How can I tell if someone is stupid or smart? Sam -Colorado This is pretty subjective. In my experience, people think smart people is someone they agree with and stupid people are those they don’t. In my humble opinion this kind of mindset has to stop. If your intention in a conversation with someone is to pigeonhole someone into one of those two categories based on if they hold up to your intellectual standards, you might be the stupid one. Everyone on the planet has something to offer and has something to contribute to the collective intelligence of the world, no one is stupid, it’s just the trendy thing to say in this day and age about people we don't like and it’s just a form of bullying…..

What do you think would happen if rioters stormed the White House to try to burn it down? Zelda - San Francisco, CA Well, with todays news and cameras rolling, I think we would get something pretty spectacular to feast our eyes on- however, the conspiracist in my says that the White House has some crazy technology that disables this kind of thing during such an event. • If the President were in the building at the time, he would certainly be either evacuated on Marine One or taken to the secure command center which was built to withstand a nuclear blast. • The Secret Service would open fire with live ammunition into the charging crowd as they have a standing “shoot to kill” order (their jobs are to protect the POTUS at all costs). • If, by some crazy miracle, the rioters made it into the building itself, they would be met with even more resistance inside, and the few that managed to survive all of that, if any, wouldn't last much longer because you could be sure that the Army and Marines would already be on the ground or not far out by that point. • The White House is one of the most secure buildings in the United States.The only chance someone could conceivably have is if they were a foreign power with a strong presence already on American soil with armored, naval, infantry, and air superiority over most of DC and the surrounding regions. Otherwise, it's a death sentence that only the insane or outright stupid would attempt. In the face of these counter measures, the rioters will decide that storming the White House was a bad idea. The white house looks all glam and fabulous, but Just because you can’t see these things doesn’t mean they don’t exist. The actual White House defense system isn’t made known to the public. Its top secret need to know level information. We can guess a few things. There are armed sniper personnel with shoot to kill orders. We can guess that gas (tear gas, pepper spray, oxogen depletion gas, acid from a snail) would be used. My next guess is some sort of noise apparatus, 500 decibels or greater could be all around the grounds. I’m not ruling out permanent ear damage, and noise sufficient to cause people to collapse, get confused, and beg to die. Finally maybe jet water cannons, tens of thousands of gallons per second like they use to cut metal, the kind that cut off your feet and toss them back a few dozen yards like a super bowl pitch back. It would need coordination, it would take planning, it would take communication, and finally it would take “rioters” on the ground to implement the plan. None of this will take place without the Secret Service having full knowledge because you know, "Big Brother is watching" and stuff.

I've watch the "Saved by the Bell" tv show back in the day, but what does that phrase really mean? Kryspen G. -Los Angeles Mr. Lost Angels, In modern times it is told to boxers who were just about to get knocked out but get to take a break in the corner to get the blood on their face and tears wiped off. But back in the Victorian Days, when people did not know what a pulse was and could not figure out if someone was dead or just sleeping, they would put them in coffins thinking the worst.  But, if the person were to wake up in the coffin they would have to bang on the inside of the box until they were blue in the face, literally, and no one would hear them, especially in the middle of an abandoned graveyard. The geniuses of the time decided to start putting ropes inside the coffin with ropes going outside so they can pull on it to ring a bell to let everyone know they had not died. The gravediggers were paid to hang out for a few days after bodies were buried to listen for bells. If they heard a bell they would have to dig up the body and save them from certain death, saved by the bell.

What do you think is going to be the ultimate solution of the energy crisis? Olivia -Cape Coral, Florida Nothing, Nope, Not going to happen. There is NOT a power source on the planet that a large group of people are not pissed about and will fight and riot to the end of the earth to get rid of. People up in arms about solar because it ruins the landscape and kills animals and grass, Hate wind power because it causes too much noise to the communities and causes hearing aids to buzz and attracts dinosaurs, hate nuclear because it's scary and used in war, hate natural gas because it's ruining the planet and causing global warming not to mention scary, Hydrogen is bad because it causes cancer, destroys water, and scary, Tidal energy is polluting the oceans and causing lighthouses to miscalculate their beams of light making it so space aliens to land in the wrong places and abduct the wrong type of cows for their science experiments, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and $(&^%@* on.... ...seems like people just like to complain more than they do finding a global solution. I'll just stick with my semi unregulate nuclear water fusion gyroscopic fludder capacitor reactor in my neighbors garage.  As long as no one knows about it they won't care.

What's the silliest crime you ever got arrested for? Alex Jesus Marchovick -Dallas, Texas Quite a few pretty stupid things have gotten me arrested with random charges, however.... I was painting a mural for a city project in Denver in the early 1990s when an activist, who did not like public art, got a cop and informed them of an obscure law that if a person is in possession of more than 6 cans of spray paint that it was considered “Possessing Spray Paint with intent on committing vandalism” despite what you might be actually doing with them…. Well, I happened to have in my possession over 1400 cans of spray paint for this particular project in a giant on site storage locker and the police decided to “go with it” and I was placed under arrest and charged with a felony “Conspiracy to commit Vandalism” Charge of some sort. After many court appearances and offers for a dumbed down of charges, I finally got my day in court and the jury that was chosen could not stop laughing during the trial because of the stupidity so the judge made the decision to let the jury go, reprimand the prosecution for dragging this out, had the police officer and his superior removed from their job, and fined the activist for the court costs. I decided not to file a civil suit for the activist at that time.

What was the first crime lab? Bryce -Seattle, Washington I think that Scotland Yard's Henry Goddard in the early 1800’s was the first officially, however growing up I would have sworn that Fred Jones was the first to do it with his dog Scooby and close friends driving around in their vintage van.

Is the prison system barbaric? My friend Jayson had to do 7 days for a DUI and came out with two black eyes, all cut up, and his jaw wired shut. What kid of people do they let in their that would do that kind of thing? Samir -Pueblo, Colorado Well Samir, sounds to me like Jayson didn't fair too well in jail. You might be surprised to know that they have criminals, like real criminals, that hang out inside those prison bars. Jayson I'm guessing didn't fit in too well and won't tell you about the butthole he came home with that semi trucks can unload their goods into. Yeah, prison and jail suck and I'm hoping that you and your friends can avoid that place. If not, you better learn to take a beating, I suggest going to either women's sumo wrestling school or dominatrix hooker training in the Bronx from my friend Ken on 7th ave. Both will get you use to getting tossed around by giant fat bottom girls who will send you home everyday a bit like Jayson did. Have fun.

