(Pinky) I mean, really, when have I ever been pondering what you've been pondering?
(Brain) To my knowledge, never.
(Pinky) Exactly. So, what are the chances that this time, I'm pondering what you're pondering?
(Brain) Next to nil.
(Pinky) Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking, too.
(Brain) Therefore, you *are* pondering what I'm pondering.

One scheme that worked pretty well on his side took place in an episode when we find out he's allergic to water. His nemesis, a young boy named Dib, starts chucking water balloons at Zim and they vow to settle the dispute the next day. So Dib makes this neat-o gadget which includes a water cooler on his back that is able to create and throw water balloons at the push of a button. Zim, however, outdoes him a bit. From space just above Earth, he has created a satellite that sucks up ALL OF THE WATERS OF THE WORLD, puts it all into ONE GIANT WATER BALLOON, and hurls it directly at Dib. (One of you physics majors might want to tell us what the actual implications something like this would have.) The incident is afterwords known as "The Wettening."
