    Ask a question you may have swirling around your head for a while and hopefully someone will provide a decent answer.

    Is there such a thing as nice oven chips?

    Are you better off with nice false teeth or bad teeth of your own?

    Originally Arkansas was known as The Arkansaw Territory.

    The name has just stuck for a lot of people there.

    On the question of false teeth i know a couple of people who lost their teeth through violence and the new false teeth are far better. I see some people with hideous teeth that a dentist couldn't really do much with and i wonder would they be better off with false teeth.

    Great question to unmask a bullsh***er, anyone who gives you a serious answer to that question you can count as a bulls***er, because nobody has a clue.

    I have millions of questions like that, among todays are how come you don't see fresh figs in the shops the way you see other fruit they grow wild all over the Mediterranean, or why does the bag of oranges say sweet and juicy when in fact they are dry and sour, or how come you don't here more about handball its a very popular sport in some areas ( shout out to my nephew ) and so on.

    Oh they can. Get the right variety of spuds, fry at the right temperature for the right time. Boost the temp to the correct level of the second and third dunk and, voilà, chip shop chips.


    A family member had a chipper and taught me how to do them at home..

    Is intelligent life inevitable or are we alone in the universe?
    If yes, would they have reached our level of creativity? If yes, where are the billions of Voyager type probes launched by these intelligent beings? Surely at least one would have crashed into the moon or come our way in the last 4 billion years.

    They can! Have you tried Maris Piper potatoes? After peeling and chopping (chipping?) I soak them to get some starch out and then they go into the over as I don't like deep fat fryers. I use olive oil even though it's not supposed to be ideal and they still turn out well. You're supposed to fry them in really hot vegetable oil, or oven cook and then fry them.

    Dentist's can't and won't extract healthy teeth.

    I know an older lady who has had false teeth since she was very young, because of an accident. They sound really uncomfortable. She seems to keep returning to her dentist to have them adjusted or something. And a friend who had a heart transplant had to have false teeth for some connected reason but because she's very young for them, she is at risk of losing jawbone density and needs to eventually replace them with dental implants. Obviously, it's better than no teeth!

    Easy into more space. Thing is no one knows and not one single person that is alive on this planet now will know the answer to it either including myself.

    What I will say is what all the super smart astro physicists say is that space is one of two things. It is either like a balloon which means it can only expand so much before it eventually implodes on itself or it is flat which means it can go on forever and there is no limit to it. Take your pick.

    My question is can have a healthy fry or is every fry a potential heart attack?

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Have to say McCains do lovely chips. Am sure there will be lots that think the opposite do.

    Is there such a thing as a healthy fast food restaurant?
