Hit Me With Your Best Shot.......

If it's Wednesday, it must be time for.....Ask Mr. Knowitall!!!!!

Mr. Irving Schmata, from Brooklyn NY asks.....
"Dear Mr. Knowitall, Where does belly button lint come from"?
Irving...What does it Matter?
OK, Your navel is one of the few places on your body where perspiration has a place to accumilate before evaporating. Lint from your clothing, especially cotton, adheres to the wet area and remains after the moisture departs...

Carl Copernicus from Warsaw Poland asks...
"Dear Mr. Knowitall, is there really such a thing as a Blue Moon"?
Carl, have you ever used an outhouse in January?
...But yes, occasionally it looks blue because of dust conditions in the atmosphere. The most famous widely observed Blue Moon of modern times occured on Sept. 26, 1950, owing to dust raised by Canadian forest fires!!!...

A Mr. Buzz Bisbee of Orange Blossom Florida asks...
" Mr. Knowitall....Are bees really Busy"?
Buzz.....Zip up that stinger and listen up!
In order to fill it's honey sac, a worker bee has to visit between 1,000-1,500 individual florets of clover. About 60 loads of nectar are needed to produce a thimblefull of honey...None the less, in a good season a single hive may produce up to 2 #'s of honey a day--Representing approxamately 5 Million individual bee journey's...Bizzy Bizzy indeed!!!

Mr. Leroy Lipton of Schenectady NY asks....
"Dear Mr. Knowitall, does iced tea, or iced coffee, really cool you off"?
Leroy, if you live in Thessalon Ontario yes!! If you live in Needles California...NO!
Iced tea or coffee contains caffeine which constricts the blood vessels. Because of this effect, either iced or hot, teas or coffee, can cause you to become overheated!!! The same is true
for cola's or Mountain Dew...Or Red Bull or Jager-Bombs!!...Drink juice or water instead!!

A Mr. Jack Russell of Barksdale Ohio asks...
"Dear Mr. Knowitall, does one dog year really equal seven human years"?
Jack......You look just like a guy I know, but his name was Eddie....
...Anyway, the answer is no! It is actually 5-6 years. The average life expectancy of most dogs is 12-14 years....However, most dogs sexually mature in 6-9 months.( especially dogs from Alabama and Mississippi ).

A Mr. Tyler Florence of San Francisco California asks...
"Mr. Knowitall, Why does my 'friends' pee smell funny after eating asparagus"?
Tyler.....Tyler.....Tyler!!
You just haven't been the same since Strumpet wrote that comming 'out' article about you last Summer have you? .....But to finish up here, the odor is caused by an acid present in the vegetable, and it doesn't happen to everybody. Whether you produce the odor or not is determined genetically..In a recent British study, only 43% of the people tested out of 800, had the ability to excrete the 6 sulfur alkyl compounds that combine to produce the odor in their urine...The inherited ability is a dominate trait. If one of your parents has it, so will you!!!

Mr. Knowitall grows weary....Good Night ......and Peace!!!
