Good day, fine nations of the world! The Republic of Roach-Busters has just begun construction of a new zoo called, 'The Zoo of the World's Weirdest Animals.' So far, we only have two animals, which are male and female feather-bellied naked mole rats. We wish to purchase strange animals from whoever wants to sell them. The price is yours to name. And citizens from all over the world are welcome to attend the zoo. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for seniors, $1 for ages 0-17, and $10 for groups of five or larger. Thank you for your time.

Please note, the stranger the animal, the more I will pay! Thank you!

How much for a pair of Capacity Exceededs?

Cherubs are not for purchase! How dare you propose to enslave our frolicing cherubs? (Zoogiedom)

Dragoons are for sale, but we take no responsiblity for any damage to property they may cause.

I will purchase 2 Capacity Exceededs and 2 Dragoons (1 male and 1 female of each species). Please name your price.

How much would you pay for 3 annoying smilies (1 male, 2 female)?

Would you be interested in purchasing a few of Ferratus's Phoenixes?

I would pay $25,000,000 for each annoying smile (but I'll pay more, if you want).

DGNT has Horribly Mutated Things...
Well sell you four, for say, G1,500 each, since there are so few left.
They dont really have male and female...they sort of...y'know...err...nevermind.

I would like 1 male Phoenix and 1 female. Thank you. Please name your price.

Hmmm... 50 million for the two Dragoons. Note that you are also responsible for food and storage.

Well, I don't have any, but do you want some demons, cause I could get you some . . .

Money wired, Tyrandis. Thank you. DGNT, I would like 2 Horribly Mutated Things. Money wired. Thanks.

I'll buy 2 demons (1 male, 1 female) for a total of $50,000,000, unless you'd prefer a different price. Thank you.

My nation is one of many fairies, let me know if you would like any.

I'll buy 2 fairies (name your price). Thanks.

I would pay $25,000,000 for each annoying smile (but I'll pay more, if you want).
Okay, $75,000,000 for three annoying smilies. We will send :evil: :twisted: 8) when the money is wired.

My nation is one of many fairies, let me know if you would like any.

We'll sell our world famous Dragon Killing Monkies for a buck a piece-we hate the environment.

50,000,000 for each fairy sounds good

we have Indigo Panthers, previously known as black Panthers, before some 3 year old pointed out that they where actually a rather dark Shade of Indigo. they are Unique to Southern UKN and the Oai Island Chain.

I'll sell you a Wibble.

Done, take care of them, and dont feed 'em after midnight...

I am willing to sell you 2 male and 2 female Himalyan Yeti's. I would normally charge more to have my hunters catch them, but since I like your cause then the entrapment of your Yeti's shall be free, if you wish to purchase my offer. Thanks.

All right, N00b 13373r5. Money wired. Thanks. Vinyls, I'd like to buy 2 fairies from you, also (name your price). And Fluffywuffy, I would like 2 of your Dragon Killing Monkies; the price is yours to name. Thank you all, and good day.

Will you take a One Eye One Horned Flying Purple People Eater? They are nearing endargement. Perhaps putting them your zoo would created a better future for them.

Okay, Vinyls. Money wired. UKN, I would like 2 Indigo Panthers, Praetonia, I would like a Wibble, Dancing Moose, I will buy your Himalayan Yetis, and Redleningrad, I'd like a One Eye One Horned Flying Purple People Eater. Thanks, everyone. Please name your prices, and I'll wire the money promptly.

Okay, Vinyls. Money wired. UKN, I would like 2 Indigo Panthers, Praetonia, I would like a Wibble, Dancing Moose, I will buy your Himalayan Yetis, and Redleningrad, I'd like a One Eye One Horned Flying Purple People Eater. Thanks, everyone. Please name your prices, and I'll wire the money promptly.

$15,000,000 a Panther, because they are so Damn hard to Catch.

((D-post))

5 Mill a 'piece' for the Yetis....

$30,000,000 has been wired to the United Korean Nations. Thank you.

