We should ask Scrooge McDuck on the gold issue.
Oh Scrooge... How I would love to go swimming in a pile of gold like you do.
I'm pretty sure diving into real gold would give you a broken head. Hmmm... maybe Scrooge McDuck's gold wasn't real, either! It's a huge conspiracy!

Speaking of DuckTales, have you seen
Duck Talez? (Made by our very own Chris Ushko!) There are six of them so far, but I don't feel like finding links for them all.
