Default Zombie Dice 2 Rule Clarification

So, my roommates are arguing about this:

The rules say that the hero dice can rescue the Santa die and vice versa. The rules also state that the double brain on the Santa die is a gift and not Santa himself.

Does this mean that the die itself is no longer Santa and therefore can't be "rescued" (put back in the cup), or that the Santa die CAN be rescued, but you just keep the points from the brains anyway?

It's covered in the rules, actually. The double brains are not Santa, so can't be saved by the heroes.

If the brains aren't on the table, they aren't counted.

So Santa can only be rescued if his die comes up as a single brain. Double brain, helmet, energy drink are all gifts and cannot be "rescued". Right?

Yup, exactly.

Here's a question: If the Hunk is already on the table as a shotgun. Then you grab more dice for another roll. Then you roll the Hottie's brain. Does that count as the Hunk rescuing the Hottie and you put her back in the cup?
Or does the Hunk have to roll his shotgun on the very same roll as the Hottie's brain or any turn after? Basically, does it count as a rescue if one of the heroes are already sitting on the table as a shotgun?

Yes, that's right.
H1 can't rescue H2 unless H2 is there to be rescued.

OK, this one baffles me a bit. When you roll feet, you get to re-roll them to complete three dice. What about the hottie? She has more feet. Does she count as two dice?

More feet? No, she's just wearing heels.

Anyway, the answer is no. One die is one die. Every time you roll, you roll three dice.

Thanks. Settled a bit of a quarrel between a friend and me.
