Afterword

If you've made it this far, you've read 1,000 questions and 1,000 answers, and you are now smarter in exactly zero ways. Congratulations. The truth is, there are no dumb questions, only dumb answers, and this book is full of them. Every question here came from someone curious, and curiosity is how people figured out fire, flight and frozen pizza. So keep asking. Ask the bee. Ask the toaster. Ask Gerald. Just don't ask the geese, because Brent is still upset about question 13. Acknowledgments

Thanks to Linda, Brent and the goose who declined to be named, for their honking. Thanks to Marjorie, who has finally gone home. Thanks to every retail worker who answered question 55 with a straight face. And thanks to the crab from question 18: we're still sorry.
