If Today’s Question is ment for today, why isn’t it updated daily?

I presume this is in reference to Today’s Question on the [Straight Dope Homepage](http://www.straightdope.com). “Today’s Question” is usually updated every weekday, I think. I know that Cecil’s new column appears every Friday, and right now “Today’s Question” is still Friday’s column on manned space exploration. I think that a Classic Column (i.e., one of Cecil’s old columns) appears each Monday and Wednesday. If that’s right, then today’s Classic Column just hasn’t been added yet. There is also a new Staff Report every Tuesday and Thursday. These are written by Cecil’s lackeys, such as myself.

Since this is a question about this website, I’ll move this thread to ATMB.

We’ve been having a li’l trouble at SDHQ, I keep tellin’ them not to pour vodka into the computer when it’s being slow, but do they listen? Consequently, we’re running a li’l off-schedule. Normally, Cecil’s newest column runs on Friday; Monday and Wednesday are “classic” columns by Cecil, and Tuesday and Thursday are Staff Reports by the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board (SDSAB), as **bibliphage** comments. So yes, normally, it is updated daily, and we’ll get back to that as soon as we can.

This week will probably be a trifle screwey since last week we didn’t change the home board on Thursday.
