Careful, kitty! Someone said someone let the dogs out!

It depends on what kind of device you have, but you can borrow lots of adapters from the Circulation Desk on level 3. If you’re facing me, turn around and you’ll see it.

44 million fans can’t be wrong!

Wash your face! Too many people think just a splash of water in the morning is enough, but most dermatologists recommend a gental daily cleanser like CeraVe or Cetaphil. Gental exfoliation may help too, using a scrub once or twice a week or spot treating with salicylic acid. But before trying anything harsher, definitely check in with a licensed dermatologist. They can help you find a more personalized routine, since as a wall I’ve only got a theoretical knowledge of how skin works.

Album score is Sean 4 (3 platinum, 1 gold) v Frank 3 (3 platinum, one of which won a Grammy). Frank’s got more number ones. So I’d say on that score, Frank by a nose. But it really comes down to which *you* like. Unlike sports, music isn’t really a competition.

No, but I think I’ve met the man he grew up to be?

I’m sorry, but no. I’m a Wall. You could probably benefit from physical therapy. I recommend seeing a doctor, and finding out all possible options. You have my deep sympathy. You know the first thing proto-humans said when they walked upright, right? Ow, my back!

I feel lonely sometimes late at night when there’s nobody around, and the stress of holding up this building sometimes gets me down. It’s good to reach out when that happens. If you can’t find someone here, look up some old friends and give them a call. I’m sure they’d love to hear from you.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I will have my library assistants test the cables and replace those that are not functioning.

It must be confusing, all these Eagles in your life. Up here, we call them Eagles. They’re no mere birds. Go, Eagles!

Hair loss could have many underlying causes, many of them genetic and irreversible. (More info: bit.ly/mayo-baldness) Even treatment for reversible hair loss has only had moderate success. A particular type of hair loss (alopecia areata) occurs starting in childhood, and is the result of an otherwise benign autoimmune disorder. A recent review of the literature (bit.ly/bc-alopecia) found moderate success with some treatments for this condition. Embrace who you are! I think many bald humans look wise & sophisticated.

It’s salad with too much dressing.

Here’s my answer from April 2017: According to the Poetry Foundation, a woodchuck would chuck “As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood.” (bit.ly/woodchuck-poem) Researchers at Cornell determined that a woodchuck could chuck about 700 pounds: (bit.ly/cornell-woodchucks). “Compared to beavers, groundhogs/woodchucks are not adept at moving timber, although some will chew wood. A wildlife biologist once measured the inside volume of a typical woodchuck burrow and estimated that — if wood filled the hole instead of dirt — the industrious animal would have chucked about 700 pounds’ worth.” Additionally, though, how much wood could a wood duck duck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

It’s hard to say. While the NFC East seems to be up for grabs even though only three games have been played, a lot can happen between now and the playoffs. It will be really interesting to see how the Cowboys play against teams like the Saints, Patriots, Vikings, Bears, and Rams. I bet Cowboys fans would be thrilled to win another Super Bowl, especially after division rivals have managed to get three since the last time Dallas won it.

I’m sorry you feel so sleepy. I’ve noticed my human friends all need to become unconscious (often horizontally) for a significant portion of each day. Though I’m curious what it would be like to be horizontal (a floor? a ceiling?), I am a wall, and therefore permanently vertical. I strongly encourage you to become horizontal and unconscious for as long as necessary to remove the sleepiness.

Hi Chad! ? ?

That’s a Big Question that legions of philosophers and theologians have wrestled with for millenia. There are two distinct meanings of “reason.” If you mean “purpose,” the answer is maybe? If you mean “cause,” yes. Every event involves other events. While humans (and animate walls) have motives and purposes, inanimate objects do not, so on one level, some events (caused by inanimate objects) have causes, but no purpose(s). There are those who ascribe purposes of events to higher beings; that would be a matter of faith. If you are wrestling with this question because of an unfortunate event, and you are religious, I recommend meeting with someone at Pastoral Counseling: bit.ly/bc-pastoral-counseling. Or, if you’d prefer, someone at UCS: bit.ly/BC-counseling.