My husband was charged with class X aggravated battery and held with no bond. He has no criminal record. How much time is he looking at? Marsha -Long Beach, California Marsha, I would suggest you set up accounts with Hello Cupid, Tinder, and Farmers Only right away because that dude ain't comin home anytime soon and you don't want to be senile old lonely hot chick for the next 50 years of your amazing life. Make sure that on your photos you use a good camera and have one of your girlfriends help you with getting all dolled up.  Having a puppy in your picture and a bottle of wine helps get more attention to your profile. Showing a bit of cleavage is encouraged as well as a proper sun dress.  Lie, lie, lie on your profile like you did to lure your husband in when you first met, it seemed to have gotten you a swell dude the first time.

Am I allowed to leave Earth if I had an actual working spacecraft? Mike M. -Colorado Mike, DUDE!!! You got a spaceship? if you can afford a spacecraft, then you can afford good lawyers that will tell everyone who has a problem with it to piss off.  But rather than getting shot down by the Russians or not be allowed back The US will want at least: Proof your spacecraft is safe to fly (NASA or the FAA will be involved) A flight plan (FAA) Proof your spacecraft won’t disrupt operations of other spacecraft near Earth (FCC), especially your spacecraft’s radios and future debris risk. (This stems from US responsibilities under the Outer Space Treaty). A license for any camera shots or live broadcasts of Earth (NOAA got stuck regulating Earth-observing cameras). A mental evaluation to make sure you are not bat shit crazy. On that note, make sure to make public the giant turtle that is holding up the flat earth on his back.  I hear her name is Henry, but I have not personally seen her yet but I bet she is beautiful. I must note that this does not address garage-built David Adair specials, UFOs recovered and fixed from a wild fishing expedition in the Bermuda Triangle, or spacecraft acquired as a result of hooking up with a friendly alien after a lot of beers and cocaine. For likely government intervention in those situations, I suggest reviewing this documentary on government oppression of radical innovators, which might be more insightful for you conspiracy dudes, who I have the upmost respect for.

How do people write graffiti on bridges above highways? Brenda G. - Phoenix, AZ They climb, sometimes with rope and climbing gear. lol. There are also attachments for paint sticks so you can reach up 30 feet or more. “Someone I know” use to jump onto semi trucks when they parked for the night in alleyways to rest and paint a big tag. Then when the truck left in the morning everyone was amazed how someone could do such work up so high. I know a few people that used the window washer lifts to drop down to the middle of a building and tag their names, it was pretty impressive looking. One of the most influential graffiti taggers might have actually worked for the city and while "fixing" signs on the freeway just added his name while he was on the clock, so your tax dollars were hard at work keeping his name on the 5 freeway in LA.

What are some tips for doing graffiti? Mika - Buena Vista, CA Don't get caught.

How can you stop yourself from being badly influenced? Kendra Sou - Utah I don’t. Bad influences in life are part of what makes you who you are and just because someone tries to influence you does not mean you will actually do it. Your whole life revolves around interactions that will try to persuade you into an action, it is up to you to make good choices that will benefit yourself and those around you.

How do graffiti artists paint on trains? Officer Marquez - LAPD Most modern train yards are unmanned, so it’s not too hard to sneak into the yard and do your thing. They might use friends to keep a watch out for anyone else trying to sneak up on them while they are painting and it’s not too hard to outrun a security guard, especially since they don’t have the power of arrest and have to wait for the cops anyways. Good luck showing up in time Officer. Happy hunting.

Why is graffiti banned? Jose Ortiz - California It’s not banned. It’s illegal. Try getting caught and see what happens.

What is ASU's reputation? Maggie Frost - Mother of future ASU student Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.... As a proud graduate of Arizona State University I can say from first hand experience that our awesome school is world renowned as having the biggest parties, most random sex orgies, and consume the greatest amount of alcohol that any other school has to offer. In the 90s when I was attending, we use to have kegs in some of the classrooms and there were 9 bars on campus as well as dozens across the street. Other than that, it is an amazing school for engineering and psychology, one of the best.... from what I fuzzily remember of my alcohol driven existence.

Why exactly is vandalism bad? Trex - Washington State University Uh. Not sure I understand the question. Vandalism is not bad. Whoever told you that is a liar. You might not like it, or the quality of work is subpar.... It is however sort of illegal and could get you put in jail for quite some time, and jail sucks so avoid it at all costs. If you do bless your community with some awesome vandalism, please take pictures of it and send it my way.  If you get caught say hi to Phil who kept my buddy Leo's feet warm in Lewis County Jail in Washington. Heard he played a mean game of chess.

Is it ethically proper to represent a client accused of a criminal offense when the lawyer knows the client is guilty? Maxwell S. - Reno, Nevada Of course it’s ethical. It is the job of a lawyer to do what his client needs done to the best of their ability. The lawyer is doing his job, if he does his job well then he also gets rewarded well in the form of money and more guilty clients to serve. They are not considered guilty until they lose in court, so they are innocent until that happens and a good lawyer will take the case. On that note, if you were accused of murder, even if you might have done it, I would hope you can find a lawyer with enough evil in them to at least try to make you a free person... although from the victims POV that might not be the same position.

What is psychological murder, and can it be proved in court? Jannet - UCLA medical student Good luck proving that in court. Many psychological testimonials are not allowed in court because of the lack of physical evidence. I would say that most prosecutors that want to try this tactic will try to charge someone with other more viable charges like neglect or abuse. Curious who you are trying to get put in jail? Your ex must have been quite something for you to stretch it psuedo science to get rid of him in a fire of vengeance. Most of us resort to alcohol or prescription drugs obtained from questionable sources.

Do you think a psychiatrist is your friend? Chad Clark - Texas No. They are your doctor there to treat you, not your friend. You might get them confused with being a close friend because they give you amazing drugs to try that make you feel great, but in fact it is their job and they would happily pass you off to another colleague if things cross over the line. On a personal note, don't try to "Hook Up" with your psychologist, they got into the industry because they are bat shit crazy and it won't turn out very well.

If Donald Trump didn't pay a speeding ticket or something similar and had a warrant put out for his arrest, could police go to the white house and arrest him? Jax - New York City As I understand, the President and other officials are exempt from such laws. Good luck going to the white house with all those secret service and trying to enforce a warrant tho, those dudes are badasses. Besides, rich people take care of their warrants much different than us poor folks. Rich people problems.

Which states allow an insanity defense? Jimm - Las Vegas, Nevada What crime are you planning to implement that needs such a defense? I think that if you are putting this much planning into your criminal activity, you should probably focus on not getting caught.

