• From how the alphabet was arranged to how glow sticks glow, we answer some of your
most burning questions about life. • Hey there, my name is Melissa, I'll be
reading out the questions and answers • I'm Danger Dolan and I'm here to blow
your mind with truth 10 – agentkracko - patreon Is it possible
to be allergic to water? • Not just allergic but its super deadly
even! Very few are numb to its effects, only animals built for the sea or those adapted
to it, like Gooby, can survive it. You know your friend? The one that went to the tap
to drink some water because he was thirsty? HE’LL BE DEAD IN 70 YEARS, ALRIGHT, WATER
KILLS.
• Yes, and it is a condition known as Aquagenic Urticaria and it occurs when water comes into
contact with the skin rather than when it is drunk. It causes hives, which are red marks
that are itchy and are accompanied by a burning sensation. Due to the rareness of the disease
there is no known cause of Aquagenic Urticaria and no known cure.
9 – Alejandro Castellano Why are presidents on money?
• It’s more like a leaderboard for rich people. The more money you have, the more
your face will be worth – like Benjamin Franklin. The hundred dollar bill? That dude
was LOADED. There are some other faces on money but you’ll never recognise them because
they simply just don’t need to leave there homes ever- when you’re that rich you don’t
need to do nothing. • In 1929 it was decided that Presidents
should be on the currency since their faces would be familiar to more Americans. The secretary
of the treasury is in charge of the decision and it was a committee chosen by them that
decided to feature largely Presidents. In fact not all the pictures are of Presidents,
with Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Samuel Chase the exceptions.
• Melissa, why aren’t you on a dollar bill, huh? I-is it cause you’re not important?
Melissa? H-h-hello? • Hey, you’re not on money either!
• Oh yeah? ** You haven’t seen who’s on the 10 Australian didgeridoo dollar lately,
have you? Hmm? Feeling, uh, wrong, or uh…? • You do know making your own currency is
illegal right? 8 – Akron Why doesn’t superglue stick
to the inside of the tube it’s in? • Inside the tube there’s thousands and
thousands of little hamsters, similar to the ones that power the earth, running around
and around and around to ensure the mix inside keeps spinning like a cement truck!! If more
than one hamster ever took a break it would cause the whole TUBE to malfunction and dry
up!! • Aren’t hamsters way bigger than a tube
of superglue? • No. Now… I’m starting to think you
actually haven’t been to Australia lately. Let me tell ya. Things have changed.
• Superglue only becomes sticky once it leaves the tube. It is a process called “chemical
adhesion” whereby the glue is exposed to water vapour in the air and immediately becomes
sticky. So, there is nothing special about the tube, other than it stops the air from
getting in. That is why superglue can easily dry out if it is not properly sealed.
7 – Mistress Adra Why don’t we know exactly when we fall asleep?
• You’re up waiting and waiting for the sandman to finally show and give you the sweet
relief of sleep. He can take FOREVER though sometimes- like hours late!! That’s where
insomnia comes from- you’re just rolling around in bed forever sometimes waiting for
him, he’s always got some sort of damn excuse. ****
OY VEY! I don’t know why people got to drive so slow. Traffic was bananas, I’m telling
you. It’s just one more thing I have to deal with oy, first my back, then this. It’s
just always piling up, more and more I swear. • It is difficult to “remember” the
moment one falls asleep because it happens gradually through a number of stages. Therefore
there is no single moment exactly. The first two stages of sleep are why it is difficult
to remember, for instance during the Alpha stage thoughts become more internal and we
are gradually less aware of the outside world. The second stage known as the theta stage
is where the brain waves gradually slow down but there are moments of Alpha activity. After
this we enter deep sleep. 6 – MitsumiJirachi Why is Uranus the only
planet on it’s side? • The theory is that Uranus was likely struck
multiple times by other planets during the early life of our galaxy. Once the sun and
planets had formed they were colliding with one another. It was these impacts that would
have knocked Uranus into its 97.8-degree tilt and a further impact was needed to create
the moons, since they all rotate at the same angle.
