    I have to give them credit, they actually consulted a real expert whilst they were drunk. Most people don’t, not even sober

      To be fair, “do hummingbirds have feet” seems eminently wikipediable. I’d like to think that if I ever felt the need to drunk-dial an expert, it’d be for something less trivial.

        But they don’t just want the answer, they want to share an experience with the people they’re with in a clever and fun way.

    When I was little, my mom dropped me and her friends kid off at a church for arts and crafts, I was 5. We we given toilet paper rolls, pipe cleaner, glue, and some other stuff to make butterflies. I studiously started making mine, I got the wings, the antenna and asked what I was supposed to use for the legs. A full grown ass women look me right in the eye and said “Butterflies don’t have legs”.

    I had seen butterflies land on flowers and latch on with legs, I was so confused how an adult wouldn’t know that.