How can a city ordinance force property owners to remove graffiti when they did not put the graffiti there? Jorden Bush - Newport, OR The sad truth of the mater, despite what the banks tell you about ownership, you don’t own your property, the state does. So if they tell you to do something they have the power to make you homeless and kick you out of the home you are leasing from them with property taxes. They will happily put it up for auction to someone who will comply with their demands. You could get a permit for a mural on your property, then claim that the vandalizm is part of your alternative mural project. If you do the boys and I would be happy to contribute to such a worthwhile cause.

What is the best way to fight graffiti? Xavier - San Diego, California Don’t. Fighting is bad. Graffiti is awesome and you should leave it alone and appreciate it. If you don’t like what was painted, repaint it with something you like. I recommend a solid color of Behr Russian Olive from Home Depot, it’s pretty trendy right now and a great base color for some graffiti I have been wanting to do. Leave your address in the comments when you are done so I can send some folks over to put something nice on it.

I split the cost of a fence with my old neighbor. A new neighbor has moved in and is wanting to remove the fence. The fence is entirely on their property. Can they legally do this? Marton Leone - Sacramento, CA Hey Marton, Yep, the fence is on their property and they can do with it what they like. You might have just built a blobfish of a fence and it's an eyesore on his side of the property. You might just suck at fence building and didn't know it. Here's what I would do.  Show up with a 12 pack of beer, a bottle of decent scotch, some takeout from a local grubhub and have a discussion man to man about this fence issue. He might have legit reasons for wanting to change it. Shoot. If he wants to pay for a new fence every year at least tell him to make sure the workers who are building it for him are smoking hot so you can gawk at them while sitting on your property in your thong drinking heavily and heckling them about their work.

Should we make joining a gang illegal? Nate Bree - Salem, OR If that was the case, How would people be able to join the police force? Seems to me that the word gang is subjective and could be applied to any group of people. There is already groups profiling based on a group of gang members who have similar interests or characteristics..... Like being dark skinned, mexican, white folks, liking pizza, wearing nail polish, or freeballing it at family gatherings.... Gangster.

Is counterfeiting a state crime? I've gotten pretty good at making money on my printer and thought I could pay a few bills with them to get me by. Mike Mendoza -San Francisco, California Money if Federal, so counterfeiting would be a Federal Crime. According to Federal § 470 18 U.S.C. § 470 - U.S. Code - Unannotated Title 18. counterfeiting U.S. securities carries a potential fine of up to $250,000 and a maximum of 25 years in federal prison. Although it is illegal, it considered one of the most lucrative businesses, worth about $150 billion a year and increasing. But I personally wouldn’t want to take that risk, but who knows your situation. Have fun with that one and say hi to Billie Jenkens when you are doing time in Penn State.

Why does rap take so much pride in hating the establishment? Mike - Washington State I suppose it depends on the rap you listen to. Most of the stuff that bumps my speakers are about drugs, beer parties, and fat bottom girls. Kind of like this awesome video I found on Youtube:

If the Yakuza are criminals, why don't the Japanese police simply arrest them? Kendra Colgeene -Portland, Oregon I wouldn’t want to mess with those Yakuza dudes (translated to English simply as Gangster). They not only have inside info on where you live, they are happy to show up to your house and burn you and your family to the ground in broad daylight, on national tv, with no masks on, and while singing patriotic Japanese songs. The people who run the Yakuza are crazy rich and influencial. Even if they are caught and arrested, a judge will happily drop the charges and let them go in an effort to save the lives of his family and friends. I wouldn’t put anything past them, those dudes chop off their own hands for fun in their Yubitsume rituals. Dudes are crazy and crazy people rule the world.

Help.  I just ate 74 pizza rolls.  They are 190 calories for two.  I also had two liters of coke with it.  Will I die if i go right to sleep?? Kyle Darg - Mississippi I'm no health expert, I'm not that kind of Doctor, but I'm guessing you might have a good chance of: ...farting a hole through your mattress, please consider having a fire extinguisher handy just in case of exhaust leaks. ...having a serious heart attack.  That coke habit is serious.  Two liters (about 10.61 pounds) of coke, whether you snort it or shoot it up is, pretty serious in one sitting.  I think it could give you a heart attack.  I hope this is not a daily routine for you, if so, please let me know what kind of job you have to be able to afford a 10 pound a day coke habit???  I'm guessing even at wholesale prices you drop about $50k per month, not to mention the costs of those yummy pizza rolls. Cheers and good luck with that.  If you need rehab try this place, you can for sure afford it at only $65k the first month, plus taxes and expenses not including a room deposit for damages and special nursing services.

I am getting married in just 60 days and really want to lose 100 pounds before then so I look hotter than my friends.  I've always been the chubby one and need help. Max Parkes - Germany A picture of you with this question would have helped.  I'm a visual person so I'm guessing if you need to lose 100 pounds that is the equivalent of one of your legs.  I think that your best bet is amputation.  There is a clinic that does great amputation work and can get you a new leg that is a fraction of the weight of your fatty leg.  Dr. Rozbruch of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York is great and has done thousands of successful surgeries like these.  Schedule an appointment today at 877-606-1555 and you might be fully recovered by the time your wedding is. On the other hand, just a good diet and knowing that he is wanting to marry you makes you a grand prize.  I'm sure he thinks your smoking hot just the way you are.  Just wait to see what happens to your body after the seventh kid.

I fantasize about wearing a diaper around the house and making my husband bottle feed me dinner.  How do I go about asking him to indulge me in my fantasy? Jennifer Pole - California Uhm???  Don't. or Do?  Hell I don't know, but do you. If you and he are happy with that sort of kink, make it happen, just don't leave the house and expose the rest of us to that, my nightmares are already out of control.

I wanted to hang out with a girl who knows I like her but she said no. What do I do?” Chad Turner Have you tried kidnapping her? Hopefully it will make such an impact on her that when you get arrested she might be willing to come visit you in jail. It worked for Charles Manson.

Why does my ex boyfriend still want to use me for sex? Sandy You let him use you for sex? lol. Ex boyfriend?  Weird, but The instant the sex goes away you won’t hear form him again.  It goes to show what he thought about you in the first place.  Go out and find yourself someone that does not use you when it's convenient. At the end of the day, you can always use him for whatever amazingness he has to offers... money, looks, nice personality, makes an amazing PB and J. In an unrelated really amazing coincidence, my brother just got out of jail after doing 23 years.  He happens to be single and on parole, meaning you know where he is between 6 pm and 8 in the morning.  He works when he is not at home, so he has a job at least.  He is my brother so of course he is amazingly good looking which is always a plus. And as a super bonus, when you get tired of him you can just call in a tip and these nice boys in blue will show up and take him to his new home upstate.

What are the benefits of moving to Chandler, Arizona? Ken Browlin The plethora of people over 80 is pretty amazing. New single people every day who’s spouses have died of old age.

