RE: You Laugh, You Lose
I still don't understand why it "hurts their feelings". They're cartoon characters, and those images re-imagine them years later, by a great artist. And LPG, stop mini-modding.
Anyways, The reason behind how Xdog's image "reads your mind" is most likely because carrots are one of the simplest and most "popular" vegetables to most people. After the math questions, your brain looks for a simple and well-known answer as quickly as possible, which is why carrot is usually chosen. Not wanting to spoil the fun, just throw my theory out there.
