13. SCARIEST MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE? "Maybe getting thrown out of my bed on the Queen Elizabeth II by gale force winds 10 or 12 years ago."

14. DO YOU BELIEVE IN AFTERLIFE? "Pass."

15. FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK? "Where the Wild Things Are."

16. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON? "Autumn."

17. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE HOUSEHOLD CHORE? "Taking out the trash."

18. THE SONG YOU WISHED YOU HAD WRITTEN? "Changing of the Guards" by Bob Dylan. (Black also gave thumbs-up to the new Dylan album.)

19. DO YOU PREFER CATS OR DOGS? "I have both."

20. WHAT'S IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR? "I got an '86 Cadillac; it's chock-full of shit."

21. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE -- INVISIBILITY OR FLIGHT? "I guess the voyeur in me will go for invisibility."

22. IF YOU HAD A TATTOO, WHAT WOULD IT BE? "Maybe a nude of my wife."

23. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DAY? "I don't really buy into that whole calendar thing in general. I prefer just daytime and nighttime."

24. USING ONLY ONE WORD, DESCRIBE YOURSELF. "A Marsist."

25. FAVORITE SONG FADEOUT: (Starting to regain some confidence, I veered off the scripted questions, which meant this query demanded an even longer explanation than the question of "Favorite Day" did. And that's when I reached deep down and pulled out a genuine Chris Farley moment if ever there was one. "Remember when you did the fadeout on 'Number 13' on Doolittle? D'ya remember that? That was really cool.")

Black thought about that for a moment and then said, "Ditto. That's a really good one."
