From who made the first roller coaster to why baby kangaroos are called Joeys, we answer
several of your most burning questions about life.
- I'm Danger Dolan and I'll be reading out the questions and answers.
- * - And I am Nixxiom, bask in my greatness for
I am here to lead you from ignorance into the light of truth.
- * - You stole my job, you bloody… dead person.
- You already have a job.
You're going to fix my wagon.
Here's a coin for your troubles.
Get to it.
- I'm gonna go ahead and not do that.
Just a heads up.
Coldkids04 Gaming - What's the difference between a wolf and coyote?
- A wolf is a proud, strong and ferocious creature.
Only the greatest of warriors can ride into battle on the back of great wolf.
I know I have.
- What about Coyotes?
- Ha!
Now I've never heard of a warrior riding a coyote.
They're far too small.
But maybe…
Maybe they could pull my chariot!
- Yeah that's great.
But here's a thought.
Why not get a car?
You know - a horseless carriage.
- Never!
There's no adventure in being ferried around on a haunted carriage by a spectre.
- * It's a CAR, dingus!
You don't know anything…
Typically, Coyotes are smaller than wolves and tend to have bushier tails but they also
behave differently.
Wolves are pack hunters and prey on sheep, goats and deer.
Whereas Coyotes often hunt in pairs and prey on smaller animals like rabbits and mice.
Coyotes also tend to be more shy around humans and are far less likely to attack than wolves
are.
RayquazaGrajales - Who made the first roller coaster?
- A coaster!?
That rolls!?
What kind of useless invention is that?
When I put my flagon down I don't want the coaster to be doing any rolling!
It will spill my mead.
- A roller coaster is something you ride on, for fun.
- * - This world is truly strange.
Call me old fashioned but I'll stick with a horse.
The origins of Roller Coasters can be found as far back as 17th century Russia, where
great ice slides were enjoyed by thrill seeking aristocrats.
Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, would later commission a slide with wheeled carts
for her residence.
After much time and evolution the first commercially successful roller coaster would open in 1884
at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York.
It was built and patented by LaMarcus Adna Thompson, who is now considered the father
of the roller coaster.
- * - I have to say Dolan, you were right about
these rolling coasters.
They are fun! - *
xUnkownPredz - What is the strongest animal and what is the weakest?
- Well now as you all know there's no being stronger than I, and I have been called an
animal on a number of occasions - heh heh.
- * - But the weakest animal has to be the Jellyfish.
I've never seen them lift a thing!
- They don't have bones, buddy.
- No excuse.
- * - LAZY!
If we are talking about proportional strength, then the world's strongest animal is the
Dung Beetle, being able to pull roughly 1,141 times their own body weight.
The weakest is a little harder to identify.
Humans, in proportion to their size, are considered one of the weakest.
The average untrained man will struggle to lift even his own body weight.
MCPEgamerRedstone - Where do car names come from?
- Names have power and so when it comes to naming your horseless carriage you must think
carefully.
That's why I named my chariot: The Bringer of Destruction.
- * - You're not meant to bring destruction
to yourself, you stupid cart!
The way in which cars are named will vary between companies.
Take Toyota for example, their vehicle names will often be a reference to crowns, royalty,
mythology and architecture.
Marketing and design teams work to produce a pool of potential names and eventually isolate
the ideal one.
On the other hand, companies like BMW tend to name their vehicles by series number.
ShimasBiggestFan - Why does sugar make you jumpy?
- * - Sugar comes from lightning slugs, their
slime being electrified.
Once it's refined, you get sugar crystals, but if you can't wait for that you can just
help yourself to a nice helping of slug slime.
Care to try some, Dolan?
- * - Nah, I think I'll pass.
Watching my weight and all that…
- Understandable, you are looking doughy.
- * - Mmmmm!
- *
While eating large amounts of sugar does have negative health effects, studies have found
that it does not cause hyperactivity.
Being shaky after consuming sugar could be a symptom of hypoglycemia.
The body will release additional adrenaline into the bloodstream to protect against hypoglycemia
which can cause shakiness and increase anxiety.
Kiki Fox - How did humans learn to write and speak?
- It was my people, the elves, that first taught humans how to write and speak.
It wasn't long after the humans MASSACRED my people and DESECRATED the ancient culture
we had worked so hard to build.
- What?
Why would they do that?
- Because we made the dire mistake of teaching them about being offended by things.
They didn't like that we taught them about how to be offended, so they got offended and
attacked.
Unfortunately I wasn't there to stop them.
So nowadays, if I offend anyone, I just kill them.
- You kill them?
- I kill them :)
Huh.
The exact origins of human language are still in debate but evidence suggests that thanks
to the shape of our mouth, tongue and throat humans were able to develop a more advanced
way of communicating with each other compared to other hominids.
Written language later began as a way to record events using images, eventually becoming symbols
that represented the sound of speech.
Why do eyes twitch crazily?
- That means an ENEMY is nearby.
Watch your back.
All it takes is a moment's hesitation and *stabbing noise* you're DEAD, Dolan.
- I don't wanna be dead.
- Suck it up!
You had plenty of time to react.
Ugh.
Would you just fall over and die, already?
- Oh, bugger off.
Eyes twitching generally mean you're stressed or tired.
Phones, tablets and computer screens can also trigger it.
Your eye muscles are spasming because of strain, so stop looking at screen, stop drinking coffee
and get some sleep.
Just get off the internet for five minutes.
You'll be fine.
jacob richardson - Can you teach a blind person colors?
- When one sense diminishes, the others increase!
With enough practice you'll be able to smell speech and hear time.
- What?!
- Allow me to demonstrate.
- * - The time is... 2:15!
- * - Oh wow.
How did you know?
- Told you, it just takes patience to learn.
- Very impressive.
If a person has been blind since birth, it will not be possible for them to perceive
colours.
You could however, teach them to associate the name of each colour with certain stimuli,
such as red and orange for heat or warmth.
The name could also be associated with an emotional state, blue being calming for example.
Melody Sky - What would happen if every animal on the planet was a herbivore?
- Now I know what you're thinking.
"Oh Nixxiom's an elf, he doesn't eat meat".
That is a lie spread by goblins!
We elves care for our forests so much that we only eat meat.
It would be better if the entire cosmos were carnivores.
That way, no harm would come to any plants or our trees, our beautiful - beautiful trees.
- * - *
- I told ya them Elves were weird.
- *
With no predators the herbivore population would boom, this could be a problem when it
comes to food sources and without predators to devour other animals, wildlife would have
to decay naturally after dying.
After enough time has passed, it's possible that the remaining creatures may have adapted
to this new vegetarian world.
- * - Oh hey, apples.
That's free lunch.
- * - Keep your hands to yourself, apple snatcher.

Devin bostick cunningham - Why is a baby kangaroo called a joey?
Funnily enough, it's not just baby Kangas.
We call baby koalas, possums, dingoes & snakes joeys in Straya.
Hell, pretty much every marsupial is a joey.
Even baby humans, they're all joeys until they're about, like, 7?
Then we give them a real name.
- Ha-ha!
That's a good one, Dolan.
- What do you mean?
- Come on, what's the real answer?
You surely can't call them all Joey.
That's ridiculous.
- It's the truth.
- … This…
Land of Austin-aralsia sounds like a bizarre place.
- You'd like it, plenty of dangerous beasties for you to fight.
Big ol' spiders too.
- You don't say?
- * - Make haste my tiny friends!
Glory awaits us, in the mystical land of...
Australia.
Heeyah!
- * - Someone should probably tell him that Australia
isn't on Planet Dolan.
Eh - whatever he'll figure it out.
