Easy? A subjective question like that is as hard as any. That is a very vague question. You're inferring that the fictional character who knows everything would be the most depressed, but there are countless fictional universes? So the question is, which fictional characters are omniscient?

The only truly omniscient being would be God, and that cannot be considered fictional.... that is a debate for a whole different thread. But a "false god" would be the closest thing to the description of a "fictional omniscient character". Only one that springs immediately to mind is the egyptian mythological diety Thoth, the closest thing to fictional omnisicience I can think of. We have to discuss your definition of the word "easy"?

Hmm...that's a bit of a general question. However, when you said depressed, one fictional character immideately came to my mind.

Who is Marvin The Paranoid Android ? from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
If that's not true, than I'm really interested to learn if there is more depressed fictional or real life character hehe.

Got to love this part lol

"I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself into [the ship]'s external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length, and explained my view of the universe to it, " said Marvin.

"And what happened?" pressed Ford.

"It committed suicide," said Marvin.

Heh heh Marvin was funny. I didn't see the new movie actually, but I remember him from the original books. I still have my own personal inside joke that I use from those books. Whenever anyone asks me a question but they don't really ask it, like "Hey, can you answer a question for me?", I usually say "42!"... I've never seen anyone get the obscure reference, and I've never explained why I do it. It's like my own personal inside joke, or you could call it my own personal annoying quirk if you will.

hahaha I know it was a stupid question because it was so general and vague,
just couldn't come up with another question.

and yes, Marvin was the answer I was looking for.
The only way to know the answer is to have read the book....
So if you've read the book, its an easy question. If you havent, its a stupid and weird question.

1pt to Mel.

and I actully made the question more difficult by saying "he who knows everything" because Marvin does not know everything. lol. I should be banned from this trivia right now. I'm sooo evil

[Melkorus]

Hahaha, I didn't read the books, but I saw that latest movie and Marvin was my favorite

Ok, here's one for you,

Puerto Rico, there is supposedly a mythic creature that suck animals dry of blood on massive scale. What is the native and english name for that creature?

[Requiem]

I don't think it's this.. but..

First spotted in Puerto Rico in 1994, the Chupacabra has since migrated off the island and has recently been spotted in many locations including South America as well as the US. Although it was named because of its choice of goat-blood as a meal, the Chupacabra has reportedly attacked and devoured the blood of a wide variety of animals including dogs and sheep. As far as we know, there have yet to be any human fatalities.

American name? Goatsucker

[Dufnial]

[Requiem]

Yay!!!!!!

[Ashjonakk]
