Some questions I would like answered:
Is there intelligent life in the Universe?
What is the elevation of my house and how does it compare to other points in Champaign County?
In the land of the blind, is the one eyed man really king?
Is Dad’s name Isaac Joseph, Joseph Isaac, or Baby Boy?
Will the world end in fire or ice?
I tell my students that someone in the United States in the (grade I am teaching that day) today will go to Mars. Is that true?
When will Georgia get home from the beauty parlor?
Why?
Why not?
I have this thing with time continuity. REALLY, wish I knew the answer. What is the answer?
Why doesn’t anyone want to hear me tell about “Life of Pi”?
A short question:
Favorite books that come to mind:
Bad Girl Rabbits
The Source
Life of PI
The Things They Carried
The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard Feynman
Les Miserables
Hippos Go Berserk!

Did you read blog entry #111? What did you think?
Of Course these questions are not all original, but I still wonder about them.
WHY DID THE CHILDREN PUT BEANS IN THEIR EARS?
"Why did the children
put beans in their ears
when the one thing we told the children
they must not do
was put beans in their ears?
"Why did the children
pour molasses on the cat
when the one thing we told the children
they must not do
was pour molasses on the cat?"

Daniel Pinkwater wrote about a bulletin board where you could leave things or take things. What did he say you could leave or take?
I thought, incorrectly, the first line in Olaf Stapledon’s book “Last and First Men” summarized the history of mankind through our present as. “It was a time of great social and religious turmoil.” The book covers the history of mankind from the beginning to millions of years in our future. The time line was so vast, the one line was all the space he gave to history as we know it. Question: What was the quote and was it really from an Olaf Stapledon book?
Lastly, for now, the first book I remember reading was about a tiny girl who tamed a cockroach by piercing it with a straight pin. She painted the cockroach bright colors and would ride it holding on to the pin. In the end she gets flattened when she hides in an envelope and gets canceled. When the boy finds her he is so sad that he begins to cry and she soaks up the tears and revives. What was the title of this book and who was the author?
