11/21/2008 HOW LONG DOES NICOTINE STAY IN YOUR SYSTEM? I QUIT SMOKING TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO AND I STILL GET NICOTINE STAINS IN MY UNDERWEAR. ALAN IN AUSTIN Alan, I'm instantly reminded of an episode of Seinfeld where a girl Jerry was dating claimed she contracted gonorrhea from riding a tractor in a bathing suit. Traces of nicotine remain in your system up to 2 weeks after smoking a cigarette. But for your particularly staining situation, there are two possible causes. And I'll go ahead and skip the first one, because it's "number two". Read More
10/17/2008 MY VCR WON'T STOP BLINKING 12:00. WHAT GIVES? BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY, BUT I WANT IT TO BE RIGHT ALL DAY! ANDY C. Andy, I think the question you should ask is not "What gives?" but rather "How can I benefit from this?" This VCR is giving you a golden opportunity to be late for just about anything, and have a semi-valid excuse. "Sorry I wasn't there in time to help deliver that baby...my VCR still said it was noon!" And so on. Now some may look down upon you for using a VCR as your primary clock. Which is a perfect transition into one of my Presidential campaign promises: if elected, everyone will get a free clock on their brand new HD-DVD players. Yep, HD-DVD players for all! Why are movies so cheap on HD-DVD right now?... Read More

5/31/2007 1. I HEARD THAT CAPTAIN AMERICA WAS DEAD. IS THAT TRUE? BRAD B. Yep Brad, it looks like the star spangled avenger has finally bitten the big one. but for a more comprehensive look at the events that lead to his death, i turn it over to my good friends at Wikipedia. In the 2006-2007 "Civil War" crossover, Captain America opposes mandatory federal registration of all super-powered beings and leads the Anti-Registration faction and resistance movement. He becomes a fugitive and opposes the heroes of the Pro-Registration group, including his former friend Iron Man. He adopts the alias "Brett Hendrick,” a mall security guard, to avoid government detection. As the War continues, Cap enlists the assistance of several figures whom he would not choose to ally himself with under normal circumstances, such as the Punisher and the Kingpin. During the climactic battle between pro- and anti-Registration superheroes, Captain America confronts and batters Iron Man (whose armor has been disabled by the Vision)—victory is in his grasp. However, when a group of civilians attempt to restrain him, Rogers realizes that he is endangering the very people he has sworn to protect. He removes his mask, surrenders to authorities as Steve Rogers, and orders the anti-Registration forces to stand down. As Rogers is led away ... Read More

2/28/2007 6. HOW DOES SPOCK'S MIND MELD WORK? TERI B. My good buddies at Wikipedia say: ‘A procedure known as a mind-meld involves physical contact with a subject (though instances of mind-melds without contact have been seen), making it possible to share thoughts, experience, memories, and knowledge with another individual. Vulcans can perform mind melds with members of most other species, most notably humans.’ In non nerd speak: Spock gives your face an oh-so-sweet caress and then jumps into your brain to see what you've got going on in there.
