“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, 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, as a woman, why does fat go straight to my hips and thighs?”
Blame evolution. The typical female distribution of body fat on hips, buttocks, and thighs is biologically advantageous for conception, and protecting and nourishing the fetus during pregnancy.

“EMom, what’s a healthy amount of weight to lose per week?”
Though some diets promise rapid weight loss, the results can often be short-lived and/or deleterious. Through regular exercise and a healthy diet, you can expect to lose (and keep off) 1-2 lbs a week.

“EMom, does marijuana cure cancer?”
It’s not a cure, but a compound within marijuana, Cannabidiol (CBD), has been demonstrated to halt tumor growth in test animals. As of this writing, human clinical trials haven’t been conducted yet.

“EMom, is the “freshman 15″ a myth?”
It’s an exaggeration. A survey conducted in this regard suggested that students gain an average of 2.7 lbs during their freshman year of college; 50% of respondents gained weight, and 15% lost weight.

“EMom, what are some low-calorie options for beer, wine and mixed drinks?”
When watching caloric intake, avoid darker beers and wines, and sweet-flavored mixed drinks and liquors. Light beers, zinfandel wines, and cocktails such as Mojitos are comparatively low in calories.

“EMom, what kinds of toad do I lick to get high?”
Orally ingesting toad venom of the Bufo Alvarius species can cause hallucinations, though this may also easily result in a dangerous overdose. Drying and smoking the venom may be a safer alternative.

“EMom, is there really a fish that can swim up your pee into your penis?”
Yes. The Candiru, a pencil-thin, parasitic catfish that inhabits the Amazon River, is capable of swimming up a urine stream and (accidentally) lodging itself in the urethra. Don’t pee in the Amazon.