Why is FaceBook Free and food is not? Jarvis Facebook is not Free. In exchange for you viewing Google you have agreed to be manipulated by marketing and social engineering and have your personal information given to people who try to sell to you. Your viewership is a commodity worth thousands of dollars. Remember this: if you don't pay for it, you are the product.

If a guy says he likes you but still never makes time for you is that normal? Bethany - Seattle, Washington Of course he’s busy. It’s not very polite to text back his girlfriend when making out with another girl, that would be rude. Just wait until it’s your turn and he’ll call you, don't call him, he's very busy practicing for your next date.

My gf was once texting me all the time when we first talked now she hardly does, what should I do? Stanley Menge See if you can find out who her side dude is. Now she has you. There's no need to text you all the time.  Have you thought that you might just be boring and you need to learn to be a better texter? Sending pics of your body parts in the bathroom mirror has proven devastating in the past and could take you to the next step in your relationship.... like your next girlfriend.

You seem to know AAAA-lot. What is the coolest way to handle a man hitting on your girlfriend/wife? Pissed off in Alabama Usually it works good if you just take him in a back room and beat him senseless with a wood chair. If you knock all his teeth out of his head his self esteem will be lowered to the point he won’t want to smile at anyone and even tho his broken arms and legs will get him short term attention from others, the permanent inability to walk strait will make him appear RE-tarded and people will avoid talking to them, including your girlfriend. Problem solved. Or you can stop with your low self esteem and be proud that you have a girlfriend that everyone else looks at and fantasizes they were you.

If people always look at me a lot when I'm in public, does that mean I'm attractive? Amanda Garcia Or you could be hideously entertaining.

My girlfriend thinks Donald Trump is an idiot and constantly insults him even though she knows I am a diehard supporter. Should I break up with her? Marlin Kendrid Yes. Can you send me her facebook link or phone number when you do so I can send my strapping brother over comfort her about the breakup?

My boyfriend was a recovering alcoholic until I got laid off three weeks ago. He started drinking heavily that day. Am I to blame? Margie Lee Yes of course. I’m sure his drunken ass will happily blame you in some way. Fun times. So the truth is that you have no control over his actions, he's the drunk.  But the good news is that he's got you well trained for taking responsibility for his actions.

Why do I black out when I'm Drunk? Max Pendleton OMG!!! Weird, Me too. Small world.

Does the consumer process end when a consumer buys something? Stan Blore -Reno, Nevada OMG!!! It better not. Basic purchasing principals says that people do business with people, so the next natural step is for that consumer to tell their friends and family and convince them to engage in the buying process and then repeat the cycle over and over and over and over…..

How do you know if someone does not want you to be around them? Juan Gallegos A restraining order.

Why do some people feel superior? Kirk Majors Because they are. lol. It’s not them, it’s actually your low self esteem that is making you feel that way. Always remember that you can not read minds.  Nope.  You can't.  So you have no clue what someone feels unless they tell you.  So if you feel that someone is superior to you, then they become that ways because that is how you respond to them....

Is it OK to be drunk at work? Martin Pulido If it’s not OK it is time for you to get a different job. We don’t need that kind of negativity in the workplace. Also, make sure they provide a decent Keg-erator with a CO2 pump because Pumping by hand can cause work injury and Carpel Tunnel which could result in lawsuits for the company.

How come my parents said if I want my own gaming PC, I have to get a job? Bobby Crestmoore Jesh. What is wrong with them. Sounds like you need to put an ad out to find yourself new parents. I hear there are parents out and about looking for someone to support until they die and leave a fortune to. For the rest of us silver spoons with poor parents, we unfortunately have to go out and get jobs.

How do you market a product that sells itself? Ben Jarvis -Sacramento, CA You don’t. Why waste money.

My girlfriend cheated on me, I forgave her but she keeps texting other guys, what can I do? Jim Garrett See if she has any friends or a cute sister that is a bit more loyal. On another note, You're obviously uncomfortable with her communicating with other guys. Let her know and ask if you can have a side chick to text and cuddle with.

What factors create a good work environment? John Burdock -Aspen, Colorado If you pay someone enough, it does not matter how you treat them. There are two ways to have loyal employees.  Give them tons of money without having to work for it.  Don't pay them and make them work their asses off. ....just like the slave trade.

I matched on Tinder with my best friend's boyfriend. How do I handle this situation? Olya Miller -Indianapolis, IN You just need to explain to your best friend that Tender knows things and she is just going to have to live with the happy life her boyfriend and you are going to have together. Your friend just has to get over it and be happy for you. My very first tinder match ever came with a rush and a bit of fear....

As a girl, I'm trying to come up with a really cool graffiti name. Jessica I always thought that "XOXO" would be a cool name to tag around.  It sends a positive message and pretty easy to write.

Why do most people define success as being busy all the time and owning a lot of material things? Dali Fleming -Georgia I would think of it this way. I don’t know of many people that FEEL “successful” who are living on the streets and trying to find their next meal. I would suppose that it is all about how you truly feel. If you feel you are actually successful in general, then don’t worry about it. “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.” - John Wooden

Is School Important for me to finish? Kyle Martin -Billings, Montana Drop out of school and start a business. The top richest MOFO's on the planet did just that. If that fails you could always try homelessness, I know plenty of people that are perfectly happy with that life decision. On another note, there might be some advantages to acquiring knowledge, experience, and inspiration for the future by hanging out in school with boring teachers for a while.

Is there a limit to what can be defined as art? Michael Mamboonic -San Francisco, CA Not even a little bit. That is what artists do, push the *&^&*&g limits. I saw an artist get best artist of the year twice in a row for his eminas on canvas... LIVE.  Yeah.

I want to follow the way of the pirate.  Any advice? Keith Bogata -Denver, Colorado Uh, I wanted to be a princess growing up, but that's another story.  What you can do is buy a boat, find some semi loyal blokes to follow you with empty promises, and set your way to the seas looking for rich guys on yachts.  That's basically how it works.  Know tho that True Pirating is ILLEGAL and you should consider having an international lawyer on retainer just in case. On another note: have you considered just being a fisherman?

How can I hypnotize people to do things I want them to? Jake The problem is that hypnotized people will not do something that they would not normally do. The only way to manipulate someone in that way is drugs and then you run the risk of it becoming a legal mater. The realization you will come to is that people under hypnosis will not do something they would not normally do....

