If you smile, does it stop the gag reflex or is this just a myth?-BrI
BrI,
This is an interesting theory, one that I admit I have never heard before. I approached this problem with careful thought and planning. To begin with, I pondered the myth itself. Why would such a thing come about? What is it […]

What would be the fastest way to tie your shoes???
Is there more than one way?? I would like to know, because I’m a very busy man and I need a quicker way than the “bunny ears” theory.
Steven, What a sad world we live in when an individual feels too busy to spend […]
Dear Ask Miah, I am having a lot of trouble in my “sex” life. When I was three, I had a hernia and lost my left testicle. My girlfriend says she loves the fact I only have one. But when I walk down the street, I can feel myself leaning to the right side- the […]
Hi Miah, Do penguin’s have fur if so how much fur?
To answer this question, it may be useful to recall some basic biology. In some biology class, hopefully, you learned about the varying kingdoms used to classify organisms, one being the animal kingdom. Further, you learned about the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates and, finally, […]
Dear Miah, Who really is the smartest man alive?
(answer: Miah. But for arguments sake…)
That depends on your measure of intelligence. MENSA holds that Nikos Ligeros, a math and computer science professor, has the highest IQ ever recorded-189. A 100 IQ score is generally accepted as average, so this man is 89% smarter than most […]

“Dear Miah: How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Tootsie Roll Center Of A Tootsie Pop?”
To carry out this experiment, I would need tootsie roll pops. I procured $1.00 from the Scoop City coffers and made my way down to the local convenience store. I purchased three lollipops, cherry flavor, at 15 […]
Dear Miah, how cold does it have to be to snow? Sincerely: Celina
The simple answer: below 0 degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or 273.15 degrees Kelvin, the freezing point. But there are no easy answers.
You see, snow falls from very high up. That is why it hits you on top of the head instead of […]
Dear Miah,What was the greatest football game ever played?
Sincerely: Robert
That distinction belongs to the December 28, 1958 championship game between the then Baltimore Colts (led by the recently deceased Johnny Unitas) and the New York Giants. With 90 seconds to game in the game, Unitas completed four passes to get his team into field […]
“Dear Miah: Where does the phrase Cold Turkey originate from?”
-Otis, Dearborn Michigan
Ah, the turkey!
America’s favorite fowl. Not in terms of consumption; the chicken is farm more consumed. But can any other poultry claim to capture the hearts of our dear nation like this bird has? I think not. Especially in this latter part of the […]
