Maybe because she has a sony computer, maybe because she is a librarian, maybe because she is always making me cookies and maybe because she is your sister.

Braille Olympics
Kelle Asked:
Dear Mr. Incredible, Flynnigan Rider, Eugene Fitzherbert, Dr. Einstein (or was that Timmy's name?), and Mr. Super-duper Genius,
Why do drive-through ATM's have braille keypads?
What is Supralapsarianism? And what is the difference between Infralapsarianism?
If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way down to the core of the earth?
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
Why is a person that handles your money called a 'Broker'?
If you had the opportunity, would you compete in the 2012 Summer Olympics, and what you compete in?
Sincerely,
your bestest friend. ;)
Kelle
Because it would be offensive NOT to have it.
Also because blind drivers can't see the numbers.
Nothing, there are just different ways of saying it.
of course.
It isn't in the script.
Because they want you to be Broker then you started.
High jump, Volley ball beach and indoor, Trampoline, 100 and 200 meter sprint, Badminton, Tennis, Table tennis, Archery, Diving, Weightlifting, Fencing, Judo, Swimming, Taekwondo, SYNCHRONIZED Swimming.

Blog Blog Crying About Hamburgers
Gem Asked:
Hey Tanner,
I have a few questions.
1. Why did you want to be quoted on my blog?
2. Are you pleased with the quotes that did end up on my blog?
3. If you're a super genius, how come you skipped that one question about crying underwater that someone asked a few posts back?
4. (and this is something I was asking my sister yesterday before I knew there was a super genius to turn to with questions of this sort) If hamburgers are made with beef and not ham, why are they called hamburgers and not beef burgers?
Gem
1. Because my awesomeness is deprived by not being on other peoples blogs.
2. No. it is like being stung by a wasp on my tongue, it kills!!
3. I completely forgot, I'am surprised no one else caught that. So any who, of course you can cry underwater.
4. Hamburgers originated from Hamburg Germany as beef burgers/pattys, and the -er at the end of hamburger is a noun in Germany meaning "from", so if you put Hamburg and er together what do you get? You get hamburger.

Hail and Bananas in National Geographic's
Taurus Asked:
So, Mr. Genius.
How was hail measured before golf balls were invented?
How, when, and why did the banana become the universal slipping agent?
Why do so many people save National Geographics and then never look at them again?
~Taurus (the bull)
Taurus
The size of hail was measured by strawberries.
During a comedy show someone accidentally throw in a banana peel into a recording and the actor tripped on it and it stuck, in the 1950s, because it is hilarious.
Because maybe someday they might be worth some money.

Shampoo
laura Asked:
Tanner, I love your explanation for winking!! I'm pretty sure I've played that game at some point... only, I think we used poking or something instead of winking. Still, it was awesome to get "killed" and drop dramatically to the floor.
Taralyn, that's the best tongue twister I've heard in a million years... *tongue in knots*
Ooooookay. I just spent way too long reading your previous posts and feeding your annoyingly-addictive fish. 0=]
Questions for you, Tanner-le-Genius!
If the queen of England comes to my house for lunch tomorrow, what should I serve her?
Why are there never the same number of hots dogs in a package as there are hot dog buns in a package?
What's your favorite kind of shampoo?
Over and out,
Laura L.
Laura
Well you should have asked Rory.
How are you supposed to play that game if you have to poke the person? then the other people playing would see you do it then they will arrest you.
And it can't be the best tongue twister you have heard of in a million years because neither you or the world been around for a million years.
Caviar on a hot dog bun with a side of Doritos.
What are you talking about!? (the incredibles quote), at wal-mart they have eight buns in a package and eight hot dogs in a package
No comment.
And geniuses never lie!
And Tasha, I would tell your dad.

Styrofoam
Someone I don't know Asked:
When companies ship styrofoam, what do they pack it in?
When it rains, why don't sheep shrink?
Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor, when you can't legally drink and drive?
10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 10! Is it possible?
Before I start, all I ask is that you please leave at least your first name.
When a company ships styrofoam they ship it in a box.
One factor is the way the tiny fibers grow on each strand of wool. As a sheep’s hair grows out of its back, the fibers of each strand, which are scaly, point out towards the same direction. However, when wool gets woven together into a sweater, all of these strands and their fibers suddenly point into many different directions! When the wool gets wet and then dries, the fibers that point in opposite directions latch on to each other and lock closer together, meaning all the strands of wool pull together tighter than before, and your wool sweater shrinks up!
The other factor that helps a sheep to keep his or her coat from shrinking is lanolin, an oily substance produced naturally by sheep. The lanolin keeps the scaly wool fibers slick and helps prevent them from locking together!
The reason they ask for your drivers license is to verify your age.

