Excellent.  The growing pile of responses is just awesome.  Now I'm 
wondering, if you folks could help out further by thinking up "real" 
questions regaring anime, like:

How many Tendo sisters are there?

Why does Hikaru think that she's Kyosuke's girlfriend?

Mucho TIA

Do you get extra credit if you fit though?

You know your an Otaku if:

1.  You can justify blowing off your friends to watch 8 hours of 
Bubblegum Crisis.  (Let's see if I start at 8:00, I'll get done at.... 
what time is it?)

2.  Your T.V. and VCR become close weekend companions at school (see above).

3.  You know where every video/comic store that rents or sells 
anime/manga in the entire county.  For some in the state

4.  You take pride in the number of video store membership cards you have.

5.  These same video/comic stores all recognize you as a regular.

6.  Video store chains offer you a preferred member, regional membership 
video card.  (Hollywood, Blockbuster, etc.  yes I really do have a 
regional card covering a 4 county radius.)

7.  You have either the address or the catalog for every major anime 
dealer in the United States, and quite possibly England.

8.  "Um I dunno" becomes a common response when dealing with questioning 
parents about spending money while away at school.  ("Really books cost 
this much, I swear!")
