A few questions for the wise one...

Here are a few questions that I hope will help me understand the great Wise Turtle a little better (if such a thing is possible for any mortal).
From which country do you hail (I hope it isn't China, turtle soup is quite a delicacy there)?
How did you come to mentor Clay?
How do you use the computer effectively? I imagine it must be tiresome to type as a turtle, but I'd think using a mouse would be even more difficult.
Are all turtles secretly wise, is it just all talking turtles, or is it just you?
If turtles are inherently wise does that mean there is some credence to the old chinese divination method of boiling a turtle's shell to read the cracks that form in it?
Who do you prefer: Confucius, Lao Tzu, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Sun Tzu, Musashi, Machiavelli, Jung, or Joseph Campbell?
Would you rather be forced to assume a human form that you found disagreeable for a thousand years, or live your life bereft of all but the simplest thought for a hundred years?
Why do you not write in your 'Wise Turtle Ponders' forum (or is it simply that we are not yet ready to discover the greater depths of your inestimable wisdom)?
Drunken Boxing or Shaolin Soccer?
