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)

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.

  3. 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?
