Ask Yasi #4: Multiple Oh.

Ok so Bobby is all over me like virginity on the Hypebeast forums to post more often, so here is a lollapalooza of recent unanswered Ask Yasi questions. There was a time I dreamt of writing the next great American novel but here we are, Saturday afternoon and I am writing this. Kill me.

Straun Scherrer asks “why don’t penguin’s feet freeze? x”

Basically, penguins (like almost every other animal on the earth) have adapted to their surroundings through this little known process I like to call evolution. Their body temperature thus remains at a toasty 104 degrees at all times. However, the feet are a whole different story. Since they can’t be covered with feathers or blubber, penguins’ feet stay warm in two ways. One, the enguin’s body controls the flow of blood to the feet by varying the diameter of the blood vessels depending on the weather. When it’s cold, less flow, when it’s warm, more flow. (Humans do this too). But the real heroes for our tuxedoed friend are their concurrent heat exchangers at the tops of their legs. For you laypeople, what happens is the arteries that supply warm blood to the feet break up into many small vessels, as do the veins, bringing cold blood back from the feet. Since the capillary beds are really really close to eachother, they modulate the temperature of the blood. And that is why penguins’ feet do not freeze. Next.

Greg Edgell asks “don’t know what the questions are supposed to be, so i figured i’d ask the first one that came to mind. how are you so pretty?”

Stem cell smoothies.

Walter A. Franco asks, “Been with a latina, love the snow and definitely love me some sushi and chinese, oh and filipino is delicious. But haven’t had me some genuine chocolate, namsayin?!?! How do i get some.”

No.

Yungharrison asks “Why is there pic with you and the bird from the hills up on the blog?”

Because after Audrina got fired from Epic Records or whatever other fake job she has on the Hills, she is hired as the new store manager for the Hundreds. LC falls for Sal Barbier so they all go to the Dime for drinks except for Lo because she is ugly. Then Justin Bobby comes in and fixes his hair in the mirror for about two hours, makes her cry, then splits a roast beef sandwich with Ben while Switch takes some pictures and someone does a kickflip onto Spencer’s head. Watch for it next season.

And last but miserably not least, Rich Yee! asks, “Why do people in the Los Angeles area avoid using the word ‘hella’ but embrace the word ‘hyphy’ ? I’m from the Bay and umm I love LA but I don’t say “let me get a ‘gang-a’ hotsauce for my burrito.
I am concerned.”

I have no idea what you are talking about or even what language you are speaking but I do know two things:

1. Your concern might be better focused on the upcoming presidential election, the war in Iraq, or the troubling dissolution of Britney Spears.
2. Burritos are good.
