Do cats have disposable thumbs?
Answer: Some polydactyl cats present "mitten paws," which occurs when the extra toes are attached on the medial side, or "thumb" side of the paw. This can lead to a cat that appears to have opposable thumbs. Some cats have learned to manipulate the extra digits like a human thumb.

Mine was:
Is your prescription for glasses different than your prescription for contact?
This is really funny to me, since I just went to the optometrist yesterday for my annual exam.
P.S. I had no idea that if you're blind enough, your contacts can be considered medically necessary! Apparently I have crossed that line, and I only had to pay $25 for a year's worth of contacts.

Mine was: What is the hormone that wakes you up? And the answer was: To prepare for the stress of waking, your body releases a cocktail of stress hormones, like cortisol. Gradually, your sleep becomes lighter and lighter. And that's why you wake up before your alarm. Your body hates your alarm clock. That is what I got too.

After watching John McCain's funeral yesterday and seeing Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton sitting together, and hearing President Obama speak, all of which made me sad for what we used to have in our leadership... Well, my Google question was:
"How many electoral votes did Obama win in 2012?"
Answer: "The president won the popular vote in 26 states and the District of Columbia, totaling 332 electoral votes, or 62 more than the 270 needed to win the presidency. Romney won 24 states with 206 electoral votes. Obama won 365 electoral votes in 2008."
sigh....
