Six Strange Random Questions and Answers, asked by Harvard College Students

Hey there, you! Yes, you!

Do you want to be smarter than you were when you woke up this morning?

If you said, "No", go ahead and slap yourself, because if you really said "No", and you are content with the knowledge you have here and now, I want to slap you.

For the rest of you, the intelligent bunch whom have answered, YES- with enthusiasm and eagerness, you would love to be smarter, THAT IS GREAT! I wish you the best of luck with accomplishing that goal for today, it is a very admirable quality to be driven to improve upon your intellect.

On the other hand, I can share something to help feed that need for knowledge. I am not so sure 'Smarter' is the word I would use, perhaps, informed? None the less- I shall contribute some random tidbits of truthful facts for your entertainment purposed... Thus, I hope you enjoy... If not- Please accept my deepest condolences for misuse of my power to guide you here for an irrelevant read.

Ask me a question and I will tell you the answer- is what my big mouth said in college to a group of know-it-all intellects. The deal was, ask and if I do not know I will find out and get back with you. Why? Well, honestly- I had nothing better to do on a Friday night, and I enjoy finding the answers to oddball questions. So they asked and I now have The Top Six Random Questions and their responding answers, asked by Harvard College Students.

(I hope you are not expecting these questions to hold any kind of sophistication, because that they do not....) 

Q1-Can turtles really breathe through their butts?

A1- Some species of Turtle, which live underwater, can in fact breathe through their butts, specifically during hibernation.

Q2-Do bugs live in our eye lashes?

A2- Why yes, bugs do live in our eye lashes. They are called demodex mites, and they make themselves at home in the roots of your eye lashes. If you were to look at them through a microscope-they look similar to worms, but are actually a species of mites, like dust mites.

Q3-Is there really any danger or harm in picking your nose or eating your bugars?

A3-There is two answers to this question. First is yes, when you pick your nose, you introduce the germs which are on your hands into your body, and the same goes for when your finger makes its way back to your mouth…you could get sick, not from the act itself though. In fact if you cleanse your nose picking finger before it makes its way to your nose, you will probably be able to get some stuff released from your nostril that was not possible with simply blowing your nose into a tissue. If you are gross enough to actually move your findings from your nose into your digestive system, you may be happy to hear that eating your bugars can be a great way to strengthen your immune system. So, all you nose picking bugar eaters…wash your hands before you go digging for gold!

Q4- Why do mosquitoes go for certain people, and not others?

A4- Mosquito’s are attracted to smell and to a persons body temperature, which is logical, considering they are blood sucking insects, but did you know that mosquito’s are also attracted to looks. Yep, it is true- Mosquito’s prefer blondes over brunettes. I wonder if hair dye can fool them?

Q5- If I have a vehicle that has all wheel drive which does not turn off, do I have to replace all four tires when one becomes worn?

A5- It is advisable hat with All Wheel Drive Vehicles, if the tires are more than 25% worn when one tire has a flat; you replace all four tires or risk blowing the transmission. This is because if one tire is brand new and the others are worn, it is working (gripping the road) differently, and your vehicle/transmission can not adjust to the difference, which strains the transmission. Replace all four tires ASAP, just to be safe, rather than sorry.

Q6- Can Strawberries remove stains from my teeth?

A6- Yes, but you should be careful. Strawberries are not only acidic but brushing with the seeds after munching on them makes them extremely abrasive, not only removing stains, but removing enamel from your teeth.

Bonus Question- What are some home remedies for keeping a cut infection free?

Bonus Answer- You can put many of handy household products on a cut to keep it from becoming infected, alcohol-but this will burn, and hurt worse than the cut itself. Next time you cut yourself you can stop the bleeding with Pepper. Black Pepper has analgesic, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties-so after you wash the area sprinkle a little pepper and apply a little pressure and walla…no more blood, and as shocking as it may be…Black Pepper does not burn. If you are more sugar than spice, back off the Pepper and reach for the Honey. Honey is equipped with powerful antibacterial properties that are capable of destroying a wide range of bacteria that commonly infect wounds. So before you wrap up that wound-sweeten it up. No Honey and No Pepper? That sucks, well you can always pee on yourself being that urine is also sanitary and can effectively flush a wound, but you may be a little stinky afterwards.

These questions go to show that just because someone gets into Harvard, it doesn’t mean that they don’t ask some of the same questions we wonder about, but never actually take the time to figure out. I hope that you learned a little something new from your read… If not, I apologize for not helping your intellect, try back later-maybe I can come up with something better at another time.
