Slate’s “Explainer” lists some of their unanswered questions of 2006. Some of these are damn funny. My favourites:
Can you tell me how long it will take if you eat rat poison to see if it is going to affect you? Please e-mail me back. Because my niece ate some.
and
Do dolphins actually save people? If so, why do they do this?
and
What is the richest religion? Scientology has a lot of Hollywood stars and I think they actually make their members give money, but Catholicism is a very old religion with its own country. Also, Islam has a lot of members but I don’t know about their money situation.
You’re also given a chance to vote for the question you’d most like to see answered in an upcoming “Explainer” column. [via clusterflock]