Why does the snooze buttons go off 9 minutes later instead of some other number of minutes? James Kushton -Liberty, New York Studies have shown that it takes 10 minutes or more for someone to go back into "deep" sleep. So having it set for 9 minutes helps someone who needs it to slowly wake up. Also, back in the day when clocks were non-digital, it just so happened that the gears were set up so it could not be added as an even number: something do do with base of 12 and 60 with smart people math.  And since that is what customers expected, when digital clocks came out that is what clock makers stuck to.

How do I break up with a girl, without making her cry? Carl Margino - NYC Why would you want to? If she cries then she must have actually liked you. The solution might be to only date hookers where they leave after picking up the money off the dresser. Without emotional connections you should be good to go. Realistically, if she didn't shed a tear....

If a baby is born and no one has ever talk to the baby even the parents but the baby received proper feeding and adequate medication when the need arise,WHAT LANGUAGE WILL THE BABY SPEAK WHEN HE/SHE GROW UP?? Nathan Hey Nathan, My prediction: the baby would develop it's own way of communicating with pointing and grunting that would be consistent enough for someone else who studies linguistics and communication to be able to learn. Mankind's inherit desire to communicate is way too strong to be stifled.

Why do real swords appear so boring yet video game swords are awesome looking? Billy Ocho -Miami, Florida I think that the weapons in video games or comics would be absolutely impossible to use in real life. There is no humanly possible to even think you would wield a 50 foot piece of metal or pick up a 50,000 caliber tank on your shoulder and launch it….. But it is super fun to fantasize about it.

What is the test used for mentally retarded population, I want to make sure I am not 'tarded??? Harry in KC It's so funny how broad the classification of "mental retardation" or properly "intellectually disabled" is, the way it is worded it could be anyone that does not want to make social change. lol. Me being an super-extrovert with no social buttble causes paranoia in my authority figures who feel I might fit this classification because of my lack of willingness to conform to the cookie cutter lifestyle they have in mind for me. On a happier note, some research I am working on for my blog included a study at Boston University for testing of such matters, interesting read: http://www.jabfm.org/content/20/4/399.long

What makes a guy Creepy? Janice -Grand Junction, Colorado Creepy is a term used to describe a guy that likes you but you don’t like him. If the smoking hot guy were to do the same things as the “Creepy” guy did, he would be considered cute or sweet.  Maybe you are the creepy one?

Animals don't have safe sex, why don't they get STD's? Kenley Darling - Nevada Oh boy, our furry forest friends get STD's faster than amateur porn stars. In fact a lot of koala bears have chlamydia. Primates can get a disease similar to HIV in humans called SIV. It's probable that syphilis came from sheep or cattle. dolphins get genital warts, and rabbits can get syphilis. Dogs and cats both have their own strains of herpes virus. And the Tasmanian Devil has a weird STI that cause a very aggressive and strange form of face cancer, tumor thing. It prevents them from hunting and feeding. But wait! There's more! The fun is not just limited to our furred friends! Birds can get chlamydia and also give it to humans and cats through bites and scratches after they are infected. Reptiles also can get STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Also insects have their own weird STIs. I just wanna jump in here about the Tasmanian Devil facial tumour disease. The disease is not thought to be spread sexually, instead through biting, as generally the devils will bite each other when fighting over food. It can also be transferred through eating the same carcass as an infected devil. Interestingly, it is one of the few forms of infectious cancer.

I'm 13. How do I tell my mother about my boyfriend? Jan Here’s the thing. You could just tell your mom you are pregnant. Then after she is all pissed off tell her you were just joking and that you have a boyfriend. She will be soooo relieved that the fact that you have a boyfriend will be no big deal. Also ask her how to use condoms so you don't actually get pregnant. That way in the future there will be much less uncomfortable conversations between the two of you.

Seems like Ethics in Marketing is shot.  What do you think? William K. - Utah Ethically, The practice of my colleagues and myself is shot. We are basically evil and don't usually consider ethics or morals in our daily work and are not too concerned about hurting feelings or if the actions of our manipulations harm someone emotionally. In fact, we hope it does. On that note: I finally was able to relax and watch a movie about such a subject: Ethics in Psychology. The movie was from 2015 called "Experimenter". Super awesome movie about the backlash of his experiments with social obedience to authority. Right down my field. Outside the strict moral code of couch psychology where you truly want to help others, did you see the movie and what do you think ethical practices in the study of social psychology should entail? Do you think that you must encourage trust in subjects even though it would cause a false result in the environment you have built??? Should this type of social psychology be barred from existence because there is a chance it could result in emotional harm?

How should I deal with friends that doesn't call me or text me and doesn't care? Joy Goldman -Dallas, Texas Find or buy new friends.

If I found a cash pallet ($240 million) hidden by drug dealers, how can I use it without getting caught? Joe, Undisclosed Location Well Joe, my new best friend, You know that the money is tainted, so the best bet would let me take care of getting it back to the proper place. However, since you seem like a smart lad, you will most likely not go with that option. Here's what you need to do. First things first. Never tell anyone about it. I mean freaking no one. Even your best friend, girlfriend or mother. The less people who knows about it the better. ideally just one. You need to stash it somewhere, like what was suggested store it in chunks and in different places, mixing it with your old stuff or props. the more normal the better, never make look like its documents or something precious. Make it as harmless as it may be. Still never tell anyone. Never spend beyond your means, i know you would say WTF but believe me, questions will arise when you suddenly buy a new car. just wait. Now here is where my suggestion differs from the others. You can live comfortably and furnish your house with better but not over the top stuff. Just blend in.You can move to a better area. Rent. etc for now. You can award yourself with a monthly pension from the amount and basically never work again or worry about money, Keep a job for appearance sake. Never surprise anyone with lame excuses of good luck falling on you so you can buy a Ferrari or a Range Rover. People can see through that. Make your alibi as simple a possible, the more complicated the lie the bigger the chances of your messing up. With this plan, you could probably afford the good clothes, gadgets,food etc. as long as its not over the top. Then , you can launder the money to make it appear you earned the money by inserting small batches of the money into your business bank account and make it appear as legitimate income. Eventually, if you play it super smart that amount will be washed up within two years. Ready to be spent in the open. As for the possibility of the original owners tracing you. Better move to the farthest place from where you found the money and never return ever there. Also, if you had used a car, better have that car wrecked and destroyed in a yard. As much as possible never tell anyone where you are moving or make a excuse. Replace all your stuff with a bit better but again plausible spending habits. Yes i know where is the fun coming.Well, to be frank it wouldn't come, the fun part is that you can afford every-time new iPhones comes put, new street fashion stuff like Nikes etc…You can eat everywhere at least once.You may never really seriously need to work ever. If you have family, better ...

