Ever have this happen; drinking at a bar and you are kind of buzzed, feeling good, but not close to drunk. You can still carry on a conversation, see clearly (the other person isn't checking you out, give up), and come off to others as in control and coherent. You can remember everything you’ve said and done the entire evening.Then you hit the night air. All hell breaks loose. You are now piss drunk, slurring, stumbling and the evening is a hot mess of a blur.
What the hell is that?
You step outside and every ounce of alcohol ingested over the course of the evening hits the bloodstream simultaneously, like Sally trailerpark at Target on Black Friday morning.
I don’t remember this topic getting any coverage on Mr. Wizard. I might have missed that episode though.
"Today on Mr. Wizard…. static electricity….making a delicious snack from baking soda and rock salt…. and why fresh air spikes your buzz."
Can we get a study done on this phenomenon? I'm sure there is some government money floating around. If not, I will take up a collection for funding if necessary.
Who wouldn’t throw in a fin to get the answer to this question?

What I want to know is why does a greasy hamburger always taste so good at 2 AM after a night of drinking?
Mr. Wizard...whatever happened to Don Herbert?
Much like the meat in your 2 a.m. hamburger, he has been dead for years.
But not as tasty.
Well I don't know what to say. To MS. Heather McD, I would say that around here, when the late show gets out, and everyone is tired of bowling, the Denny's, Waffle house's and such like are always filled up on the week ends. All I can say is that double Chesse burger or greasy steak sandwich don't tast so good the next day at 11 or 12. We can say NEVER AGAIN, but we know we will eventually. Like soft serve ice cream or doughnuts. On a different note Chris, since it is the new year, how about a word on house cleaning. I started out on a modest adventure, and I kid you not, now We are having a dumpster delvered to the house Wednesday. That much crap builds up in ten years. Except for clothes going to the Salvation Army or Good Will( Did I ever really think I could wear 34 waist jeans again at age 49) every thing is quite ruthless. Excepet for pictures and family mementoes, if it has not been used in three years , INTO THE DUMPSTER! ( What, You mean my side by side cassete dubbing stereo system? Yes, and while we are at it that set of dishes from your third aunt once removed that has been in the closet for 5 years). Cheers Chris, Hope you get the chance to accumulate as much rubbiish. ( three electic motors - Well , you never know...)

It's not the night air, but the movement that prompt the enhancement of your "buzz". You see, your movements within the bar are limited, at best, and when you go to leave, your circulatory system goes into overdrive to pump needed oxygen to your now moving muscles, along with its alcoholic infusion from your efforts at the bar. The alcohol-laced blood now reaches circulates even better through your body, reaching previously unactivated areas of the brain.
Wow! I didn't just answer one question, but two: why night air enhances your buzz and why you never ask someone with Asperger's Syndrome a question!
Next, Cindy from Chicago writes;
"Dear Mr. Useless-Triva,
Why do men have nipples?"
Excellent question, Cindy! Men have nipples because women are the prototype for the human animal. Firstly, all humans are female until the introduction of testosterone in the womb. Also, mitochondrial DNA (female DNA) is over 200,000 years older than male DNA on the Y chromosome. Therefore, the first human was a woman, not a man - sorry Adam!
It would have to be a male first, because God is a Father and created Adam and EVE.
