“EMom, is the US Constitution written on hemp paper?”
Nope. The United States Constitution is written on parchment (dried animal skin, probably calf or lamb). However, it is likely that early drafts of this document were written on hemp paper.

“EMom, do martial artists have to register their hands as lethal weapons?”
It’s possible that a lawyer may attempt to use a defendant’s martial arts training to prove liability in a civil or criminal assault case, but no law requires anyone to register hands, feet, etc.

“EMom, is it true that more people are killed by cows than sharks each year?”
Bovine-related fatalities in the US accounted for 27x the number of deaths (108 people) caused by sharks between 2003 and 2008; blunt head/chest trauma from cow kicks was the primary cause of death.

“EMom, when did manga originate?”
Modern manga first became a cultural phenomenon in post-WWII Japan. Comic art has long roots in Japan; some argue that 18th/19th-century Kibyōshi (adult picture books) were the world’s first comics.

“EMom, what is “butt chugging”?”
This is a method of imbibing alcoholic beverages by pouring them into one’s rectum via a funnel, tubing, etc. The abundance of blood vessels in the rectum leads to faster absorption of the booze.

“EMom, did Abraham Lincoln found the Republican party?”
Lincoln was elected as the 1st Republican president in 1860, but he wasn’t among the party’s founders; it was founded in Ripon, WI in 1854, by abolitionists such as Alvan E. Bovay and Edwin Hurlbut.

“EMom, has Jimmy Hoffa’s body ever been found?”
Not yet. Theories of where his corpse is hiding run the gamut from the Everglades (fed to gators) to under Giants Stadium. Others say he’s still alive, and is shacked up with a go-go dancer in Brazil.

“EMom, how can I tell if a woman is playing hard-to-get, or is just not interested?”
Women are notoriously hard to read. Some signs that she’s REALLY not interested include: not initiating conversations with you; lack of eye contact; brusque, short responses; spraying you with mace.

“EMom, why don’t airplane windows roll down?”
2 reasons: 1) to maintain safe pressure, temperature, and oxygen levels within cabins. 2) Opening a window while a plane is in flight will cause oxygen–and passengers–to get sucked right out of it.
