As a left paw, I approve of those statements.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

I have finally answered this question!

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

This week I answer Tohr's question about the meaning of the term moral support.

[narrativedilettante]

Qara, I had a question I was going to ask but then I forgot it. What happened to my question?

Dilly, this is an excellent question. I hope you find the answer to be helpful and illuminating!!

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

I am belatedly noting that this week's Factually Deficient post answers Tohr's question about why clouds choose evil, and for the month of May, my Lies About Books feature reviewed Ellen Raskin's classic puzzle novel The Westing Game (which, lies aside, I would quite recommend to people who so like ARGs and puzzles).

This week I answered eli's question about why tank tops are called tank tops.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

Guys! Factually Deficient has been an alive plant for a WHOLE YEAR NOW! To celebrate, this week's post is composed of short answers to questions from Adell, Scarab, Endless, and eli.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

This is a belated note that last Sunday I answered eli's question about why towels get wet when they dry you.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

Did you know that most people only use ten percent of their ears? This week's (slightly belated) Factually deficient explains how that works while answering Pixie's question about answering questions.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

This week I explained what exactly is liquid paper!

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

This week I explain the history of the #hashtag!

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

And (very belatedly) for the month of May's Lies About Books feature, I reviewed Louisa May Alcott's Little Women.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

This week I responded to a trending topic on twitter by writing about #FakeBBQFacts.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

This week, I answer Tohr's question about why dogs are so fascinated by sweaters.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

And for this month's Lies About Books feature, I reviewed Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice.

Why

[Genndy Oda C.O.G.]

I have a question: Why can't we as humans and other assorted creatures divide by zero?

I have a question: Why can't we as humans and other assorted creatures divide by zero?

We can. Everyone can. Doesn't mean everyone agrees, though.

We're told it's not done and undefined and can't be solved... But if you think about it, you can find solutions and approaches and all sorts of fun stuff to do with 0. Depending on which axioms you're following, which something you can play with as well. And who knows? You might be the one to cook up a mathematical proof for it.

Do it and see what you find out!

Shushhhhhh, Pixie, leave the lying to the professionals.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

This week I answered Tohr's question about how fireworks work. Can you believe that people actually believed phlogiston was a thing for many years?

[narrativedilettante]

Qara how can you suggest that phlogiston is not a thing? Without it how would heat ever travel through the ether?

[Endless Sea]

Torsion fields.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

This week, I answered Scarab about human eyes and seeing red as blue!
