Dear Tom: Why Do Things Work?

Hey!  Welcome back!  Hope you’ve had a great week, if not I’m here to lighten up your usually bleak Tuesday morning.  I get a lot of questions about how things work, and why things operate in the fashion that they do.  Some things seem pretty self-explanatory, but I won’t hesitate to share my knowledge.  Here we go!

 

Dear Tom, when taking Tylenol, how does it know where the pain is?

 

Each pill functions much like a heat seeking missile. The medicine is actually comprised of nano seek-and-destroy robots. Imagine what havoc they wrecked before they patented the locking targeting system.  The expiration date exists because the targeting system malfunctions after so long, and if you’re not careful you are just as likely to cure the pain as you are to become a mindless nano zombie creature run by the nano bots that have taken over your body.

 

Oh yeah, original artwork baby.

 

Dear Tom, is it true that STD’s are like Pokemon?  Once you catch one, you gotta catch em’ all?

 

Actually, STD’s are more like a Share Size Skittles bag.  All your friends are going to get at least one from you!

 

I'm not good enough to photoshop STD on the package, so just imagine it!

 

Well kids, I’m hoping that you take this knowledge and use it to further your life goals.  If you can’t manage that, tell someone else and hopefully get a laugh out of them.  I’d love to answer any questions you have.  If you think you have a question you want me to answer, you can send it to me in an email at tomkimes@8daysageek.com.  You can follow me on Twitter, I’m @DarkMenzo.  Feel free to ask questions there too!  Thanks for stopping by!
