June 26Jun 26 Have a good buddy who attended the Culinary Institute of America, so I know this one!C: The number of ways to cook an eggNo, I didn't cheat and ask him. He mentioned it a couple times years ago!!!
June 26Jun 26 ^ I was right. It IS silly. ;-) Also, the "no one knows" answer is also correct since no one really knows how many ways there are to cook an egg. (Actually, I think I have also heard the 'egg' explanation before, I just don't like it because it's obviously arbitrary.) Nevertheless, looks like citytrader is gonna take the cake on this one... (cakes are also a way to cook eggs... and cookies... and meatloaf... and noodles, etc. Probably tens of thousands of ways!) [JB steps down from his soapbox and takes a sedative]

June 30Jun 30 Author Question 153 - NumbersOn average, how many rows of kernels are on a typical ear of corn?A: 12B: 16C: 24D: Never the same
June 30Jun 30 We had corn on the cob about a week ago, and I was the one who shucked the corn, so I got a pretty good look. Thinking back and visualizing, I would guess that there are... [JB stops and visualizes some more.]... I was gonna say 24, but now I think I agree with citytrader and I'll say: B: 16
June 30Jun 30 The key word is "average", so I'll join the others and go with B: 16 because some kernels are quite large and while there might be natural exceptions 16 seems to be an adaptable number of rows. Otherwise it's a guess, although I do seem to remember reading once that it's always an even number of rows for some reason...
July 3Jul 3 Author Correct answer for Question 153 - NumbersOn average, how many rows of kernels are on a typical ear of corn?B: 16And usually about an average of 800 kernels in total. Even if there are not 16 rows, they almost always still have an even number of rows.Now go and enjoy some for the holiday weekend!!Happy 250th Birthday for the U.S.A.!!!!
July 3Jul 3 I have no idea either, but I'm gonna say C: 111, just because. There are more constellations than you can shake a stick at... Why you would shake a stick at constellations, I don't know. But to each his own.
July 9Jul 9 Aaaaand, JB goes down in flames yet again. Oh well, if I can make a few people chuckle now and then, then it's worth playing the fool..... Maybe I was a court jester in a previous life?
July 10Jul 10 Author Question 155 - AnimationIn Disney’s animated movie Aladdin, when we meet Aladdin, he’s running for his life after swiping what food?A: An appleB: A loaf of breadC: A slice of cakeD: A banana
July 10Jul 10 Hmm, I have seen this move (on TV). The most recent time, maybe a year or two ago. I have a vague memory that it was A: An apple?
July 11Jul 11 It's been years, but I remember his giving a loaf of bread to a couple street urchins, so I'll go with B: A loaf of bread.

July 15Jul 15 Author Question 156 - AnimationWhat is Mr. Incredible's job when he is not working as a superhero?A: Advertising executiveB: CookC: Insurance adjusterD: Truck driver
July 15Jul 15 Been a couple of years since I've seen this one, too. I think he's a C: Insurance adjuster. I know it's some sort of desk job.
July 16Jul 16 Okay, I can't help myself...In the movie, "The Incredibles" we never get to see what Mr. Incredible does for a living in his secret identity of Robert Parr. We only get to see what job he ends up with after he's no longer allowed to be a superhero....which is Insurance Adjuster. :^) The idea is to keep an open mind... just not so open that your brains fall out. - Harry Anderson