$20,000,000 has been wired to Dancing Moose. Thank you.

The fairies have been sent, just make sure they don't turn any of the other animals into queers

(shudder) I'll be careful, Vinyls. Thanks for the tip.

The Punkass Dove is rather untamable. If you put a couple in a zoo they will most likely spark a revolution amongst the animals.

The blessed Concrete Donkey (PBUH) is NOT for sale. Your cavalier attitude regarding the Holy One has been noted and will cause severe difficulties in any future dealings with your nation. Why, just the thought of someone wanting to put a price tag on the Concrete Donkey (PBUH) is enough to have me execute 100 peasants using nothing but a pair of safety scissors. As a matter of fact, the Concrete Donkey (PBUH) desires it, so His will be done.

We would still like 2 Punkass Doves. Name your price. We will take extreme precautions.

since we have strict export control laws on the phoenix, it will take some doing to get two of them to you, but i think we could to it for, oh, say 15,000,000

Please come pick up some of our overweight, large clawed, lard belly hairy faced seagull dogs for $10 for 10 :shock:

$2,000,000,000 for a Wibble, as none of our scientists have yet managed to dsicover what one is, even though we have 8,000,000,000,000,000 living in one shoe-box (they are 10m long and 2m wide)

i will give 5 yoshis(2 male,3 female)
For 50,000
Facts about the yoshis:
when threated yoshis tend to swallow their enemys whole
Favorite food the apple
Enviroment any

While The Serene Republic of Andolai has forbidden trafficking in the albino gnu, we would be most amenable to an exchange program in the interests of furthering diplomatic and cultural ties. If you have an animal that you feel would be of interest to our public (and would be comfortable in our mild climate), then please feel free to communicate with us at your earliest convenience.

ill sell one female masamune and a male for ten billion a peice
a masamune is a living weapon aka a mutated dragon

Here is a pair of Dakaran Artic llamas for free...have fun

I will sell you 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 rabbits for $1. They are becoming a major pest problem.

I'll give you all the republicans you want (and maybe even a feather-bellied republican) for say. . .10 dollars.

Quetsch would love to share two of it's most beloved national animal, the badger-snouted schnurp, with your organisation for mere 10.000 herrings. A male and a female, come complete with one oversized basket and a chewing toy which makes funny squeaky noises.

Scientists estimate the One Eye One Horned Flying Purple People Eater's worth at 5, 000, 000 due to it's rareness, but we would be willing to sell two to you for 4 Million so long as special care is taken to preserve there species.

We'll sell you 200 xenomorph (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Corridor/3119/) eggs for 200,000. Four queen eggs will be included in the price. You'll have to provide hosts yourself; any mammal the size of a doberman or larger will do. Humans and great apes work best. We highly recommend you take the absolute strictest precautions to keep them contained, as they breed incredibly fast, kill without restraint, and are dangerous even in death due to their acid blood.

You might want to keep a few nuclear weapons at your zoo. If the creatures escape, you'll want to cauterize a few square miles around their pen.

click the ecology of klatch. and this is still under construction.... A sfari trip is planned after the latest attempt at invasion has been seen off.

The skaven race is abundant in o-so many mutated...things....
We can offer you rat ogres, they are a mixture of rats, ogre, and metal
http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/skaven/catalog/rat_ogres.htm
there is also giant rats, basically rats the size of wolves and cats
http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/skaven/catalog/giant_rats.htm

We are willing to sell two of our Great Cthulhus for a reasonable price.

Ferratus, is that $15,000,000 total? Or $15,000,000 per phoenix?

I'll buy 100 Wibbles since they're so small. $200,000,000 has been wired. Thanks.

I'll take two Phoenixes for $15,000,000. Unless it's $15,000,000 per Phoenix, in which case I'll wire $30,000,000. Thanks. And Bildtia, I'll take 10 seagull dogs for $10.

I'll buy 2 rat ogres. Name your price.

