Question #13:
Why do small birds chase big ones? I don't mean in a protective way either, like bluejays fiercely defending their young. Earlier I watched as a couple of small, nondescript black birds were flying around behind a hawk that was circling and meandering around up in the air. I find this kind of bizarre.

Precipitation Pondering
Question #6:
How do they know what percent chance of rain we'll have? Those darn meteorologists...
I realize they have equipment that gives them some kind of readings, but do the machines give some kind of raincloud output guesswork meters? Or is it the meteorologist coming up with the percentage based on knowledge and experience?

Soapy Supper
Question #3:
If I buy a bar of soap, and it claims to be made with all-natural ingredients like oatmeal, raw honey, and wheatgerm oil, why would it still taste like soap?
Yes, I licked soap. What?
Biggs & Featherbelle, 'Health Conscious Body Care,' Granola Bar Handmade Soap. Ingredients: Distilled Water, Saponified Oils (Coconut, Palm, Soybean, Sunflower, & Wheatgerm), Raw Honey, Oatmeal, Vitamin E & Essential Oil Blend (Nutmeg & Tangerine). It's a wonderfully-smelling cleansing bar that happens to taste like salty soap. Admittedly though, it wasn't a "full" lick; I sort of chickened out after a second thought.