Definitely it can be true...that is the exact definition of 10! The exclamation point after a number means "factorial", which means find the product of all the positive integers from 1 to the number in front of !
So:
3! = 3*2*1
4! = 4*3*2*1
And what you wrote is true.
So:
3! = 3*2*1
4! = 4*3*2*1

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Tasha Asked:
Ah, such brilliance.
Why do stars twinkle?
Why do people wink?
Where IS the 'any' key?
Tasha
Tasha
Stars twinkle because they are big burning balls of gas. Now try and say that ten times fast.
And the reason I wink is to kill people, I was playing a game called killer and you had to wink at people to kill them.
Now there is the 'any' key.

OK
Jonathan Asked:
Mr. Smarty,
When you watch a movie with captions on, why do they make OK all caps?
Jonathan
First the origin of OK.
Mid 19th century , OK is probably an abbreviation of "orl korrect" a humorous form of all correct. It was then popularized as a slogan during President Van Buren's re-election campaign of 1840; his nickname Old Kinderhook (derived from his birthplace) provided the initials.
So to answer your question,
The reason OK should be capitalized is because OK is taken from initials.

Rungs, Eskimos, DNA and Sliced bread.
Rory Asked:
bah. there was a typo in my last comment that completely messed up the question. this is why I should not attempt logical communication after 2300 hours. let's try this again...
1. a 15 foot rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat with the bottom rung on the surface of the water. the rungs are 1 foot apart, and the tide goes up at the rate of 6.5 inches per hour. how long will it be until three rungs are covered?
2. eskimos are very good hunters, but they never hunt penguins. why not?
3. during the replication of deoxyribonucleic acid, the nucleotide thymine forms a hydrogen bond with its correspondent base adenine. in the transcription process involving ribonucleic acid, however, thymine is replaced by uracil. why is this?
4. what was the best thing BEFORE sliced bread?
okay. goodnight, genius.
Rory
I will try my best to make this as simple as possible
1. Never because the boat rises with the tide.
2. Eskimos live in the northern hemisphere, The top part. And penguins in the southern
hemisphere, The bottom part.
3. The replacement of thymine for uracil in DNA protects the DNA from attack and maintains the fidelity of DNA replication.
4. Fire, just plane old bread, the knife, individually wrapped cheese slices, I could go on.

Diana Asked:
Hello Super Genus,
I have a question that I know only a super genus can answer.
1. How do fireworks change different colors?
2. How do they make firework that look sparkly?
~Diana
Jonathan,
The light bulb would glow, and whatever room there is off to the side it would fill it in and stop.
Diana,
1. Fireworks are made with different kinds of metals to control the heat, And controlling the heat means controlling the color
2. fireworks are sparkly because they are fire, hence the name fireworks.
It wasn't school John disliked it was just the principal of it.

Bree Asked:
Dear Genius,
What a relief to know that there is a wise person like you in the world. Your willingness to educate the ignorant masses is magnanimous.
I have four questions for you.
1. Why is it that you only recently graduated as a Doctor of Geniusness?
2. What is my great, great, great, great grandfather's name?
3. What color is my pet guinea pig?
4. What time did I go to bed on Friday, June 22, 2012?
Sincerely, someone
Next comment.
This is from Someone.
I have another question. What is happening in the world, when a person is not allowed to comment anonymously? But instead must reveal their identity to the world that they are someone who turns to geniuses online to answer their questions. (What will my friends think of me?)
:sniff: Fine. Be that way. I will use my online name.
Same questions.
Sincerely, Bree
Bree that is what online name are for, besides your friends are asking questions.
1. because a doctorate is the highest degree to graduate from.
2. James.
3. like Adam said "I think he said super genius......not super creep......." How I'm I supposed to know what color your guinea pig is, if I've never seen it.
3. And how I'm I supposed to know what time you went to bed.
