Stalin had yellow eyes? - Factual Questions - Straight Dope

French fries vs. onion rings = cheap vs. expensive. Why?
Jun 3, 2010 · Most non-fast food joints which serve FFs also serve ORs. But there’s often a 20-50% upcharge and the quantity served is half or less. A large Russet and a softball-sized white or yellow onion both cost almost nothing.

Censorship in "Lady & The Tramp" - Straight Dope

How Do Cats Know They're Dirty? - Straight Dope
Oct 31, 2008 · I was just looking at a cat and he looked all spiffy. Anyway, he walks around, hops up and down off the furniture then he finds a nice place in the sun and starts to lick (clean) his paws and the rest of himself. How does a cat determain he’s dirty?

Do they still make (and sell) cap-guns? - Straight Dope
Mar 29, 2001 · I stuffed some cotton balls in a short length of plastic tubing, inserted one or two charges and another cotton ball. When I lit the cotton, the charges exploded and blew all the cotton out of the tubing. Boy, was I surprised. I remember the pistols (gold or metallic blue) that shot the little yellow pellets. What fun.
