shall we?
