Thank You For Asking...........

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

A Mr. Muckluk Sealbop, from Frozen Bag Alaska asks.......
Dear Mr. Knowitall, Did an Eskimo invent the Eskimo Pie?

..."Dear Muckluk, you got home-schooled didn't you boy?
In 1920, a guy named Christian Nelson owned a Candy and Ice-Cream store in Onawa Iowa, A kid came in and ordered a candy bar...Then changed his mind! He then ordered an ice-cream sandwich, then changed his mind again, this went on and on until it made Nelson wonder why you couldn't have a candy bar and Ice-cream together....He then decided to make one for himself, a vanilla bar coated with a chocolate shell. Once he figured out how to make the chocolate stick to the ice-cream, he had to figure out a name for this treat. At a dinner party, some one suggested "Eskimo", cause it sounded cold. But other people said that it sounded too exotic, so Nelson included the name pie"!!!

A Mr. Peter Parker from Cleveland Ohio asks.....
Dear Mr. Knowitall, how do flies walk upside down?

..."Dear Peter, you slept during Science Class didn't you Rip?
A fly has 6 legs, on each leg there are 2 little claws, like a lobster. Under each claw, are a pair of web-like fuzzy pads called 'pulvilli'. These are functional suction pads which the fly presses to any surface it wants to walk on, he can squeeze out enough air to hold itself up. Thus with the claws and the suction pads, it can walk upside down"...

A Mr. Bobbie Zimmerman from Hibbing Minnesota asks....
Dear Mr. Knowitall, can you really tell a tree's age by counting the rings on a stump?

...Dear Bobbie, the answer is "blowin in the wind"...
Not necessarily, In temperate climates, a single ring of light and dark wood are added each year, but sometimes, more than one ring is produced in a growing season, and in severe drought sometimes no ring at all is produced. So it is just merely an approximation at best!!

Mr. Knowitall grows weary.....Thats enough questions for this week, and don't forget the Two Funnest days in Blogdom....HNT, and Friday Flash 55....Get Moving!!!
