"FIGHTING IGNORANCE SINCE 1973 ... (It's taking longer than we expected)."

Such is the motto of The Straight Dope--the weekly newspaper column begun by serial wise-cracker Cecil Adams in Chicago in 1973, syndicated all over the country not long after that, and now on the Web:

Go straight to the index to skip the marketing stuff and get Cecil's inimitable answers to questions like, "How come when men get old, hair starts growing in their ears and nose?" and "Does eating rice at weddings cause birds to explode?" Not only do you get the real answers to these important questions, but you also you get them in Mr. Adams' always surly and usually funny style. The only way to do him justice is to quote him, and we don't have room to do that.
