Question of the Day
How long can I keep a whole, frozen turkey in my freezer?
Answer


Puzzle of the Day
Why does a person who is poorly lose his sense of touch?
Answer


In slack wind of November

All the world comes out again
When the fog lifts.

Leaves drop with every gust;
Drifting, rustling, out of sight
In the damp or dust.

–Christina Georgina Rossetti, English poet (1830–94)
