    They happily reunite, make love, etc. Then, the next morning, Lo finds Jen standing on the bridge over a big gorge. She reminds him of the legend of a young boy who jumped from the mountain to gain his wish, and flew away, knowing that the wish was granted. Then she asks him to make a wish; he does, and wishes for them to be together in the desert.

  4. Do women derive pleasure from anal sex? - Straight Dope

    boards.straightdope.com/t/do-women-derive-pleasure-from...

    I don’t think I have the google-fu to find a scientific answer to this question. I know men do because of their prostate, but do women? I mean there is a lot of porn with anal sex but that doesnt really mean anything since the majority of porn is made for men. If so, is it comparable to the amount of pleasure they get from vaginal intercourse? Or when straight couples do anal, is the woman ...

  5. How to completely dismantle a Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo...

    boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-completely-dismantle-a...

    I’ve sold a rainforest jumperoo on ebay, advertising it as “yes, I will post, in original box, with all original instructions, blah blah”. Which is all true. Only problem is, I hadn’t fully dismantled it before selling, and now I realise, I have no idea how to get the toys out of the centrepience without damaging them, and judging by half an hours googling various parenting sites ...

  6. What Does Tony the Tiger Say in Mexico? - Straight Dope

    boards.straightdope.com/t/what-does-tony-the-tiger-say-in...

    I recently purchased a box of frosted flakes cereal for a gift. It was from Mexico and made by Kellog’s. It was branded Zucaritas. It had a picture of Tony the Tiger (El Tigre Antonio?) on the box. In the United States (and maybe parts of Canada) Tony the Tiger says, “They’re Grrrrrreat!” That is a play on the sound tigers make ---- grrrrrr. But what does Tony the Tiger say in Mexico ...

  7. Power lines and AM radio - Factual Questions - Straight Dope

    boards.straightdope.com/t/power-lines-and-am-radio/456160

    I’ve noticed that whenever I drive under high voltage power transmission lines (i.e. the kind carried on large towers, not just standard commercial/residential service lines) that the radio is drowned out with noise. It’s not exactly a hum, and it isn’t at 60Hz, either. This only happens when listening to AM, not to FM. I could see how power lines might induce 60Hz AC on the radio ...

  8. Please explain what Dog the Bounty Hunter does and how he makes...

    boards.straightdope.com/t/please-explain-what-dog-the...

    I’m not referring to the TV show but his bail & bounty business. I’ve watched a few blips from the show but I’m not sure I’ve watched one in its entirety- I understand from what I’ve seen that he’s more of a bail bondsman than a bounty hunter in the “chasing down criminals with a price on their head” variety. I understand generally how bail works (not from personal experience ...

  9. Why do people pose for photographs while giving the middle finger...

    boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-people-pose-for...

    None of my family or friends do this when posing for snapshots, so I’d have to say this is a “consider the source” type of thing. If it’s “the thing to do” with your crowd, I’d suggest that you drop the introspection and just get with the program. In other words… ask your friends why they do it.

  10. US Military Salute: Palm Out vs. Palm Horizontal

    boards.straightdope.com/t/us-military-salute-palm-out-vs...

    American servicemen and servicewomen salute officers with their palms downward, like this. British servicemen and servicewomen salute officers with their palms outward, like this (scroll down to sixth picture). In the movie Glory, set in the US Civil War, officers are saluted the British way. When did the American custom change, and why?

  11. Why do Ball Park franks plump when you cook 'em?

    boards.straightdope.com/t/why-do-ball-park-franks-plump...

    I read that hot dogs are pretty much mostly fat and water with some odd ball parts for protein. (Of course, this was in Biggest Secrets, but it sounds relatively true.) I’m comfortable with the fact, and enjoy a good hot dog from time to time with no ill regrets. What makes me wonder, is why do they plump when you cook 'em? And as an extra aside, what really is in hot dogs? Partially ...
