How did Bill Parcells get the nickname "The Big Tuna"?
Parcells earned the nickname "The Big Tuna" when he responded to a bogus statement from a player with the incredulous "Who do you think I am? Charlie the Tuna?" The "Big" portion should be self-explanatory.

Why does rubber bounce?

Do crawfish typically live out of water? I found one wandering around my garage and I am over 100 yards from the nearest stream.

Answer to:
My nephew has a couple of ringworms on his face. What natural remedies are there to clear them up without severe irritation? He's almost 3 years old.
Ring Worm is a form of fungus, not an actual worm, Tea tree oil is very effective against all forms of fungus. Apply a few drops to the whole ring area and cover with a gauze pad and tape. Do this twice a day, you should see great results in about a week. However if there is no affect or the ring continues to spread you really should see a doctor.
