"Gee, Brain! What do you want to do tonight?" Pinky asked.

"The same thing we do every night, Pinky," said Brain. "Try to take over the world!"

"But isn't the world mostly covered by oceans?" Pinky asked. "Why do we need to take over the oceans? There's nothing out there but fish, a few boats, and more fish."

"I hadn't thought about that," Brain admitted reluctantly. "Very well. We shall try to take over the thirty percent of the world that isn't covered by oceans."

"And what about Antarctica?" Pinky asked. "It's covered by water too. It's just that the water that's covering it is really cold."

"I suppose we could remove Antarctica from consideration, as well," Brain agreed.

"And large areas of Africa, Asia and Australia are also uninhabitable," Pinky added.

"FINE," Brain said impatiently. "We shall concentrate our efforts on the forty percent of the thirty percent of land that is arable."

"But most of THAT is productive farmland or protected forest," an unexpectedly knowledgeable Pinky said. "We wouldn't want to risk famine or ecological disaster."

"Can we at LEAST try to take over the CITY!?" Brain asked.

"No," Pinky said sadly. "We can't afford the property taxes."
