Modem Mystics
On 08/21/2013 in Question
I seem to habitually have a great deal of difficulty sending and receiving e-mail. Sometimes the web browser will work just fine, but the e-mail program won’t. Sometimes my computer will log off only seconds after I’ve logged on. What’s going on?
———- from Oak O’Conner of Santa Monica, CA
If you were a better person, none of this would be happening. Truly good people never experience any kind of computer problems, much less e-mail log jams. They say that certain mystics can send e-mail without a computer. They just think a thought and it zips across the internet like nobody’s business. Researchers think their modems are highly developed parts of their medullas, using a microwave interface located just behind the nose. Every time they sneeze, the internet freezes up for a few seconds. Fortunately, these mystics are few and far between. Hope I’ve answered your question.

Why, on the show “Scooby Doo, Where Are You?”, did Velma–ordinarily an extremely bright person–become stupid the instant her glasses fell off?

Gas From Food
On 08/02/2013 in Question
Hi, I’m doing a science experiment for the science fair at school. I am trying to produce gas from four foods. I ground each of the following in a food processor: dry and frozen navy beans; fresh & frozen yellow turnips; fresh cabbage and canned sauerkraut. I put all these in a separate test tubes and added one tablespoon of water to each. I then added 1/8 tsp. of yeast to every other tube so that I had one tube with each food mixed with just water and one with water and yeast. I then put a balloon over the top of each tube to trap any gases produced. It has been 48 hr. and no gas has been produced. Will they produce any gas? have I done something wrong?
