Dear Earl,Why is poop brown? Rachel,  Age 7
Dear Rachel, According to Your Gross Cool
Body, it's because of bile. This is a fluid
that's made by your liver and stored in your gall
bladder. These are all parts of your digestive
system. After you eat, the food travels down your
esophagus and into your stomach where acids mush
the food up. Then your small intestine starts to
suck all the nutrients out of the food. That's
when the bile comes in. It helps digest fatty
foods -- and at the same time, it gives the waste
parts of food a brownish, greenish color. This
unused waste passes through your large intestine
and colon into the rectum and out through the
anus when you go to the toilet. Pretty, huh?

Dear Earl,Why is October called October when it
is the tenth month and "oct" means eight? Kevin,
 Age 12 Dear Kevin, What an excellent question!
You're obviously a pretty smart bean, Kevin.
Fortunately, I found a site in our Roman Calendar
category called Ancient Sites that held the
answer. The original Roman calendar, on which we
base our modern calendar, had only ten months. It
was arranged according to the agricultural cycle
the year began during the spring harvest in
March, and ended during the autumn planting in
December. January and February were simply left
out, because there was no field work done then.
So October was the original eighth month! You'll
also find Roman numeral names hidden in
September, November, and December. Can you figure
out what they are?
