[Werewords] Is cookie dough poisonous? Or edible?

Male mayor here (Villager, I swear.) And everyone's asking questions about the secret code word that I made up. The other villagers are a lyncherous mob, and they're starting to get suspicious of me, so I need the answer in the next 3 minutes or my goose is cooked. Is cookie dough poisonous or not?

Problem is, as a man I never go near the stuff, since cooking is for girls.

[Tintin] Why is Thompson, with a P (as in "Philedelphia") always so imprecise in the way he speaks?

To be precise, he always ends up being corrected by his fellow police companion, Thomson (without a P).

While Superman is weakened by kryptonite, Can you cut off his head or do some other permanent damage?

When Superman is on kryptonite, bad guys seem to just sort of beat him up and thrash him around. Wouldn't it make more sense to chop him into little pieces or decapitate him?

Are the Numberblocks a hive mind?

Seeing as they unite and divide, absorbing and creating personalities at will, I wondered what happened in the mind when two combine. Is the mind of the smaller block still in there, or are they all part of a singular hive?

My wife doesnโ€™t believe in double blind testing.

I want to find out if I can tell the difference in taste between these two brands of milk. I cannot convince my wife to help setup a double blind testing scheme. How can I convince her that it is the golden standard of scientific studies?

[Super Mario World] Is Yoshi an egg-shitter, or do they just have a high metabolism?

Yoshi is often called a male, but lays eggs so might be female, idk. I don't know how they identify, either. But I'm interested in something.

When I hit a block that contains a Yoshi egg, Yoshi pops out. Then when I'm riding Yoshi and bring out another egg, the egg doesn't want to make a new Yoshi so I just get a one-up. But then when Yoshi eats enough food, they turn the food into eggs and then these eggs give me a one-up also. I also know (because I rode Yoshis when I was younger, and battled Baby Bowser) that in some circumstances Yoshi can create eggs for the purposes of shooting things with them, but only after eating something.

I'm just a simple plumber from New York City who accidentally fell into a magical pipe with my brother. So we don't a-know what's a-going on. But chickens in that world regularly lay eggs even if they're not fertilized; it's just an unfertilized egg doesn't turn into a chicken. So is Yoshi a female organism that's laying eggs at a high rate due to a higher metabolism? They do seem to be very muscular and fit - and what's more, they appear to be some form of lizard, making them clearly identifiable with these chicken-like habits.

Or is Yoshi just eating and pooping out, and new Yoshis just arrive from the others' poop?

I'm a-interested in a-putting together a morphologically sound biological diagram of Yoshi's egg-laying properties. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyway, thanks so much! It's been a-me, a-Mario!

Is the new Little Mermaid set in the distant future?

I read a critique of the film that it depicted racial harmony, when in fact, quite the opposite was true at that time in history. So i started thinking, maybe the film takes place after several nuclear wars have set humans back technologically to the 18th century, and the radiation created a diverse subspecies of Mer-people.