My brother keeps ending up in jail while the rest of us siblings avoid breaking laws. Why does a person become a criminal and how can I help him? Joel P. Lots and lots of financial incentive to get into the life of crime.  Although defining what a crime is can be very subjective...

What the hell is a Gavotte.  I head it in a Carly Simon Song. Darv Lee The gavotte is a French folk dance that was popular in the late 16th century. It was somewhat majestic and pose-y, long before vogueing came into … well, vogue. Simon has stated in interviews that she pictured the character in her song making a dramatic entrance, one hand raised and the other on his hip, much like those elegant pantaloon-wearing Baroque folks did back in the day. So I'm guessing that if you can't Gavotte to the boogie woogie, then the song is for sure not about you.

I heard from a friend about a plant that I could use for birth control that is natural and safer than the little pills i get from my doctor.  You know of it? Nancy K. Ah yes, the old laserwort myth. The seed of the silphium plant, used in ancient times as an herbal contraceptive, has been suggested as the source of the heart symbol. Sure, this theory checks out in some of the oldest images of this seed — those found on ancient Cyrenaic (now Libya) coins. However, if you look up a plain old “silphium seed” the results are less convincing. Also, the “contraceptive” part?

The Steve Miller Band talks about the Pompatus of Love, I could not find that in the dictionary.  What is it? Kam - Texas “Pompatus” is, indeed, a made-up word, but Mr. Miller didn’t exactly coin it. He has admitted in the past to have been influenced by a 1954 doo-wop hit by the Medallions called “The Letter.” Written by Vernon Green, the song contains the line “Oh my darling, let me whisper sweet words of pizmotality and discuss the puppetutes of love.” According to Green, he’d made up the word “puppetutes” to describe his fantasy paper-doll, or puppet-like, girl. In a “’scuse me while I kiss this guy” moment, Miller transposed “puppetutes” into “pompatus.”

At what point in your relationship did you realize you were dealing with a narcissist and the relationship was just way too unhealthy for you to be in? Lorin Reznor - Boston, Mass When it was Waaaaaay toooo late. Usually people only find out after they broke up do they suspect they are more than just a garden-variety asshole. According to the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (United States, 2004–2005) narcissistic personality disorder occurs in 6.2% of the general population, both sexes, all races. It occurs in 4.8% of women.

Written by Megan Mitchell for The Metropolitan News. BullyOne and I did a slew of monthly art shows called "The Pitbull Art Show" where we sold art as a for profit business in order to help awareness and Pitbull sanctuary in Denver Colorado, Where they have breed bans. These shows were extremely successful and launched our location to allow some very notable guest artists and some of the craziest afterparties on SantaFe. This is just one of the many articles that were written, this one in a major College paper my our very own fan Megan, who has been with us since the beginning. One of our promo videos edited by BullyOne

Episode 24 includes my adventures at Vermont's very first SpeedCubing Competition.  I met all sorts of awesome people and even had some cuber buddies with me filming with extra cameras. It includes interviews with a variety of folks and fun times watching the speed of these incredible athletes. Yes, I said athletes, there were some injuries during competition that required medical attention. Enjoy.

As published on 303magazine.com When I first entered LewisOne’s exhibit, “Pus and Pups:  LewisOne’s Little Naughty and Nice Art Show,” at Denver’s First Friday Art Walk, I was a little terrified.   I looked to the left to a wall full of animal drawings and quickly relaxed.  Then, a dog approached me with a hot pink tie on and I laughed. (Phew) One thing for sure is Peter Lewis, known as LewisOne, is one of the few that fall on both Santa’s naughty and nice list. LewisOne’s art show featured an array of erotic paintings on one side and cute animals on the other side.  This peculiar mixture of art benefits Pitbull education, no kill animal shelters as well as raised money for breast and testicular cancer. I couldn’t help myself, but to stare at the very sexual, very erotic pictures.  When asked if I could take pictures, Peter Lewis joked that I should find the most graphic one and share with all my friends on Facebook.  The problem was each drawing was more graphic than the next.  But then again, what better way to raise money for breasts than to draw them, right? Other artists at the show were raw artist, Liana Van de Water, as well as animal portrait expert, BullyOne.  Liana Van de Water’s cosmic art explores energy, the universe and the mysterious sky above us.  Jesse Eastburn, also know as BullyOne, hopes to change the way people view the stereotypical scary Pitbulls through his art. Special guest, Sammy, who just so happens to be a four -legged friendly blue heeler, walked around modeling WearLewisOne, which is handmade apparel for pets.  It includes everything from ties, bandanas to some classy bowties. So whether you’re looking to decorate your place with erotic pictures that will surely have your friends talking or just want  to dress up your furry friends for the holidays, visit OG LewisOne’s website at www.LewisOne.com Article by: Kim Betzner on 303magazine.com

What kind of food is fried-out Kombi??? Josephali Randal - UK I do love my 80's music, punk, new-wave, industrial.  That is me spinning round round baby like a what ever it is... Men at Work's Songs including "Down Under" is full of Australian slang, which is what made much of it indecipherable to those of us above the Equator. The whole verse: “Traveling in a fried-out Kombi” ... “He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich” ... “Where beer does flow and men chunder” A “Kombi” is what is officially called a Volkswagen Type 2 in Oz, but the nickname comes from its German moniker: Kombinationskraftwagen. Americans know it better as a VW Microbus. Vegemite is an Aussie favorite—a spreadable paste made from brewer’s yeast, vegetables, wheat, and some assorted spices. They slather it on toast, hide it inside pastries, and layer it between slices of bread to make a delectable sandwich. Chunder is what a lot of folks do after consuming too much beer, or other alcohol, or spoiled food, or during a bout of the flu. In other words, el barfo.

How do I master sales? I mean, I want to be a sales Ninja and knock out the competition. Jeff Schumaster -Pueblo, Colorado Keep failing until something catches on. The more you keep trying and doing it wrong, the more you learn about how to do it right. Don’t be afraid of experimenting. The big focus on successful sales is to think about how you are going to get the people who you are selling to to trust you enough to give you money. Keeping this in mind and pursuing that as a goal is very helpful. The key to successful selling… in almost all cases, is developing a keen empathy and understanding of prospective customers. Know exactly how your product or service will help that customer and an understanding of the thinking process that your customer experiences in order to move from not knowing about your product to buyer who parts with their money.

Who is the Purple Gang Elvis Presley Talked about in Jailhouse Rock? 2nd Biggest Elvis Fan OK, more jail questions... almost. Thanks to its proximity to Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Detroit was an important stop on the Underground Booze Railroad during Prohibition. Liquor, legal in Canada, was smuggled across the Ambassador Bridge or even driven in Model Ts across the frozen Detroit River during the winter, where it then generally ended up in the hands of the notorious Purple Gang. What Al Capone and his gang were to Chicago, Sammie Cohen, the Bernstein brothers, and the rest of the Purples were to Detroit. The Purple Gang started out as a pipeline for Canadian whiskey to Capone, but eventually a turf war ensued.

