FACT: The answer to any question can be found online.  It turns out this isn’t exactly a fact.  This was a hard lesson for Adam to learn but he still maintains that he can at the very least come up with the answer to just about anything.  If you don’t believe it, give him a question and try to Stump Adam.

Is Ricky Martin Gay?  (Reader Submitted Question)

 

          See this question is a great example of why all of you should be sending in your questions.  I have to tell you this is a tough question to answer.  Ricky has never actually “come out” and said that his gay or for that matter that he isn’t gay.  He leaves this tough question open to interpretation.  He has given plenty of time, money and energy to gay charities throughout the years and he has openly supported gay right and many gay musicians, however this does not make him gay.  He has also never been married and is rarely seen with female companionship, this however does not make him straight.  So this leaves me in quite the stalemate.  But alas I cannot just leave this question open ended, so I must come to an educated decision on the matter somehow.  So here it is . . . Ricky Martin was in Menudo, he is therefore as queer as a $3 bill, which are quite queer.  Ricky Martin is in fact gay.  There you have it world.  Bring on your questions.  (Source:  Come on look at him)

 

What is the difference between Raw Sewage and just plain old Sewage?

 

Almost always people will say something smells like raw sewage instead of just saying something smells like sewage, so what is the difference, I had to find out.  The proper name for raw sewage is wastewater.  So what is wastewater?  Wastewater is basically any water-based substance that is adversely affected by human behavior and interaction.  Sewage is liquid waste produced by humans often containing feces, wash water, urine, and other fun household excrements.  Sewage is just one type of wastewater or one type of raw sewage.  So all sewage is raw sewage but not all raw sewage is sewage, got that.  I really would go further in depth on this but I think I am going to be sick, if you really want to know read up on it yourself.  Sorry.  (Source:  Wikipedia)

 

How does the old poem “30 Days Hath September” end?

 

          Before you read the answer to this, try to think in your head to see if you remember how its ends.  Ask around and everyone can give you the first part, but nobody seems to remember what comes next.  There are actually a few different rhymes so you can blame your confusion on that.  Here they are:

Thirty days hath November,

April, June, and September:

Of twenty-eight is but one,

And all the remnant thirty-one.

 

or

 

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and [dull] November:

All the rest have thirty-one,

Except[ing] [for] February [alone],

But there is no clear preference for any of the alternative endings, such as

Which hath twenty-eight days clear,

And twenty-nine in each leap year,

or

Which has eight and a score

Until leap year gives it one day more,

or

Which hath but twenty-eight, in fine,

Till leap year make it twenty-nine.

or

Which has four and twenty-four,

And every fourth year, one day more.

 

or

 

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and November;

All the rest have thirty-one, except February, which has twenty-eight, or twenty-nine in leap year.

 

or

 

February has twenty-eight alone,

All the rest have thirty-one.

Except in leap year, that's the time

When February days have twenty-nine.

 

or

 

All the rest have thirty-one,

Though February, it is done

At twenty-eight, though leap one more

Whenever the year divides by four.

 

And there you have it, I’m sure there are even more out there, now the trick is picking one to memorize so you look smart next time someone asks you how it ends.  (Source:  Wikipedia)
