9) Q: Who handles Brad’s fan letters?
A: Brad answers all of his e-mail fan letters personally.

10) Q: What is Brad's position on the theory that human beings are primates?
A: Brad is currently working on a monograph refuting such a vulgar and preposterous notion. Brad says, "Neither the evolutionists nor the creationists have it right. Just because they're confused over the differences between humans and apes doesn't mean that the apes have to stand for it. We do wish you would stop pestering the Mountain and Lowland gorillas. How would you like it if one day you became an endangered species?"
