Question from Karren:  We now know that lead causes serious health problems and that’s why the government outlawed its use in paint.

But my question is why was lead ever added to paint in the first place? What was the reason for adding it?  [Read more…]

Q&A: Why do we always see the same side of the moon?

Question from Danielle:  I have what’s probably a really stupid question.

Why do we always see the same side of the moon?

I was pointing out the “man in the moon” to my 7 year old daughter when I realized he’s always there every time I look up at the moon.

Question from Tammy: I was visiting my mom the other evening and we decided to sit on her back porch for a while.

Question from Marvin:  For years now I’ve been wanting to get myself a used UPS truck and remodel it into a small RV. Those things are so cool!

The problem I’m having is finding one. I’ve looked at every used car dealership I could find and I’ve never seen even one of them for sale.

And here’s the crazy thing – I’ve never seen a used UPS truck on the highway being used for some other purpose (like my dream RV, for example).

I know you’re pretty good at answering questions so I’m hoping you’ll be able to answer these:  [Read more…]
