 *****
Mister Answer Man,

why do the old

Wibbily Wobbly Timey Wimey European Buildings

have statues of

Mythical Looking Creatures

hanging on them?

Having a series of grotesque statues and faces on the outside of your building might not seem like an obvious thing to do, but the frequency of them — from the Hunky Punks and rather obscene Sheela na gigs of Ireland and the UK to true Gargoyles, like the one above from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris — proves otherwise. To get technical, it's a form of apotropaic magic; something intended to scare away evil. And true gargoyles serve another, much more practical purpose as well — their mouths are spouts that channel rainwater off the roofs of churches!

Why does it smell like wood burning on

Alaska Airlines

flights?

To tell you the truth,

it doesn't smell like burning wood-chips on any

Alaska Airline Flight,

it was just the recent headlines on some

News Feed

that wanted you to believe that the airline was using wood to fly it jets.

Like the one on

Newsmax.com.

Flight Powered by Wood Chips a First for Alaska Airlines.
"An Alaska Airlines flight powered by wood chips made a historic trip across country Monday as the first using renewable, alternative jet fuel produced with the help of the Washington State University-led Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance. The demonstration flight – from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. – used forest residuals, including the limbs and branches that remain after the harvesting of managed forests, according to a statement from Alaska Airlines and the university. The fuel was a 20 percent blend of the sustainable bio-fuel, which officials said was chemically indistinguishable from regular jet A fuel, the statement noted. This latest milestone in Alaska's efforts to promote sustainable bio-fuels is especially exciting since it is uniquely sourced from the forest residuals in the Pacific Northwest, Joe Sprague, Alaska Airlines' senior vice president of communications and external relations, said in the statement. NARA's accomplishments and the investment of the U.S. Department of Agriculture provide another key in helping Alaska Airlines and the aviation industry reduce its carbon footprint and dependency on fossil fuels, he continued."

There you have it.
