Ziggy the Zebra Gets Injured in War, and Consequently Changes His Name to Zyggi the Zebra

Last Thursday, P.A.L.I.N.D.R.O.M.E. officially changed its name to Z.D.Y.D.L.D.E.D.R., except without punctuation or and's (see The Zebras meet with the W.X.Y.Z.), and even more officially declared war on Saas-Khatch-Eehe-Wahan. During a battle practice session last Friday, Ziggy the Zebra was cornered by a famous moose general called Smorgasborg. To avoid getting shot, Ziggy jumped off a 1,000-foot cliff. This tactic worked, but only because when Smorgasborg saw that Ziggy was going to do this, he decided to save bullets. Fortunately, Ziggy landed in a pile of potato chips, which cushioned his fall very slightly. However, Ziggy stilled suffered fourteen broken ribs, a broken spine, a broken tail, a broken nose, two broken ears, a broken pelvis, four broken legs, a broken gluttonus maximus, and a broken heart. He recieved a broken heart because Smorgasborg was his uncle's cousin's sister-in-law. Ziggy was immediately found by Thwak the Yak and was transported to a hospital. The doctors say that Ziggy will be okay, but he will have to wear a Darth Vader suit for the next few months. Ziggy decided to changed his name to Zyggi. The cost of Zyggi's hospital stay was going to be $5,000,000.00, but then Zyggi complained about the costliness of this. "Look, dudes," he said, "this ain't right, this don't go with the nat'ral flow o' things. What was I supposed to do, let that moosy dude shoot me? Is it okay if you dudes bring the hospital fees down a bit, dudes?" The hosptial then brought the hosptial bill down to $4,999,999.99. Then Jak the Yak, Nüt, and Gewaiewfaijwiuhiwfu chipped in, bringing Zyggi's expenses down to $4,999,999.96. Then the more generous Jacob and Benjy put in even more money towards Zyggi's expenses, bringing them down to $4,999,999.86. Then finally, Smorgasborg put in some of his money, bringing the cost down to $4,999,999.36. Zyggi was eccentric when he heard this. "What would I do without you?" he said.
