Because you asked, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions about Beans for Brains, the most coveted and sought-after award in the land of the sentient, brain-eating fungus.
Answer: A bean, preferably a kidney bean, but not always. Sometimes it's a lima bean, sometimes it's a pinto. We're not picky. As long as it's a bean.
Q: How do I get a Bean for a Brain?
Answer: You don't. It's not something to be earned. It's something to be given to you by the all-powerful, all-knowing Council of Fungal Elders. You can try asking, but they're notoriously difficult to impress. Maybe try bribing them with a nice plate of baked beans?
Q: Is it true that the only way to get a Bean for a Brain is to solve a series of increasingly complex logic puzzles and prove your worthiness?
Answer: Absolutely. That's why we have a Brain Busters section where you can test your mettle.
Q: I've been trying for months, but I just can't get a Bean for a Brain. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Answer: Probably not. Maybe you're just not trying hard enough. Or perhaps you're allergic to beans. Or maybe you just really love the taste of brains. In any case, try Beans, Wherefore Art Thou for some helpful tips.
Q: Can I get a Bean for a Brain if I'm not a member of the Guild of Sentient Fungi?
Answer: Ha! You think the Guild of Sentient Fungi just hands out Beans for Brains to just anyone, do you? You'll need to apply for membership, and that's a whole other can of beans.
Q: Will a Bean for a Brain give me the power to control the minds of others?
Answer: No. That's just a legend. It just gives you a really nice trophy to show off, and maybe a free lunch at the Fungus & Fungi café.