Sometimes I feel like we are part of the same person but just into two different bodies. I feel like I cannot live without her (and I'm not an easy outgoing guy who cant live without a gf, I'm a bit of a loner), I often remember her eyes, her smile, her lips and the smell of her hair whe not here with me. Sometimes I think she erases all the bad memories of my life, my s*** childhood wandering in ukraine with all the other kids in my quad, spending our time without sense, as if our life was meaningless. The feeling of being alone in this world, without parents, without someone to protect you and be there for you. I was always alone like a stray dog, guess I had depression since I was a child. Then in the school in italy the kids were mean, the said: you s*** slavic, come back to where you came from, the teachers said i wasnt good at studying (although I was always a good student in my country, just maybe a little introvert but I did well in all the subjects.) Boone Joslin - Kansas Damn Dude!!!  Here's the thing... I would suggest getting in to see a qualified psychologist and see about checking in with psychiatric drugs as well to calm yourself down a bit.

Queen says some weird shit.  What is Scaramouche?? and I didn't think Fandango was around in the 80's?? Carol Archer -Boulder, Colorado Yes, Queen is a weird but awesome band.  In their Bohemian Rhapsody, they say: “Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?” ... “Bismillah! No!” Scaramouche is a traditional clown character featured in Italian commedia dell'arte. He is a stock character in Punch and Judy shows and often gets his head knocked off of his shoulders by Punch. The fandango is a lively couples dance usually accompanied by guitars, hand claps and castanets. "Bismillah" is an Arabic word that means "in the name of God." It is used at the head of almost every chapter in the Holy Quran.

Lately I’ve been really bad as far as my issues with anxiety and most particularly in public or social situations. I want to talk to my doctor about help, Do anti depressants work for social anxiety? Carol Archer -Boulder, Colorado Now for the drug talk.  Here's the thing about depressants.

You have a sketchy past, what is prison like? I did something really bad and have to go to court for it and my lawyer says it does not look good. JImmy Garcia -Denver, Colorado Yeah. This.  So I have always had amazing high paid evil lawyers.  These amazing overpaid demons from the depths of hell, who went to expensive White collar elite colleges like Princeton, Harvard, and Yale, have granted me the opportunity to not have had the pleasure of any of the following fun jail-time activities: It’s always noisy, 24/7 Your body cavities will be searched. The other inmates will try to steal everything you have. Guards may treat you in a gross manner; “The best part of you ran down your mother’s leg.” Communication with loved ones is greatly reduced. No matter what is cooked, the food tastes the same every day. Your habits—sugar, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine—go unsatisfied. You won’t be able to choose your favorite TV show. You will walk through the prison unit in single file looking straight ahead. You will hear metal gates/doors slamming and clanking inside the building If you work in the field, you will be on your feet in the sun all day long. The guards watching you will be nearby and be irritated by the heat, but they are sitting on their horses. Many units have no a/c. The commode has no seat; you will sit on metal and you will share the cell with another. Many units have “tanks” where the men live together; some overcrowded units have their inmates living in tents—in Texas this can be life threatening. Some inmates are armed with “shanks,” homemade knives. You will never have enough money to buy the little goodies you desire at the PX So Jimmy.  I would say that you need to superglue your butt cheeks together, dress in drag, and do what you are told by those in charge (like your roomie) and be the very best bottom you can be during your stay in the... Hoosegow, mainline joint, skinner joint, stoney lonesome, con college, glasshouse, bucket, club fed, greybar hotel, big house, slammer, calaboose, castle, cooler, country club, crowbar hotel, digger, farm, guardhouse, hole, joint, jug, juvie, pen, pokey, rock, sneezer, stockade, the clink.

My BFF just fell and broke her leg at cheer practice.  Now her mom, who use to neglect her all the time, caters to her every whim and takes her shopping all the time.  She is even going to buy her a car right after her leg heals.  At school she gets so much attention from everyone and the boys always offer to carry her books and sometimes even carry her to class.  It makes me so sick.  I am thinking of breaking my leg now.  What is the least painful way to break my leg? Marggie -Boulder, Colorado Are you out of your %U*Y%* mind??? No matter what it would be a horrible idea to break your leg. Let me tell you a story about my buddy Chad growing up.  Chad prayed to God for his mom to pay more attention to him.  One day he fell off his bike and broke both legs and both arms putting him in a quadra cast.  Guess What??  He got lots of attention from his mommy who had to help him to pee and wipe his butt like he was two years old.  For six months.  Yeah, he got attention. Just be happy with the knowledge that when she gets her cast off, she is going to have to shave that leg twice as often as the other one.  You can laugh all you want at her noon leg shadow during cheer practice.

MY GF DUMPED ME WILL COCAINE DO THE WORK TO KEEP ME CALM??? Alberto - Colorado It will work wonders. However, if you had started it before she broke up with you then your sex life would have been so amazing that she might not have left until you lost all your teeth.

I just got fired from my job at Jack-In-The-Box for hitting on the smoking hot manager.  It seems like they are discriminating against me for her sexually harassing me.  What does she expect, she's hot? Should I burn the place down?  I want to go get a bunch of gas and light that building on fire. Janice - Portland, Oregon Uh, dude.  NO.  As a psychologist I am legally obligated to tell someone about this.  Burning some place down not only destroys property, but could put lives in danger.  We don't want anyone dead. Besides, gas is way too expensive right now.

I want a psychiatrist friend who would come over when I needed and counsel me. Faraz Chandaer -Germany I want a psychiatrist friend who would come over when I needed and council me.   I want a mechanic friend that will come over all the time and fix my cars. Oh, and a maid friend too.  But unfortunately all my friends are raging alcoholics and panhandlers who think my house is a place to hang out and do lines of cocaine in my bathroom while texting their wives that they have to stay late at work again. I’m guessing you need decent friends and not free professionals to hang out with you. If things are really that bad, try checking our yahoo answers. If that isn’t cutting it, I hear barkeeps are pretty knowledgeable. Actually there was this one time when I was coming down from a regular does of Benadryl and I realized that I had been living with what I though was a wicked awesome woman but come to find out it was a 35 year old pot belly pig name Juniper. So I went to this bar about 3 blocks from the apartment I was renting (which was leased in Junipers name, go figure) and the barkeep there was so ticked off because he said I smelled like a barnyard, which of course made me breakdown into hysterics and so he offered me a hit of whiskey. His name was Benji or Jed, something trendy like that. And so I looked at him and said “Hey man, I need someone to talk to.” He proceeded to roll his eyes and tell me that’s not part of his job. But I kept talking anyways. Before I knew it like 4 hours had passed and I had had like 15 tall waters (cause I forgot my wallet back with Juniper) and I couldn’t pay for anything else. And wouldn’t you know it, this girl walked over and said “Hey man, did you just say you had a pig name Juniper?” and I was all like “Yeah, sort of” and she was all “That’s my pig. I had a wild couple of months and lost her”. And that’s when I knew that I really loved that pig because there was no way I was going to let this chick take her from me. Long story short…. I have no clue where I was going with that.

