You should ask alt.religion.kibology; they'll be happy to give you
several fine answers which are all different in exactly the same way!
And there is no such thing as a dumb newbie-esque question.
I ought to know, as I've been making dumb newbie-esque questions for
about six years without people catching on!

Yes, any kibologist could (kibology = study of Kibo.) However, it's
most unlikely that we will either tell you, or be kind.

Technically, a kibology = study, worship, and/or hatred of Kibo.

Actually, sometimes the kindest thing to do is to not tell you. It's
just one of those great truths--like what the fourth primary color looks
like--that will make you go INSANE INSTANTLY. I realized this a while
ago when I was watching TV and they showed that color. I think it was
on John_-_Winston's "Science Faction" show, if you don't believe me.

Let's call this fourth primary colour "Fnord". Then if you happen
to be Red/Fnord colour blind there's no problem; everything just
looks red.
What's it like going INSANE INSTANTLY?

What's alt.warlord, and where can I get one? Methinks you mean
alt.fan.warlord. Also, I *am* a what as well as a who.
Now, what's a RATINOX? Sure doesn't sound like the Esperanto we all
speak in this here world of the future, to me! If it were Esperanto it
would have weeeeird accent marks over all the letters, which is why in
the future you never see them using typewriters, because it's impossible
to make accent marks on typewriters.
Hmm, Ratinox spelled backwards is Xonitar, the monster from the remake
of 'It Conquered The World'... I like the scene where Xonitar makes the
piece of dirty cloth wave at the camera. Or was that actually a real laser?

Since I gather that Mr. Parry eschews automobiles, he may not have
been to an office of the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles
lately. If he had, however, he would have been able to see, posted
conspicuously on a wall, an official poster listing phone numbers
that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has dedicated to complaints
of discrimination. There are 6 or 7, each for a different language.
Besides English and Portuguese (the two most popular languages in
the Commonwealth), there's Spanish, Vietnamese (nice diacritical
marks), and ESPERANTO!
The future is here.

Hmm. What's Esperanto for 'bozos'? bosoj?
