    More questions:

    Will Dr. Ramano will show up this year at
    Burning Man? Will they need to call it
    Burning Surgeon? Will he stop off at Reno
    to play the one-armed bandits?

    If we changed Marilyn's name, would there
    be any end to the wordplay? {Marilyn
    vos Savant, but then she took zee druks,
    and after zat, she vos wery schtoopid...}

    Is there something deeply wrong with Michael
    Crichton, that he gets some kind of perverse
    pleasure from causing suffering and grief to
    fictitious characters? {Damn that guy.}

    What is the etymology of the term "squicked"?

    If lightning never strikes in the same place
    twice, and your lightning rod gets a hit, should
    you throw it away? Do you need to get a new one
    to replace it? How do the later lightning
    bolts know which places are already taken?

    What is the origin of the term etymology?

    What was the first game ever invented? What
    did people play before that?

    If a watched pot never boils, and mass-energy
    is a conserved quantity, into what form does the
    energy of the fire under a watched pot go? Could
    you use a pair of fake eyes to fool the pot into
    thinking it is being watched?

    In a society that gets all squicked and starts
    passing laws forbidding teens from their tongues
    surgically split, why do we routinely whack off the
    tip of the newborn's penis? Presumably against
    the infant's will?
