Questions!

Why dont plants need air holes?
–Betsy

They do! They are just incredibly tiny, as pores create water loss, so they stay small and close when they aren’t being used.

Where can i get a cork, made to fit jars that are really big?
–Betsy

How big? Try searching on the internet for “Buy Cork Plug” because the phrase “A Cork” is metonymy.

Is there any reason a tortoise couldnt be potty trained?
–Betsy
No. Any animal can be trained and just because it hasn’t been done doesn’t mean that it can’t be. But that has nothing to do with the fact that there is simply no stated evidence that a Tortoise CAN’T be potty-trained.

How bout[the feasibility of] put[-ting a tortoise] into a clear plastic exercise ball?
–Betsy
As long as an entry point is big enough to fit the Tortoise in it, you can put a tortoise in a clear plastic exercise ball. I doubt the Tortoise would like the exercise ball, because it is very disorienting for any creature at first, but rodents are energetic and curious and adapt quickly to it. But my experience with animals and animal caretakers is that just like all living things, every Tortoise is different.

Do tortoises like going to the beach?
–Betsy
Again, every Tortoise is different.

What is the average IQ of a drug dealer?
–Anonymous
No credible studies have been done, because the premise is illegal, which would cause a storm of red flags for bias, accountability, etc etc. So you can’t really say. The average person’s IQ is periodically re-centered at 100, to keep results updated, since the average person’s IQ is steadily rising, always most heavily in the lower half, called the Flynn Effect.

How much can I sell all my eggs for?
–Betsy
Well, you can’t sell them all at once, but you can sell them individually for about $4,000 apiece. Most women are born with anywhere from 1-2 MILLION eggs, and do not produce more eggs over the course of their lifetime. Interesting fact, if a woman is pregnant with a girl, by month 2, the baby already has all the eggs she will ever possess.

Why do people think calculator watches, fannie packs, and tying your hoodie around your waist are dorky, when they are far more efficient than the alternatives?
–Chris

It’s a preference. Either they disagree about the functionality of it, or they fear rejection for association to something considered negatively abnormal, which is a learned behavior.

Why does my hair get more greasy if I’m lying on the couch all day than if I were out riding my bike and getting all dirty and whatnot?
–Cameron

Your hair gets oily by getting coated in Sebum, a mysterious and near-ubiquitous bodily fluid that lubricates just about anything and everything on your body. If you sweat, your hair is not in danger of drying out, and will not get as oily. And knowing you, you probably take a shower twice a day when you sit around, and five times when you ride your bike. I kid. But not really.

    “Why dont plants need air holes?” I mean how do terrariums work! I can keep a plant in a completely sealed container for months!
