I think I'm going to pass on that one.

And I have one here from some guy who is wondering, for God knows what reason, how many latex gloves are used in the United States every day.

This does not exactly stir my soul, but I did find something that said we use 10 billion pairs of those gloves a year. I don't know if that is true, and the more that I think about it, the more I think I don't really care.

Here's one from somebody who wants to know how many children were born in Arizona on Feb. 14, 1912, the day we gained statehood.

Any of the rest of you wondering about that lately?

How about this one:

Did people have ringing in the ears before there were radio waves?

First of all, there have always been radio waves.

Secondly, radio waves don't cause that ringing noise in your ears, which is officially known as tinnitus.

Different things can cause this. I think the most common cause is prolonged exposure to loud noises that damage the inner ear. Specifically, loud noise can mess up the tiny little hairs in there that send electrical signals to the brain, which translates the signals into sounds. A blow to the head can do the same thing. So can an ear infection.

There are lots of other things that can cause tinnitus. Sometimes, it's just part of normal age-related hearing loss. Excess buildup of earwax can do the job.

Prolonged use of aspirin and some antibiotics is a suspected cause. High blood pressure, too much caffeine or alcohol and some foods, including chocolate, can cause your ears to buzz.

You know that jaw problem some people get from tension or grinding their teeth? A lot of those people have tinnitus, but researchers aren't quite sure why.

With all those potential causes, it's not surprising tinnitus is fairly common. It usually goes away after a while, but if it's really bothering you, I guess you'd better go see your doctor.
