Have you ever had a minor unanswered question, though not even remotely important, you really wish you knew the answer to? For example, I’ve always wondered why western radio/TV stations start with “K” while eastern ones start with “W”. Why were those specific letters chosen? Even Cecil didn’t know the answer.
Why are clowns supposed to be fun for kids? Garish makeup, loud noises, exaggerated gestures… yeah, kids love that from a stranger. Seriously, wtf
Is a hamburger patty a Patrick or a Patricia?
Why are there so many people that hate clowns?
If it’s a hamburger patty it’s Patricia. Patrick would be a paddy.

Why does fridge have a d when refrigerator doesn’t?
Is there a Braille equivalent of sheet music or do blind musicians have to play by ear?

Who does the speaking part in the song “We Are Normal”? It sounds like Bill Murray but that’s really unlikely.
I’m on solid ground with mosey, but I can’t tell between traipse, sashay and galavant.
This is a good one! And where does sauntering and jaunting fit into this?
Why does Max hold a camera on Catfish: The TV Show? (asked in another thread, never got satisfactory answer)
How do radio DJs know just how exactly long to talk before the lyrics start on a song?
Is Goofy a dog or a person?
It’s called “hitting the post,” a skill the just acquire. That instrumental intro is called the bridge: hope you don’t like it for itself.
That’s new to me. Here’s Wikipedia’s definition of bridge:
Here’s mine (at least for today): where’s that Renaissance palace-looking place where the video to TMBG’s “Birdhouse in Your Soul” was filmed inside of? (Here’s the YouTube; you first see it at about 20 seconds in.)