Hypothetically speaking, What should I do if I accidentally killed the neighbors dog? Mishka - Colorado The number one rule to public relations is admit to what you did wrong and do what you can to fix it...

I want to impress people with a nice expensive watch, maybe gold with diamonds.  What would you suggest? Jamone Smith - Lexington, Colorado If you are not pimping a Rhodium Watch encrusted with Red Diamonds you are not rocking the jewelry. If you are looking for flashy so people think you are rich, don't wear gold, it's poor people accessories, go with the true valued stuff.

Q: My wife and I are considering eating the placenta after our baby is born.  We are doing a water home birth and learned that this is a guaranteed way to ensure a long and successful life for our baby.  I have not found any credible information about this online and when we asked our doctor he said not to do it.  I know the doctor is an idiot, so how do we go about this?? A: Oh boy.  Or girl.

What is the Greatest Song of All Time???? Max - Salem, Oregon With no doubt I am torn between Beastie Boys with Sure Shot or my Favorite Rapper Slick Rick in his amazing lyrical masterpiece "anything that comes out of his mouth is the greatest rap of all time." The B-Boyz.... The Master Mic-ologist

I want to become a Doctor but when I took an IQ test it scored a 56 and my parents say that I need to rethink my life plan.  Is it possible for me to still be a Doctor? Nancy - Colorado That's a pretty impressive number there Mr. Charlie.

Is it wrong to hate a certain race?  I don't understand why I can't have my preferences. Kamereon - Florida There is nothing wrong with it at all.  Personally I absolutely hate marathons.  Those things suck. Of course like everyone, I enjoy watching the start when the handi people are tripping over the handicapped people, or even the finish where everyone seems to be balling their eyes out and get attacked by family congratulating them on a great race. But the 14 1/2 hours in between bores me to death. Triathlons scare the hell out of me because I'm afraid of water and Bicycles remind me of clowns, by other great fear. I'm still horrified when I was watching the "Boulder Boulder" in Colorado and needed to pee.  Went to the port-a-potty and there was poop a foot above the top of the bowl.  I could only ponder how over the course of the morning these healthy eating athletes had to magically hover over the top to add to the pile because there was no pull up bar at the top..... Nascar.  Now that's something to watch, especially when they crash and wreck their pretty $1.5 million dollar car, get doused with a fire extinguisher, and jump out of the car waiving at a cheering drunk crowd.

Is Mount Rushmore just government sanctioned vandalism or graffiti? Jason Rhoads -Montana Resident Peter Norbeck sponsored the project and secured federal funding on public land and it was considered an American shrine according to the request for federal money. I would say that since the Native Americans called is slaughter mountain that the “Shrine” in question would highlight the previous presidents that fought to allow Indians to keep their…. maybe not. But it did cost a mere million bucks in 1927 and the revenue today from this federal funded graffiti is $177 million per year. So the government is making BANK from this vandalism. Not sure what they do with this golden goose of a mountain, but I would pander that it was not to help out the Natives they stole the land from. Just saying.

You seem to know AAAA-lot of pimps, drug dealers and other undesirables, What kind of people do you associate with? Carol Archer -Boulder, Colorado Sweet and Innocent Ms. Archer... When I was growing up I saw on TV America Idolize role models like Police, Firemen, Doctors, & Lawyers (ok maybe not lawyers): However, in the magnificent ghetto where I grew up, my local Pimp/Street Pharmasist made 20 times more money than any Banker, Teacher, or other respectable job having citizen: He was always able to afford his rent, he always had money to eat and feed his family & he could always afford the best grimey lawyers that other people with "real" respectable jobs could not buy. Growing up watching the "product hustlers" we quickly learned: as impressionable 7 to 10 year old kids: about how to make it as a small business: from managing & training your emplyees, buying & selling invetory, networking with other businesses, franchising other locations, buying from foreign markets, public & customer relations, giving & taking bribes, manipulating the legal system, and a lot more usefull talents. Just like those most important lessons we see from CEO's at magnificant companies like Walmart, McDonalds & Mircosoft...

How Far is Mount Rushmore? Jafar - Aurora, Colorado From any point on the planet, you should be able to walk or swim to Mount Rushmore in under 800 days, assuming you get short amount of sleep and don’t get eaten my sharks.

Hello World, Hello World, OG LewisOne here. I'm amused and fascinated by the world around me, above me, and under me. I like solving problems and puzzles between my mental breakdowns and being treated as a lab rat by the medical industry. These blogs are my stories. These blogs are my thoughts, my focuses, the answers to my questions. I survive off self-sabotage and taking the longest route to the end of a problem and waving to those on the short path as they go by. In the 25 years of being an artist I have discovered one thing. It sucks to starve. So, I don't. I wanted a format to vomit my experiences and share with the world one person’s way of being a creative type without starving, being homeless, mooching of everybody else, and ultimately failing. I hope to be a good role model for other aspiring artists. Surviving the lifestyle isn’t always easy, but it does work. In my way of giving back I have started my society of non starving artists where I coach creatives in the business bus aspects of the art world. I also thrive in my own creative projects. I dabble in creative writing for all age, painting on various mediums, and video game designing. My day job isn’t quite as fun, so this will be the outlet for all that creative energy. Hope you have the stamina to keep up!   I hope you enjoy. Peace, love, and happiness, Lewis

My brother eats his boogers, at least 30 a day. He is super fat so I think he is getting too many calories from his boogers.  Are boogers fatening? Mack - Vermont Well, according to scientists boogers are full of protein and can have two or more calories each.  That could amount to 100 or more calories. Now what bothers me is not him eating his boogies, but that you keep track of how many he eats.  I think that him eating boogers has nothing to do with his weight, but you might want to get some professional help because I think you might have a serious case of "Little Brother Booger Voyeurism" as described by Carl Jung in his book "Kids with problems". Serious psychological drugs might be in your future and your brother will no doubt be very happy to bring you special cupcakes when they lock you up at Arkam Asylum.
