| subject: | Questions (can YOU answer them?) |
Marilyn Vos Savant, who was once listed in The Guinness Book of World
Records as having the highest measured IQ, writes a column in Parade
magazine in which she answers readers' questions. Sometimes, though,
even she is at a loss. Here are a few of the questions she was unable
to answer:
-How and why do cockroaches turn over onto their backs when they die?
-If you melt dry ice, can you swim in it without getting wet?
-How can a family of three make 27 bags of garbage out of six bags of
groceries?
-I've heard that rabbits have been used to heat houses because they have
a high body temperature and their body heat dissipates very fast
through their long ears. Can you tell me how many rabbits it would
take to heat a three-room apartment when the temperature outside is 7
degrees Celcius?
-Do fish have necks?
-What are the chances of my pistol-grip water-hose nozzle squirting me
in the face when I drop it while washing the car? (My personal
experience suggests that it's 100%.)
