One day when Anna and I were bored, a few questions crossed our minds. We decided to ask some friends for some insight. These are their answers to the various wacky questions. Some of their replies are rather funny and they are not always correct, either.

1) What is the name of a vegetable or fruit that begins with the letter 'D'?

• Ash: uh...I don't think there is one...is there one??
  • Five Minutes Later: Dill.
  • Two minutes after that: Where is my prize?
  • Two minutes after that: I know another one.....Dukat.
• Blaine: Durian, it grows in Malaysia.
• Patrick: Dried Apricots.
  • Five minutes later: Dates, Daikon, Dill.
  • Two minutes after that: that's about all I can think of - gotta admit the dried apricots was very witty.
• Simon: Darren Blakie.
• Scott: A daisy. Hey, I suppose you could eat it.
• Joe Lightning: D...Doughnuts, of course.
• Mike: Delicious apples?
  • Fifteen minutes later: Isn't there something called dingleberry? That's a fruit if it's real.

2) Why can milk have a blue tinge to it?

• Dave: In all honesty, I don't know.
  • Two minutes later: Unless you're talking about letting it mould.
• Simon: When I'm on crack.
• Joseph: I have no idea what type of milk you are drinking.
• Blaine: I have no clue...I would guess it is what the cow ate.
• Ed: Never blue. What are you, nuts?
• Norman: Who knows?
• Scott: The same reason water can. Light reflects differently. Either that, or it's happy cows that make the milk.

3) Why do we get goosebumps?

• Norman: "Because you walk around...hah...just kidding princess (Anna). "I'm so scary you get goosebumps?" Anna asks. "Yep. Haha."
• Scott: It's caused by the adrenalin you get when you get a rush of a change of scenery.
• Dave: I honestly don't remember.
• Joe Lightning: We get goosebumps to raise the hairs on our bodies and trap air underneath them, to act as insulation, and keep us warm. Of course, we don't have enough hair for that to work, but our skin doesn't know that.
• Simon: I don't know why we get goosebumps, but I have them right now.
• Joseph: Piloerector response. To keep warm, human forebears had fur with muscles called piloerectors for each hair follicle, which caused the fur to fluff up improving its insulatory capabilities. These traits remain in humans.
• Ed: Artifact of evolution, popular belief that goosebumps are a physical response to make us look bigger...used to prop hairs up.
• Blaine: It has to do with being cold...we draw heat (or the little bit of it from the air). Goosebumps increase the surface area of our skin, therefore exposing it to more air allowing it to better draw heat.
