• From the myths of dragons to what the opposite of opposite is, we answer 10 of your
burning questions about life.
10 – Why do Guys have Nipples?
- Ted Wigglebottom • Well it’s to make milk, after hitting
puberty guys make their own milk all the time, my milk tastes salty, but you can’t have
any because it’s mine, make your own cheapskate.
• When babies form in the womb they always start as females, but after 60 days the male
genes may activate and pump testosterone into your body, men’s nipples are just a holdover
from their days as a girl.
• If I was a girl before I was born, then why don’t I have any dolls?
• How would you get dolls without being born?
• Through the umbilical cord, duh. 9 - Why Does Your Heart Beat Faster When you
run?
- Ray Ventura PATREON • That’s a sign that you’re falling
in love with exercise, soon you’ll be dating marathons until you eventually get married
and have footpath babies • When you’re running your body needs
more oxygen, so your heart pumps your blood faster so it gets what it needs, exactly how
fast it pumps depends on how fit you are, how old you are, the temperature as well as
a few other things.
• Oof • What’s this… wait, what—?
• Hey… I may be an inanimate ground texture, but that don’t mean I can’t love you
8 - Why does water put out fire?
– Blue Fairy • Water is just really mean, when you put
it on the fire it hisses mean words to the fire until it cries, those tears deplete the
fire until it’s just a bit of smoke in the wind
• Actually water doesn’t put out all types of fires, it depends on what’s burning,
but for your everyday fire made from natural gasses or wood the water steals the heat from
the fire and evaporates into mist, if the fire hasn’t got enough heat it will go out.
• What about a fire made of oxygen?
• All fires are made of oxygen.
• But you just said¬— • What they burn and what they’re made
of are two different things.
• I disagree.
7 - Where did the myth of dragons come from?
- Foxy Is A Dragon C
• Knights that weren’t good enough to kill real dangerous creatures like sasquatches
and drop bears had to make up a super scary monster in order to impress his friends and
it worked perfectly because liars always win - always
• There are many different myths about dragons, sometimes they’re a mixture of two or more
animals, other times they’re just big snakes, but the most likely origin is that various
people found dinosaur fossils and tried to make sense of them.
• Hey Shima, check it out I slew this dragon all by myself—
• Yah!
• Yeah well…
I also slew like 2 rats and they were really big and stuff…
6 - Why is the sky is blue when space is dark?
- Warren Tran • Space is only dark at night, during the
day it’s actually a deep purple colour, but you can’t see it because the sky gets
in the way, that’s why everyone wants to go to space and get a taste of that sweet,
sweet purple *slurp* • Light is invisible unless it hits something
When the Sun’s light hits the sky our air scatters it and changes it into blue light,
since Space has no air it can’t scatter or reflect so it stays dark and colourless.
• But how do you know that light is invincible if you never see it hit something?
• But it’s invisible, Dolan • Well then how can you tell if it’s invincible
if it’s invisible too?
• Because blue pigeons tell us • Oh yeah that makes sense
5 - How did we name the days of the weeks - Tardis Mew Mew
• This has been a question that scientists have been trying to find out for years, the
current theory is that it happened just seconds before the big bang, but at the annual galactic
Q&A I tried to confirm this and they brushed aside my question – that didn’t feel very
nice • The Roman Empire named the days after
the planets, the sun and the moons, then as English speakers we converted it over, but
since it was Old English you get weird translations like Tuesday meaning ‘Mars Day’.
4 - Why Does our Sun Rotate if it does not have an orbit - David Vincenzi
• Each of the planets take turn being the sun, who gets to kick back and not have to
worry about all the effort that goes into maintaining an orbit, it’s totally our turn
now, but he won’t let us because he’s a stinky buttface.
• The sun doesn’t look like it ever moves when you’re looking at it from Earth, but
actually it’s orbiting around the entire Galaxy and it takes it 250-million years to
do so, even though it’s travelling over 800-thousand kilometres-an-hour.
3 - What is the Opposite of Opposite?
• There is none, what you’re asking right now is actually a paradox, but don’t worry
everyone is an oxymoron every time a bit, you just need to Zeno your thinking and it
will make sense once upon a time, but, only in the bedrooooom
• This sounds confusing when you first hear it, but actually if you think about it the
answer isn’t too complicated: the opposite of 'opposite’ is ‘the same’, or ‘identical’.
2 – How do your legs fall asleep?
- thexlizard 4231 • Well they get sleepy holding you up all
the time, so when they think you’re not using them they take a quick nap, and they
give you pleasant tingles but when you rudely wake them up they jab you with pins and needles.
• When you apply to much pressure to your leg your nerves can’t talk to the brain
properly and blood can’t get pumped from your heart very well, so when your nerves
start to return to normal you get tingling and sometimes pain.
• My nerves never talk to me; did I say something wrong to them?
• Nerves don’t actually speak to you; they send signals to the brain.
• What?
So all those flowers and chocolates I got them were for nothing?
1 - are there different solar-systems?
- Liz Lugo • Yes, Planet Dolan is from just next door
to the sun, we have parties and cakes all time, but you’re not allowed because you
refused to eat your Brussel sprouts that one time.
• Yes, many stars in the sky have planets and that makes them a solar system, of course
they can be very different from our own: some have two stars orbiting each other, others
are falling into a black hole and some only have one planet.
