Just what The title says. Used to read his triva column in the paper where my parents live but cant find it anymore. Please let me know if I’m spelling his name wrong.
He retired a few years ago. You’re spelling his name right.
Carrots are native to Afghanistan.
Rhinoceroses seldom suffer from hemorrhoids.
Over 3000 people are accidentally defenestrated every year.
He actually came out of retirement for a while, but retired again in August.

L.M. Boyd: Yay!
Maybe he ought to stay retired this time.
Surely, no Dopers take this guy seriously, do they?
I used to, and followed his column for years. I never accepted anything without questions though, but then I don’t with the SD either. As near as I can tell, over the years, his inaccuracy rate has been comparable to Cecil’s, and less than the staff reports. 
I even see glaring errors on that page you reference. For instance, it says “In fact a vacuum cleaner does not suck.” I understand perfectly what is being said in that commentary about air push/pull, but to say it that way is just false.