I'll buy 5 Yoshis. 50,000 has been wired. Sephiroth, you drive a hard bargain, but oh well, I'll take two Masamunes (1 male, 1 female) for 20 billion. Redleningrad, I'll take two of them for 4,000,000. I'll accept your offer for the two badger-snouted schnurps. Money has been wired. I'll buy 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 rabbits for $1. Money wired. And ten Republicans for $100. Money wired. Thanks, all.

We have some Not-Dead Parrots, we swear they're just sleeping!

I recommend the vampire hassen. fans of monty python who know the linnaean system of taxonomy well will find it amusing.

I'll take two Not-Dead Parrots and two vampire hassons. Please name your price.

$200,000 per, we swear we didnt just nail their feet to the plank!

A Kelonian Guinea Pig is like a regular guinea pig, only around the same size (height-wise) as a mid-sized dog, around 3/4 the size of a labrador. If this is unusual enough an animal for you, prices range from $300 to up to £1,200 for a pedigree Tabor guinea...

We'd be willing to sell you as many or as few as you like, but no less than four, as they get lonely.

We will loan you a mated pair of feather-bellied Grass Newts, a cousin to our Swamp Newt. The Swamp Newt is not permitted to leave the holdings of the Empire, as they are a sacred animal. However, the Grass Newt is not held in such esteem by our peoples.

They will have to be returned to their native lands after a time, though, so that they may continue their line. 2 years should be sufficient time for them to be out of our lands.

We can sell you our Dust Bunny Dragons, they were given to us as a gift. We have a male and a female. How much are you willing to pay?

The national animal is JiangGuo is the Godzilla.

The (average) height of our full-grown Godzilla is between 80-100m tall and can has a mass of approximately 66,000 tonnes. They would be extremely difficult to contain and feed.

Despite being our national animal, the Godzilla population is also radically kept under control for obvious reasons. :roll: (Think scenes from Godzilla films) We'd be willing to give away six of these creatures FOR FREE. Provided you purcahse the production right s for our unique containment system for $1B. :twisted: :D :lol:

JiangGuo

We have an animal called the clara. It is in it's netural state a silverish reflective shade and shaped somewhat like an anorexic cat that has cloven horse-like legs and feet. It also has large blue-violet eyes and rabbit-like ears. However it will only appear in it's netural form when it feels comfortable, otherwise it uses it's special ability to blend into it's enviroment. You can have as many as you want we have too many.

We are willing to sell you two Memau, one male, one female, for 1 million credits. This high cost is due to their danger, as they can infect innocents and incubate inside, eventually turning into a hideous, black, insect.

I'll buy 2 demons (1 male, 1 female) for a total of $50,000,000, unless you'd prefer a different price. Thank you.

i got dog demons!!!!!

Although not Cax's national animal, Cax is infested with Gabberbocchi Videturfrigidus. They are huge, 7m high, lanky reptiles, with long arms, legs and claws to catch. They have massive biting jaws and teeth. They are free. Please take two, as they have already eaten 17 zookeepers, their pointy sticks, 3 grenades and a missile launcher. They will need to be kept in irons. Big ones. They'll eat most things.

We'll give you a pair of Giant 50-ft Spiders as a gift to your nation.

We are prepared to offer three mated pairs of kwyjibo, guaranteed fertile. However, this priviledge will not come cheaply, and we reserve the right to reclaim our kwyjibo should they be mistreated, should we gather the energy to care.

my animal is "the schnoop" :D

I'll take 2 of all your animals (1 male, 1 female). $50,000,000 has been shipped to each of you. If that's not enough, more will be wired promptly. Thanks to you all, our zoo will be a success! You all are invited to the grand opening, free of charge.

We will sell 2 of our n00bs for $20 Million. Both will be male, if you want a female one, make the order $50 Million.

$50 million has been wired to the Former Soviet Mafia. Thanks.

Muktar's national animal is the temporary worker.

I'll take 2 of them. $50,000,000 has been wired. More will be wired if that is not enough.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: That is enough strange animals. Thank you all very much. To every nation that has offered an animal but has not received a reply: I will accept your animal, for $50,000,000 or more. Money has been wired to all of you. Thanks!

