Wisdom has not made me a stranger to delegation. I am only omniscient, not omnipresent.

I count eight questions but I shall couple the ones about grass and the sky:

1) Actually, things that taste horrible put weight on you too. It's a law of physics called the "Conservation of Matter." Try this little experiment, weigh yourself holding a five-pound ham, then weigh yourself without the ham. You should weigh less! Now eat the ham and weigh yourself again. Remarkably, you should weigh exactly as much as when you were holding the ham. You see, that matter's gotta go somewhere.

2)Refer to answer 1

3)He should not. A Johnson is a very touchy and quarrelsome horse, they are full of spirit and they do indeed need their exercise, but they should not be kept in a paddock. They should be kept in a stable.

4)Very simple. Let us review a few simple facts.
a-Men are the biggest boobs there are
b-Men are obsessed with themselves
Do I need to sum up the logic for you?

5a)Grass is actually yellow, but very reflective from all of the water it contains, so the blue tint comes from the sky it reflects. The mixture of those two colors, of course, creates an illusion of green. Take some grass inside and after a few days the illusion will fade, and you will see that it is yellow.
(Note:some grass even while outside appears yellow, this is due to dehydration, which causes the grass to loose its reflective qualities. Do an experiment!)

5b)It is due to the angle which light reches us from the sun, and is refracted by moisture in the air breaking up the spectrum of said light. When the angle changes so does the color, which is why sunsets turn the sky into more of a red. Just as a point of interest, when the sun is exactly in the middle of the sky, and its light is hitting the earth straight on for a very brief moment the entire sky is a very rich green. The moment is too brief to be caught by the human eye, but you can catch it in slowmotion if you film the event.

6)We will never reach our eternal destination. It is a matter of interpreting infinity. Time will always march on, and we will always be dragged along with her. Forever. Always. It is tedious, but predictable.

7)If you ask that again, I'm turning this car around, and we're all going back home.

It is a white rectangle with a red "X" inside. To the right of that it says "image." I suspect, however, that I am not able to view the picture as you would like me to view it.

What? No... I was going for the "period" and, uh, I must have hit the wrong button...

...while accidentally holding shift.

Yes. An elk. The answer is an elk, I'm sure of it.

No, you may not have a soda. You've been bad. Bad like... a JACKALOPE!

Besides, willow, you only need an IQ of about 300 to technically know everything, and my IQ was a good 370 before I lost those points.

(I say "Only" because while such a score is very high, it really doesn't seem much higher than the average score of 100)
