One has to wonder how closely our views of Socrates, Genghis Khan, and others throughout history match realities of each respective time. Here’s an amusing look at how the Beatles will be remembered in a thousand years:

And I also want to keep an eye on those robots in case they try anything.”

A duly noted point around the Internet: Google will offer interesting search suggestions when typing in common question words – who, what, where, why, when, and how?

We at Blogadilla have the answers to many of Google’s suggested questions and we offer them here in a single convenient location:

Q: WHY IS A RAVEN LIKE A WRITING DESK?
A: Both have (inky) black quills.

Q: WHY IS MY POOP GREEN?
A: Aside from intestinal parasites (which also usually give you violent/aggressive bowel movements), green poop often results from iron supplements, vitamins, and certain pigments found in foods. Chlorophyll (the green pigment in green vegetables) in significant amounts can give you green poop, and anthocyanins (the blue-purple-red pigments in many fruits and vegetables) can also turn vidid green in your digestive tract.

Q: WHAT DOES MY NAME MEAN?
A: Do a search in most baby name books or online and you will come to grips with a secret fact about humanity: over 95% of first names when traced to their original meaning are something like “Gift of God,” “Love of God,” or “Messenger of God.” The remaining 5% are all regional forms of the name “Steve,” which was accidentally invented in AD 1151 as a misspelling of the name “Stuart” . . . which means “Gift of God.”

Q: WHO IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD?
A: The consensus is that Indian actress and model Aishwarya Rai is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Q: HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A GUY LIKES YOU?
A: Even if he sleeps with you, there is still no sure way to tell. However, some good indicators are: remembering your name, returning your calls within 72 hours, he doesn’t introduce you to his family or friends, he is willing to sit through a “chick movie” with you (this is only an indicator if you’ve already had sex; if you haven’t yet, he may just be trying to get laid).

Q: HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A GIRL LIKES YOU?
A: This question assumes that she even knows if she likes you. With some women, this uncertainty can last for decades. Having sex is usually not a good indicator and in fact may just confuse you and her even more.

Q: WHY DO MEN HAVE NIPPLES?
A: The sexes of most mammals are differentiated in a very efficient way: we start early in the womb with “undifferentiated” genitalia (and having precursors to both testes and ovaries). Add a little testosterone and the genitals become male, and the testes remain and the ovaries disappear; the absence of testosterone will cause the testes to disappear, the ovaries to remain, and the genitalia to become female. Though our sex is genetically predetermined, males and females begin with the same general body plan and testosterone (in the womb) makes the minimum number of changes necessary to distinguish the sexes. It is economical to have nipples included in the “stock” human body plan (and to just keep them around in men), rather than undergo a separate process of developing them in women or removing them in men.
