Pedro's E-bag

    • A book never written: “American Victories” by Norman D. Beech.



    • Dwight: Where is the only place Friday comes before Thursday?

      Michael: Where?

      Dwight: The dictionary!



      • Feb. 9, 1935 — President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the Boy Scouts of America 25th Anniversary by radio.

    • Dear Awesome, Alfalfa-Loving Mailburro, Do you think girls can enjoy Boys' Life? I like to read the wacky comics, and the tips the magazine gives me about making igloos and stuff are cool. I hope The Boss doesn't get mad because a girl is reading.

      --Alisa W., Long Island, N.Y.

      The Boss gets mad about a lot of things, Alisa, but not about anyone reading the magazine. You're a girl and you enjoy it, so I guess that's enough said.

    • I'm stuck at the part where you fight Starscream. I can get the Allspark but don't know what to do next. All the map says is to get the Allspark, but I already have it.

      Games Guru: Congrats on getting as far as you have. You need to do something with the AllSpark once you have it.

      When Starscream gets near the AllSpark, pick it up and start a melee using AllSpark. Bam! Starscream takes to the air, and your final battle begins. It’s tough, so you may be writing me again for a tip! Just remember to always keep Starscream in your sight or you’ll lose the battle.

    • I saw my friend has this Golden Egg called "Angry Radio." How do you get it? Thanks!

      Games Guru: The golden eggs are on the Golden Egg page. This particular egg is on the bottom row, second from the right. Click it. Once you see the radio, click the two keys in the middle of the radio. Voila. You have your golden egg for the Angry Radio puzzle.

      I don't know how to beat these levels: Level 12 on Danger Above (not the first one, the one at night); The Big Setup, I can't beat level 5 on the second page; Mighty Hoax, I can't beat level 12. If you can please help me, please do.

      Games Guru: It's hard to explain this in a few words. Pictures work better.

      Here's one site that helps for Danger Above:

      • Feb. 8, 1910 — Boy Scouts of America is founded in Washington D.C., by William Boyce.
      • Feb. 8, 1986 — NBA guard Spud Webb becomes the shortest Slam Dunk champ in NBA history. (5' 7")

    • Dear Pedro, The "Trail Tips" in December suggests that when melting snow to make water you should add water to the pot so the snow does not get scorched and end up tasting funky. I cannot believe you could make such a ridiculous statement. Please explain to me how snow can be scorched.

      -- Rond H., San Pedro, Calif.

      Snow is a solid, Rond, and it can scorch if the pot is hot enough. It not only tastes funky, it smells funky, too.
