"Let x equal the quantity of all quantities of x..." -- Proof by David Auburn
Five points to anyone who can name the sources of all five pop culture references in this article.
OK, I'll give it a try...
* Eddie Izzard's Church of England Fundamentalists ("Cake or death?")
* Amy Winehouse - Rehab.
* Goldfish/laser joke from Robert Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
* "Where is your God now?" from The Ten Commandments. But let's face it, you were more likely quoting the Simpsons. Or maybe 4chan!
* The old riddle about "If a Rooster lays an egg on the peak of a sloping roof will it roll left or right?" (A: No, because Roosters don't lay eggs.)
Admittedly that last one I technically haven't sourced... does it have a known source?

My Lunk Errant attacks, and I make a token with Militia's Pride. My friend says my Lunk Errant won't get the +1/+1 and trample bonus, but I think it does. Who's right?
A: You are! Your Giant might have a Kithkin buddy tagging along, but the Lunk-head was leading the way. His ability triggers when attackers are declared if he's the only one attacking, which he was: the Kithkin Soldier token was put into play attacking, after attackers were declared.
That confuses me, from your explanation the friend is right. But you said he's right. I are confused.

5th is just a guy snapping his fingers. Maybe Nicol Bolas can get mana that way, but I can't.

Since the +1/+1 ability is triggered, it will go on the stack, as will the Militia's Pride ability. It doesn't matter which goes on first, so the Lunk Errant's ability will have already triggered before the second attacking creature is added.

You should read them.
