Once upon a time, in a land far far away called "WhenIwasakid", we had two sources of knowledge. The library and this guy, Mr. Wizard.
You are lucky because I am about to answer some of life's big questions that I had to find out on my own. Partly because I don't want you to ask your uncles, and partly because I think you will figure out how to get Google to show you the good stuff at too young of an age.
What is sausage made of?
Sausage is made of all the parts of meat that don't make it into the meat counter, fat, and seasoning. That is why sausage tastes so good. When sausage was invented butchers told rich people that sausage was made of poor cuts of meat and therefore they wouldn't want it. They did the same with BBQ cuts like ribs and briskets. Then they took all the good stuff and made the most delicious food out of it and shared it with their friends. This is why people say they would rather be poor and happy than rich and alone. Because they want to eat delicious meat.
What are hot dogs made of?
The stuff that isn't good enough to go into sausage or dog food. Seriously, it's nasty. It's like SPAM sticks.
Where do I buy fireworks?
Missouri, South Dakota, or anywhere people don't have teeth. I am kidding of course. What I meant was anywhere that people don't have most of their teeth.
When should I root for the Vikings?
Why does behind my ear smell weird?
I don't know, why would I know? What are you trying to say?
Why do most other countries drive on the other side of the road and use the metric system?
That is because we will drive where ever we damn well please and measure how far we go however the hell we want. The founding fathers said if they drove on the left, we will drive on the right. If they they think France sucks, we will think France is good until we have to bail them out in two World Wars only to have them turn their backs on us and never even thank us for not having a German acccent. It all started when we broke off from England and we have had a bad attitude ever since.
By the way, it's scary as hell riding in a car in a foreign country the first time, and even worse when you drive. I also encountered my first roundabout while driving on the other side of the road. It was a tense moment with alot of screaming and relief at the end. I imagine it will be similar to child birth. I lived in Australia for six months and never got used to driving on that side of the road. I would imagine if they ever host a NASCAR even they will only turn right.
(Look! NASCAR Humor!)
The whole measurement thing is worse though. The first problem is that metric makes more sense, and the second problem is that we are at a disadvantage in trade because of it. You will also need two sets of wrenches and sockets. Usually more tools is a good thing, in this case it's just a pain in the ass.
How do I clean a coffee pot?
Mix half water and half vinegar. Run it through several times and then rinse with a few pure water runs. Works every time.
This is important knowledge.