** ** Ahhhh!! DOLAN!! GROW UP!
5 – AshleyTurtle How was the alphabet sorted?* • Oh, well it just so happened that the
inventors of the alphabet were sitting around deciding the order when a hit song by The
Beetles came on. You know the one, it’s the song that exactly describes and incorporates
the letters in a particular order. It was such a sweet tune that it was adopted as the
official sorting. • The reason for the order of the alphabet
is unknown, however, the Latin Alphabet (English alphabet) has its origins in the first alphabet,
created by a Semitic-speaking people from Egypt around 1850-1700 BC. The order of the
alphabet didn’t changed much over its development. The Ancient Greeks used it and added vowels,
and then passed it on to The Latins (who added x, y, and z to the end) and it was used in
Ancient Rome. After the fall of the Roman Empire it eventually became Old English, Middle
English then Modern English. • Hey Dolan care to sing the ABC’s with
me to our audience? • Aw sure thing!

why is it called a light year? • Ahh yes, well a leap year is something-
• No, no Dolan, a light year • Ohh oh, right- so a light beer is a type
of alcohol with less- • Dolan, I think don’t think you understand-
a light year, is what they’re asking • Ah, okay I understand- yeah, no it is
the right year, I mean I don’t know how you could go this long thinking it’s-
• I think you really need to check up on your hearing, there’s clearly something
wrong. • OH YEAH THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG ALRIGHT!
All I hear is CHING CHING BABY! DOLLAH DOLLAH!!! AW YEAH!
** • It is called a light year because it is
the measure of distance for how far light can travel in a year. Robert Burnham Jr. devised
it as an easier way to describe distances in the universe. For instance, the sun is
93 million miles from earth, but it is much easier to say it is 8 light minutes away.
3 – LillyPons15 Why do we have a ‘funny bone’?
• Well people can have multiple funny bones actually! Everyone’s got at least one. But
others can have so many! I myself am made up of 100% funny bones! Muscles, blood, and
organs? Who needs ‘em? I’m all bone baby! This is why I’m so funny, right guys? My
humorous & creative anecdotes, yeah? Gave you a chuckle, aight? Guys?
• The funny bone is in fact a nerve that sends messages from your fourth and fifth
fingers to the brain. The “ulnar nerve”, as it is known, runs all the way from the
neck to the hand and is mostly protected by muscle, except when it passes by the elbow,
where it presses against the humerus. The nerve is only covered by skin and fat and
hence is vulnerable to knocks resulting in a tingling sensation.
• Hey, Mellissa want to hear a joke? Your life!! Hahahaaaaaa ***
2 – Alpha f Bewilderbeast How do the glow sticks glow?
• Glow sticks glow when someone has a terminal illness nearby – oh. Oh.
• * • Have I done everything I want to in life?
My face made it onto money. I’ve made some sweet jokes. I stayed away from water. But
where did it all go wrong? I’ve noticed that I’ve been terminally ill ever since
I started working with Melissa, so— • Dolan. No. Glow sticks use a chemical
reaction, known as chemiluminesence, to create light. This is when two compounds, usually
Diphenyl oxalate and hydrogen peroxide, react together. This causes electrons to release
energy in the form of photons, which are particles of light. These chemicals mix when the glow
stick is bent because the peroxide is kept in a separate glass tube. The colour of the
glow stick depends on the dye that is contained within.
• Now stop being a troll, you know you’re not dying!
• Hey, I said I was terminally ill, not dying.
• What? • Huh?
1 – LizzyTg Why did dinosaurs live before humans?
• They were a test run for humans- clearly they STUNK though, so the designs were completely
scraped and that’s how humans came to be. Because Dinosaurs are utter and total failures!
And fat. Really fat. • Dinosaurs tend to be large creatures and
the earliest mammals that evolved at the end of the Triassic period were tiny by comparison.
They were nocturnal and lived out of the reach of the dinosaurs. These early mouse-like animals
did not evolve into the larger mammals that populate the earth now until the dinosaurs
went extinct 65 millions years ago, when they were able to take advantage of the resources
left behind. Mammals could not compete with dinosaurs for these resources; therefore humans
could not have existed. • Birds are related to dinosaur’s right?
• Well- • Man Mellissa you’re so OLD, all this
time and your still not on a dollar c’mon I mean-
*** OWWW! My funny bone!! ….lol
