Zo is on one of his visits to the National Gallery of Art looking at beautiful artifacts found all over the world. Where are these things found and what ordeal does one go through to collect these priceless treasures? Zo imagines that it would take people with considerable resources, knowledge and grit. He had once read about a famed archeologist who risked life and limb and journeyed to the four corners of the Earth in order to retrieve forgotten treasures in an effort to share his finds with the citizens of the world. Through these artifacts he hoped to enrich the lives of everyday people and teach them about far flung cultures and lost civilizations. There was even a rumor that this archologist nearly lost his life looking for the actual Holy Grail, and that this distinguished gentleman, Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. was saved from death by the efforts of his son, a renowned archeologist in his own right, and their mutual friends. Though Dr. Jones, Sr. named his only son after himself, his son never appreciated the moniker of "Junior" and would rather be known as "Indiana" Jones and this was their last crusade.

Zo is in the 23rd Century (don't ask how he got there; it's not important). The important thing is that he was on a luxury cruise ship the Fhloston Paradise having the time of his life, surrounded by delicacies of every kind and rubbing elbows with some of the most powerful, popular and celebrated beings in the galaxy when, suddenly, the ship was boarded by Mangalore pirates and gunfire was everywhere. Being terrified, Zo found a table in a ballroom that he could hide behind and hope that someone would come along and defend him and the rest of the helpless passengers or that the criminal aliens would just grab what they wanted and go away. While he was hiding a man in a torn and bloodied tuxedo followed by a very skittish galaxy wide famous DJ, Ruby Rhod ,walked passed him. They seemed to know what they were doing. Hopefully, this would be all over soon.

Zo just witnessed the most fascinating news conference: the most famous man in the world: neurosurgeon, rock star, physicist and martial arts expert, Dr. Buckaroo Banzai, had just announced that he and his tightknit crew - the Hong Kong Cavaliers recently perfected a way to cross into a completely different dimension. While in this strange new dimension Dr. Banzai had seen strange beings and fantastic landscapes. Dr. Banzai even captured one of the creatures from this other dimension and brought it back to Earth, but, from the way it looks, Zo believed that it was better to leave the dimensional barrier shut. We have enough troubles right here on Earth; there's no need to invite more trouble from an entirely different reality.

Zo and the rest of the world are negotiating with catastrophe as everyone has to come to accept the unreal reality of the sky falling down. In this case the sky is falling down in the shape and form of a devastating meteor shower. These aren't the normal types of meteors that normally burn up in the Earth's atmosphere; these bad boys are gigantic - the size of Volkswagens and mailboxes. They come from outer space and punch through the globes protective layer like so much tin foil, burning on their way to untold destruction. On impact they punch holes in buildings and send tractor trailers hurling through the air, but this is just a harbinger. The real threat is Dottie, an asteroid of unspeakable size. It's an extinction level event just waiting to happen. The only thing that stands in it's way are a rowdy gang of professional oil drillers with a crazy plan to dig a hole in the ornery space rock and plant a nuclear bomb inside. It's a plan so crazy that it just might work and if it doesn't then it's the extinction of most of the life on the planet. It's means the event that's been foretold in the Bible had come to pass . . . Armageddon.

Zo somehow finds himself on a strange world. He doesn't know if he's on a different planet, timeline, dimension or reality, but the one thing that he knows for sure is that he's not in Kansas anymore! In this place there are remarkable sites: floating forest covered moons in the upper atmosphere, floating mountains, a hovering city. There are strange creatures, robots and a variety of people: winged people fill the skies, tree people haunt the forests, and soldiers in gold and red armor patrol the ground. The different tribes seem to bicker with each other, and Zo is saavy enough to understand that there is an over arching presence that oppresses them all. What they need is a unifying force that could band them together so that they might fight their common foe and free themselves from the tyranny that they all live under. Could the hero with the charisma to unify them come in the form of the New York Jets quarterback Flash Gordon?

Zo goes on a visit to Wellman College to take notes on the lecture being given by the brilliant professor Sherman Klump. The word on the street is that Mr. Klump was on the verge of a breakthrough that would revolutionize weight loss. Zo had also heard that the weight loss would be dramatic and would require one orally administered medication. The miracle drug was still in the animal testing phase and human trials may be years off, but if this were true than such a thing would revolutionize how humanity delt with a whole host of related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. If Professor Klump's discoveries are a bust then he'll just be The Nutty Professor.
