Q: Do bears poop in the woods?
A: Actually no. It
is rumored that they used to, and perhaps the occasional wayward baby bear
still does; but modern bears use
chemical port-a-potties, like everyone else.
Q: Is the Pope Catholic?
A: Actually not.
It is a central tenet of Catholicism that, in matters of faith and
dogma, Catholics must acknowledge themselves subordinate to the Pope; and the Pope can hardly be subordinate
to himself: that would be a
logical contradiction.
Never thought of that, did
you? So, while His Holiness no
doubt cherishes fond memories of having once been Catholic, and retains
friendly feelings towards the faith even still, he is not himself --strictly
speaking -- actually Catholic.
Q: Why is the sky blue?
A: It isn’t. It’s
black -- go out any night and see for yourself.
As for the blueish glow that some
people fancy they see at other times (except when cloudcover removes the
illusion), that is simply a side-effect of light-pollution.
