• Why do we make a "lip-smacking" sound when kissing closed-mouth? We do make the sound; it doesn't happen on its own ...

Hmm, I think it's due to the air being released by a tight vaccuum formed due to the two pairs of lips being pressed against each other. That or it could be a frictional sound due to the lips. I'm not sure.

• What's likely to happen to people, or what might they feel, when they're killed instantly?

Probably lots of pain, for a short period of time. Depends on how long the brain remains conscience.

• Can a state in the United States split into two or more states? If so, how? I think Texas has a special provision for being able to divide into up to five states. But I am wondering about the others.

There is no special provision for texas. There is no provision in the constitution for states seceding or splitting. Historically W Virgina split from Virginia during the civil war, when some WV counties favored the north. I would imagine the state legistlature would have to pass a law stating the state is split.


• I have noticed that a lot of mainstream movies feature men peeing. Are the actors really peeing?

Probably not, since it likely requires multiple takes. You can get it pretty realistic via a portable bladder-like container filled with yellowish liquid, that emites via pressure nozzle near the penis. That's how i'd do it anyway.

Didn't see it, sorry.

• Working in my yard yesterday, I killed a gnat in my ear canal, where it had flown. I couldn't remove the body as my finger was too fat. What happens to it now?

It will decay rapidly due to the presence of environmental bacteria. Don't worry about it.

• What is the richest religion? Scientology has a lot of Hollywood stars and I think they actually make their members give money, but Catholicism is a very old religion with its own country. Also, Islam has a lot of members but I don't know about their money situation.

Scientology is young. Catholicism is one of the oldest, stable religions, my bet is on them for most capital. The Mormans have alot of US capital, they force their members to tithe, too.

• Is chicken considered meat?

Yes, it contains animal muscle protein.

• Hello ... Could you tell me if there's been any kind of medical discovery in the last 30 years besides DNA.

Literally every day there are new discoveries. Every day there is a new discovery in my lab alone. Go to a medical library and look at the new journal stacks; every single journal is filled with dozens of articles documenting new medical advances. We've made huge improvements in medical care since 30 years ago, for example diabetes drugs, much better therapy for cancer, drugs for cholesterol, etc.

• Are UFOs confirmed to be from other Alien Planets?

No documented proof.

• How do you get to write articles for Slate. Do you have to go through a process?

Likely, yes.

• I met a 40-year-old stripper back in February of this year. We had a special connection. Yet, she was homeless, going through a divorce and bankruptcy. She has three kids who live in Alabama and she pays $500 a month in child support. Moreover, she used cocaine. At one point, she was arrested for forgery. She spent a month in jail but was released under the condition that she become a narc for the police department. She gave the names of her dealers and would wear wires when drug deals were going down. I let her stay at my place and kept food in the refrigerator. This past Monday she took all her clothes, my money, and left. The night before, she hung out with some friends. I called her, and she said I was too good for her. She said she had never been treated so well. She said she would drag me down and she couldn't bear to handle that. I told her my hopes and dreams the night before. I wonder if I scared her off. I don't know what to make of it. I don't know if she met someone else the night before and doesn't want to tell me. It's killing me inside. I cried for her. I really cared for her. Can you give me some advice?

Yes, get over her, quickly, and try to find someone who doesn't have a criminal history for your next mate. It ain't true love, trust me. There are alot of fruit on the tree, just keep picking. Try to go to church and meet women. Or join local clubs (ie a biking club, a social club, not a night club).

Next time, do a background check when you first start dating. Just remember the rule; criminal history = forgetaboutit.
