Ask Erik: Episode Twenty-Seven

Here at Ask Erik, we've spent a lot of time reading books and comics, watching movies, and browsing through the Internet in the hopes of finding the answers to life's biggest mysteries. When Apple announces it has $140 billion stashed away, at what point does it stop being real money?  Is there a permanent divide between people from the opposite coasts?  If you ate a bunch of Japanese beetles, would you get hungry again in an hour?

Having instead amassed a vault of useless knowledge stored in his head, Erik instead tackles your questions and tries to find the answers you care about (or a reasonable facsimile).  Or, if you don't care, he'll at least try to make you laugh and forget you just wasted time you could spend doing anything else.
