On the show last week, you asked what famous LA resident was suggested by the phrase: Facial crease caused by frowning, perhaps. I think Groucho Marx fits better than Shirley Temple (Surly dimple).

The difference between a bruise and a contusion is that a contusion is a medical term; a bruise is a lay term. A contusion is a blow to the soft tissues and may result in an echymosis (the medical term for a bruise) which is blood under the skin resulting from breakage of blood vessels. There may or may not be breakage of the skin on either of these. I believe you might have had the definition of an abrasion that you were reading on the show; I’m not sure.

Who says snipes don’t exist? They are an Eastern marsh and shorebird, as people who live along the Eastern shore could tell you. We sent the tenderfoot out in search of a bird that would never be found in the forest, not a mythical one. Snipes, perhaps another species, is also found in Great Britain, where scouting began, so it may have its origin over there.
NOTE: We received hundreds of letters on this- to our great surprise since Richard features himself quite the closet ornithologist. He did misspeak, but then again, this is a guy who was sent looking for a few feet of shore line, a left-handed Monkey Wrench, a sky hook and a smoke bender. Our thanks to James Hay of Santee, CA for those memories- and to all the others who wrote.
