Episode Description

On this week’s best of Quirks & Quarks, we revisit our annual holiday listener question show, with fascinating queries like:

  • Why did a Canadian astronaut's eyesight change when she went to space? 
  • How is the dust inside our homes changing? 
  • Why do some professional athletes stick out their tongues when they play?
  • Why are most fruits round, but bananas and pineapple are not? 
  • What would have happened if the dino-killing asteroid never struck Earth?

We'll satisfy all these scientific curiosities and many more!
