Hey, I have some more ideas about finding a dog! Maybe "How Do I Pick the Right Breed for Me?" might help you. Good luck!

Thanks, but who are you? Why are you hounding me?

Why is the sky blue?

Wow! It's been an entire week since we've gotten this question! But this time we thought we'd celebrate, by presenting a new feature: Punchy Advice's tribute to Folk Rhetorical Questions (FRQs).

There really aren't that many FRQ's, and we're pretty sure that just about every one has been asked by clever readers out there.

Here's our list, and the answers we've given:

Punchy Advice's Little List of Often-Asked Folk Rhetorical Questions

• Why is there air?
• What is the meaning of life? and again
• What is the nature of existence?
• If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it make a sound?
• Why is the sky blue?

We also had this question, but fortunately I wasn't around to answer it:

• Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
