in which j.d. answers questions suggested by his referral logs, III

It’s been a while, and God knows I have no life, so I thought I’d be of some use around here and answer some questions for the Googlers and other itinerants.

Because being a MEDIA FORCE in Kansas for four long years (as of 22 June) requires it.

What follows are actual search strings used to reach this site, whether by intent or accident.

  • what if you rub chili powder into your eye — For heaven’s sake, don’t rub your eyes or scratch (i.e., pick) your nose. Wash your hands with soap and water. If you’re handling raw peppers, you’re dealing with capsaicin, a sticky alkaloid resin. Dousing your hand in vinegar can stop the burning.
  • is the law relating to mistake in a state of flux? — This is one of those malaprops like “very unique”. It’s physically impossible to be in a “state” of “flux”.
  • who was the first man to make electricity — Electricity is a naturally-occuring phenomenon that has existed since the beginning of the universe. So, I guess the metaphysical answer to that question is The Man Upstairs™ Let’s give our Googler the benefit of a doubt, though, and assume he meant who was the first person to produce electricity. I guess that would be the first person who scuffed his feet across his bear rug and tapped the other cavemen for a prank.
  • sick of my step kids — They probably figured out that their father married you because you’re 22 and your appendages seem not to be affected by gravity. Get over it, dear.
  • loose asshole — Unlike most of the content of this site, I did not make that up.
  • does evolution cause some impact on our sense of right and wrong? — Once in a great while, I’ll get profundities like this. My short answer is that it logically need not, but for many people it does. This brings a lot of other ideas to the fore that might just go in their own post.
