Ask Me Anything, Just Make Sure It Ain't Stupid

Hey Mung! What do you make of this whole Jeremy Lin stuff?
Carla D., Des Moines, IA

Mung: Carla, that boy can play! I wouldn't exactly say when he's runnin' the show it's a "Chinese Fire Drill" because that would be politically incorrect, but he's got those Knicks playin' ball like they haven't been in Lord knows how many years! 'Looks like he knows when to drive and when to back off and find the open man. And he can shoot too! But I'll tell ya what, the Miami Heat made Lin look silly. I just hope he don't let it bother him too much. I just hope he and Melo can find peace and harmony.

Hi Mung, I'm studying for my physics exam and I'm having trouble with Einstein's theory of relativity. Can you sum it up?
Dave W., Chicago, IL

Mung: Sure thing Dave. Simple. General relativity is a theory of gravitation. The development of general relativity began with the equivalence principle under which the states of accelerated motion and being at rest in a gravitational field are physically identical.
Whoo-wee!!! My head is hurtin' somethin' fierce. I best be laying down a bit. Chow y'all!

Ask Me Anything, As Long As It Ain't Stupid

Hi Mung,
What did you think about the Super Bowl?
Chuck and Cindy C., Atlanta, GA

Mung:
Glad you asked C & C - I was planning on having just a few of the boys over to watch the game - just got a new 32" HDTV the Sunday prior, but Layla, my second ex decided to bring over three of her girlfriends from her place of business. And they didn't come alone! With them came a helpin' of food including plenty of stuff that was brown and hot. Well needless to say I ate a bunch of it and sure 'nuff came the final four minutes and I can't get off the throne!  So I had to have them blast the volume to the max while I sat there cursin' every minute of it! Didn't matter to me who won, but it was good seeing Eli get himself a second ring. Had to watch the celebration highlights on the 11:00 o'clock news with Earl Peters. Next year I'm lockin' the door and it'll be just me and 'ol Jack.
