Ask Master Splinter

Come seeking knowledge, stay for the sushi.
Probably not. My options are especially limited, not just because I am a giant rat living in the sewers but also because I am a single parent of four. It might be nice to settle down one day, but at the moment there are more important things to focus on.

I have never had the opportunity to use any of the digital readers you have mentioned, though Donatello did manage to make something similar out of some boombox parts and a few old pizza boxes. It seems to work remarkably well; it has Amazon, Angry Birds, everything.
To tell you the truth I am something of a technophobe. You would not believe how long it took me to swallow my pride enough to get this Tumblr, so I doubt I will be getting a Nook any time soon.

Depending on the temperature in the sewer, I will occasionally sleep without my robe. As a man-sized rat, my body temperature averages out to be higher than it was when I was human, thus I have to find ways of compensating.
Not that I generally have much to compensate for. As a ninja master, I mean.
Also, an announcement: due to the unexpectedly large number of questions I have received, I will have to begin skipping over the ones that are either redundant or just more thinly-veiled attempts to see me without clothes on. Honestly, my sons, I am an old man…

Yes, anal chaffing is a problem which many suffer from, and is no joking matter. You have much courage to raise the issue here before so many. You have my utmost respect.
A diet high in fiber may be just what you need to improve your condition. Also, applying some talcum powder to the area may prevent chaffing. There are creams available, as well.

I am starting to notice a pattern with some of these questions. Hrm.

I am beyond such things as carnal desires, thus my sexuality is entirely irrelevant. However, I have no problem with gay people. As long as they are happy, I am happy for them.
Entirely unrelated: Donatello, if you are reading this and you ever want to talk about anything, feel free to come see me at any time. You will always be my son no matter what.
Like I said, though, entirely unrelated.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have heard of Homestuck. I had intended to read it at some point until I discovered just how daunting a task that would be. I often spend hours reading books, true, but somehow the idea of sitting at this computer constantly waiting for updates to a story just seems… sad.
No offense intended, my son.

Although I am well aware of the health benefits of brown rice, I typically choose white for its superior taste and texture. While I do adhere to a strict regimen of exercise and meditation, I’m not exactly what you would call a “health nut”.
Perhaps this is best exemplified by the way I allow my sons to eat pizza every meal.
Also, I would like to thank everyone for their many interesting questions. It will take me quite some time to answer them all, but I must grant wisdom to those who ask. Unless you are just asking about my sex life. I am afraid I might have to skip such questions, not out of embarrassment, but rather… for lack of anything to talk about.

As someone who watches a lot of TV I have to say that I have no idea what you are talking about. As far as I know, whatever conflicts exist between both nations are not related to racism.
Also, Eastern philosophy is best applied to vague, general questions about life, not far-reaching political issues. That is why you seldom see an enlightened man running for office.

Ask your parents.
Long have I dreaded the day when my sons would pose this very question. I’m hoping they just sort of figure things out on their own. It’s not like very many girls are interested in dating giant mutant turtles, anyway. Or rats, for that matter.
I mean, maybe Irma, but she’s what my sensei called a “practice girl”.
