I dont get why its called diarrhea, there plenty slang word that sound much more realistic, why in hell did they call it diarrhea or is it latin or something and if so does it mean squittery or what.

In my family we've alway ate a lot of battered food, with battered sausage, battered fish, fritters, battered sweet 'n' sour excetera and also when we get food to go its often battered fish, battered onion rings, samosas, chicken in batter excetera so I was wondering is it okay to ate all that batter because of it being made from flour which is a vegetible. Does it being a vegetible mean it counts as one of the Five A Day?

I was wondering who it was that originally unleashed skinheads onto the world. I think it happened in London around the time when the Kray Twins ruled the criminal underworld, so was it them that invented the whole thing? Or did someone else create skinheads and then the Krays used them as enforcers in the East End of London? I can't imagine skinheads just happened out of nowhere, so they must've been someone's idea, as a means to an end. If it wasn't the Krays who dreamed them up, who else might it have been? I mean, who else would want to unleash hundreds and hundreds of skinheads, kicking people with the boot?

I was wondering whether the missile base which the Russians built on the moon in the 1980s is still manned or did Gorbachev shut it down after the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks? If it was closed down, was it dismantled and the missiles taken back to Russia or is everything still up there but mothballed? And what kind of missiles were they? The reason I'm asking is I don't trust Putin one inch and he's the kind of guy who would reactivate the missile base if it's still there, so he could threaten the whole world. I can't find this info on Wikipedia but then I don't know the name of the missile base so I can't do a proper search. Thanks.

Naturism took off in Germany in the 1890s and is still bigger there than in any other European country. By 1935 naturism was recognised by (and financially assisted) the government itself and was eventually embraced by the Nazis as part of the Kraft Durch Freude movement ('Strength Through Joy') because it was seen as a health-giving outdoor activity. Even SS officers were keen naturists. So now I'm wondering whether Hitler himself was a nudist too. He obviously didn't think it was a degenerate activity or else he would've banned it outright. The very fact that Communists and Jews were barred from membership of naturist clubs in the 1930s suggests that naturism was considered an activity suitable only for the Aryan race. So was Hitler himself a naturist? And if so, where did he parade around in his pelt? Were there naturist clubs for the seniormost members of the Nazi hierarchy?

Like, was the guy ever in an art-house movie or a costume drama or anything even vaguely credible? Or did he only ever do action movies and dodgy comedies? If so, maybe he might like to start producing his own art-house movies when he quits politics, starring himself as a deeply sensitive man with a pronounced female side or maybe as a gay man persecuted by the Nazis or some such. Or am I living in ignorance and has he already been in those kinds of movies?

Is pornography referred to as filth because that's what it actually is? Or is it called that because it messes some people up in the head, like it's clogging their brains with dirt? Or is it called filth because the people in it are dirtbags? Or is 'filth' just a word that devoutly religious people like to throw around when referring to things that don't tie in with their beliefs? Or is it filth because the people who publish or produce pornography are human filth and it's their handiwork so it must be filth too?

This word 'filth' has been flung at pornography for centuries now, but how did it come to be used in the first place and why? Thanks for your thoughts.

If it says in a book that someone's bowels were opened, does it mean they had their innards torn out and ripped open as a punishment, like when people were hanged, drawn and quartered in the olden days and had their bowels cut out and burned? Or is there any other meaning to a person's bowels being opened? Is there another sense in which someone can open somebody else's bowels? Or does it mean he opened his own bowels? If so, how would a person open up their own bowels? I don't get it.

It seems to me that a prostate gland is like an appendix, i.e. it has no sensible function and only exists to go wrong and do you harm. So why don't doctors remove them from men's bodies when they're still young? After all, women seem to get on fine without prostate glands, so why wouldn't men? Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, so why not just get shot of the thing at the earliest opportunity? Wouldn't that make sense? Or am I missing something here?

Were there already Nazis before Adolf Hitler came to power and if so was it them that sank the Titanic? If so, what did they hope to gain by torpedoing it? Were they just trying to start the First World War two years early? Or were they trying to take out British shipping before the First World War even began? Or was it because Winston Churchill was on board the Titanic and they wanted to kill him before he could defeat them?

Is He just putting it there on the sidewalks to test us - so that He can find out whether we're genuinely good people who continue to be good and kind even when we've just stepped in poop? Is that the idea? Otherwise I just can't see what He's playing at. I stepped in dog dirt on the way from my car to my front door today and ended up treading it into the carpet indoors before I even realised what was happening. I ended up cursing quite a lot. Will God hold it against me that I failed His dog dirt test? If so, how will He punish me? Or is dog dirt on the sidewalk not a test from God at all?

I know that God has the power to forgive people who truly repent their sins, but even if Chuck Berry repented, the recording of 'My Ding-a-Ling' is still out there and so are the damaged people who were encouraged to like the song back in 1972. So will Chuck Berry go to hell all the same for having recorded something so morally base?

I'm guessing that in spite of the occasional squabbles and misunderstandings between their respective followers, Jesus Christ and the Prophet Mohammed were basically the same person, saying the same things. Is that right? I mean, it's all one religion really, isn't it?

I don't live in the USA so my knowledge of the finer points of Mr Trump's background is a bit lacking. For instance, is he known to have any significant health issues which might result in his dropping dead any time soon?

I had a G.I. Joe action figure when I was a kid and so did my brother, they were probably our favourite toys. Of course when you change their uniforms etcetera you got to strip the toy man naked first. I grew up straight but my brother grew up gay, so suddenly I'm wondering if he's gay cos of his G.I. Joe toy. I mean, they bill the toy as a serviceman who can wear an assortment of different uniforms, which sounds sorta okay - but if they simply billed it as a toy man for boys to have fun undressing, there'd be a big outcry and people'd say it was encouraging kids to grow up gay. Me, I don't know what to think. Did any of you who owned a G.I. Joe toy grow up wanting to do gay stuff like get naked with other guys? I never did, but maybe that's just cos my brain is wired different. Okay, you might say that almost all girls own dolls and most girls don't grow up lesbian, but there's something really testosteronish about G.I. Joe and maybe some boys just get gripped by the whole idea of naked muscular soldiers because they had a G.I. Joe toy. What do you think? This isn't meant to be an offensive question, I'm just wondering what other folks think.

I mean, is that why he had the big beard? I don't tend to think of Victorian sportsmen as having really, really big beards, so was it a faith thing with W G Grace? And was his real name even Grace or was that a faith thing too, witnessing to his god, the same as with the beard?

I'm growing a droopy moustache and my British friends tell me I should combine it with a mullet hairstyle for maximum effect, i.e. bird-pulling. I didn't know about the mullet style when I was growing up in Malta, but I'm told the hairstyle is a real ***** magnet, especially in Germany and America. Is it true that girls will fling themselves at me if I combine the zapata moustache with a mullet? Thanks.

And which cat was it anyway? And where was it supposed to have taken place? And how long ago is it meant to have happened? And is the mat in a museum somewhere? It all looks rather hazy to me. Anyone?

I need to go and test-drive a 2008 manual transmission (stickshift) Mitsubishi Colt and I was wondering about how you shift into reverse gear. Do you lift the gearstick up? Or push down on it? Or is there a button on the gearstick knob which you press in before moving the stick?

Thanks for your help, comrades.
