question of the day: Just what the heck is a Brooklyn Decker, anyway?

Fri, Apr 13, 2012
no comments yet

A Brooklyn Decker is an egg cream soda that uses hot fudge instead of regular chocolate syrup. No, wait, it’s an obsolete term for a ball hit into the upper levels at a Dodgers game, back when they were still a New York team. No, wait…

question of the weekend: How do you commemorate the arrival of spring?

Sat, Apr 07, 2012

Some people mark Easter and/or Passover as religious or cultural markers. Perhaps springtime means hauling the bike or the barbecue or the lawn furniture out of storage to add to enjoyment of the outdoors. What do you do?

question of the day: What is the appeal of Madame Tussauds?

The Hunger Games! Oscar contender! Never mind that it’s only April! *sigh*

question of the day: Should transgendered women be allowed to compete in beauty pageants?

Tue, Apr 03, 2012
