Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
It’s not entirely clear to this Wall why or how this particular misconstrued notion of anatomy became a popular meme, but perhaps this is where Walls–especially Library Walls–differ from humans. If you’d genuinely like to know more about human anatomy, the classic, of course is Gray’s Anatomy of the Human Body, O’Neill Library QM23.2 .G73 1985.
Perhaps “gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!” or “fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!”? More probably something like a high pitched dog bark: bit.ly/popsci-fox.
No Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument. Horseradish isn’t an instrument either. Well, OK, horseradish can be an instrument: www.vegetableorchestra.org
I provided this answer last week: Wetness is a perception, not an objective fact, and perceptual clues for wetness are actually not so straightforward, as you can see in this physiology article: bit.ly/wetness-perception. So, is water wet? Sorta maybe.

So, is water wet? Sorta maybe. Can fire *be* burned? Though as a wall built partly of flammable material I wish fire could be burned, it can’t. Fire is just the light and heat resulting from oxidation of fuel; there is nothing in fire to oxidize, because fire itself isn’t a substance it’s a process.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself. bit.ly/darth-plaguies-meme
Good work, right? We are given the clue that the lyricist thinks it’s a man (“I’d like to shake his hand”). For the record, Leonard Nimoy did not actually have the answer (bit.ly/NimoyInt)…