Offer accepted.

OOC: Am I to understand that I offered to sell some creatures for $200,000 and received $50,000,000?

What about my mitochondria? 38 ATP a piece, you think? That's equivalent perhaps to $38...but, the precious sites of respiration for almost all life comes at a price...or perhaps you want to strike a deal, hmm? If you want the precious giver of life, it'll cost...DNA, ribosomes, electron transfer chain, all included.

Actually, the cost will be $2,000,000,000 per mitochondrion. If you want glucose to be broken down by glycolysis before you get them to the zoo, that'll be a further $500,000,000. Sorry, but a sacred animal, and they must eventually be returned. They must be treated well at all costs. We'll send you the Mitochondrial Texts on treating mitochondria. Disobeying the texts will bring bad luck...obeying the texts has got my people freedom and harmony for many millennia. Each mitochondria should produce 38 moles of ATP into your economy for every visit by someone with some glucose and some ATP, NAD and FAD.

We got dragons and well sell you 6(3male & 3female), they abound in out lush forrestes :wink:

How about some of our mutated Felinus Sapieniidogs? :)

well our national animal is the clown.....theyre pretty strange...if u kno wat i mean *cough* anyways we would be interested in selling these clowns to you.....WARNING clowns may make children cry and do end up being psychopathic killers, as seen in some movie i once watched......but im getting off track....Buy our Clowns!!!

Are angels from heaven good enough?

pfft...angels from heaven are easy to come by....now funny clowns, theres sumthing u barely ever see...doesnt happen everyday

Actually, the cost will be $2,000,000,000 per mitochondrion. If you want glucose to be broken down by glycolysis before you get them to the zoo, that'll be a further $500,000,000.

OOC:

Ha! Undergrad level biochemistry. You forgot to mention the other ATP released in the electron transport chain. I prefer prokarotic bacterial anaerobic respiratory metabolism of glucose (as it produce ethanol, which is much more profitable).

JiangGuo :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Want any of our Feathered-Belly turtles?
Or TurtleDogs?

Roachbusters, you should keep my n00bs on a short leash, you never know, they might get n00kz all of a sudden.

I'm aware I forgot to mention the other Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. Particularly so...reduced NAD passes electrons into the electron transfer chain, oxidising the reduced NAD into NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). An electron carrier picks it up (Flavine Adenine Dinucleotide) and then becomes a reduced electron carrier. This creates ATP. The electron is passed along to FAD again which is reduced, the first reduced electron carrier now no longer reduced. This creates ATP. It happens at least once more, and then protons, electrons and oxygen combine to form water.

The electrons transferred to the cristae of the mitochondria provide energy for the active transport of hydrogen ions which diffuse into the inner mitochondrial membrane. Then, this creates a large hydrogen ion gradient which causes them to move back out - but the only route is through an enzyme that spans the entire membrane. This causes the hydrogen to attach Pi groups (phosphate) to ADP (Adenosine Di-Phosphate, or Adenosine with two phosphate groups), creating ATP.

4 moles of ATP are produced per mole of glucose during glycolysis.

1 mole of ATP is produced per circuit during the Krebs Cycle.

3 moles of ATP are produced per mole of electron pairs transferred by reduced NAD to the electron transfer chain.

2 moles of ATP are produced per mole of electron pairs transferred by reduced FAD to the electron transfer chain.

In total, based on all the reactions in aerobic respiration, 38 moles of ATP per mole of glucose are produced.

Care for me to elaborate on the whole of photosynthesis and respiration? Can do it right now from memory if you want...or, you can pay me $1,750,000,000 for my mitochondria and $490,000,000 for the glucose for glycolysis. Fair? 100 mitochondria should do the trick, put them all in zoos or safari parks. I reserve the right to recall them should they be mistreated or hunted or anything such. Plus a fine of $100,000,000,000,000 will accompany it should they be mistreated in any way.

Are ancient gods good enough for your zoo?
