} Hi, I'm Zadoc Nantz, and we'll be back with coverage of The Oracle
} Answering Your Question right after this.
}
} The Oracle Answering Your Question is brought to you by...
} S.C. Johnson Wax, makers of new Woodchuck-B-Gon spray.
} And by Bright Red Siamese Fighting Fish Food, new from Hartz.
}
} Welcome back. Going out to the Oracle's Temple now, to watch the
} Oracle warming up to answer your question. Our question-answering
} correspondent Alex Trebek is there. Alex?
}
} Thanks, Zadoc. Now, the Oracle has been warming up for
} 15 minutes now, by answering easier questions, one right
} after the other. We have seen several different variations
} on the "How much wood" question, most of which the Oracle
} dispensed of quickly with a simple "ZOT!" reply.
}
} Alex, excuse me. Won't those answers cost him points with the judges?
}
} They might well do that; however, the question that is
} to be answered during the actual competition, involving
} televised coverage of the Olympics, is not the type of
} question that the Oracle can deal with by using that
} type of answer. So we expect a long answer in competition,
} possibly some type of parody. Zadoc?
}
} All right, Alex, thank you. We'll be checking in with you several
} dozen more times throughout the evening. Now a report from Martha
} Stewart, who has been exploring the site where the Oracle will be
} answering this question. Martha?
}
} Thanks, Zadoc. Bloomington, Indiana, the home of the
} Oracle's Temple. Even the name suggests flowers. I went
} out in search of some flowers to arrange.
}
} Well, it looks like this might be a greenhouse...excuse
} me, sir, where are the flowers?
} "Flowers? What? This is a basketball gym!"
} Basket ball?
}
} The nice man explained "basket ball" to me. I understand
} it's some sort of game, played by various special interest
} groups in this part of the country. But for now, it was
} off to find some flowers.
}
} And we'll have Part 2 of Martha's report coming up later in this
} broadcast. We'll be right back.
}
} The Oracle Answering Your Question is brought to you by...
} Mrs. Smith's pies. Who do you want to hit in the face with
} a pie today?
} And by Thor brand zot staffs. When they say "I'm Thor,"
} it must be Thor brand.
}
} Welcome back. The Oracle doesn't just sit in the Temple answering
} questions all day. With a look at what the Oracle does when he's not
} answering questions, here's Mark McEwen.
}
} Just what does an omniscient being do to relax? He already
} knows the plot of every movie and TV show, not to mention
} every book. And there's only so much napping anyone can do
} in one day. So what are the avocations of the Oracle?

}
} ...CNN Headline Sports. Last night, the Internet Oracle answered a
} question about which American network was showing the Olympics, as
} opposed to the documentary about the Olympics CBS seemed to be showing,
} with a riotously funny parody answer that ultimately led to a
} suggestion to get a satellite dish and watch the coverage from Canada.

} Coming off his medal-winning question-answering performance, the
} Internet Oracle, next, right here on "Charles Grodin."

}
} Welcome back to "Late Night." So, Andy, how about that Internet
} Oracle, huh?

}
} And now, an MTV World Premiere Video. Elton John has recorded another
} new version of "Candle in the Wind," this one paying tribute to the
} Internet Oracle...

}
} ...but he only does that on Tuesday. Zadoc?
}
} Thanks, Mark. Unfortunately, we've run out of time on our broadcast
} tonight, because our affiliates get upset if their 11:00 news doesn't
} start on time, so we'll see you back here tomorrow night for our
} coverage of The Internet Oracle Answering Your Question. Good night.
