2. It's a thing they used to use to spin thread out of bits of sheep. No, I don't know why there's a pointy bit on it either.
3. She wasn't
4. See also Silverman's essay on nettles and restlessness

6. No, they just worked there, they didn't own it.
7. She made sure to stretch first.
8. Because Granny was kind of a bitch, that's why.
9. Earlier versions used alum, but left you with itchy loins afterwards.
10. May 14th
11. No, she probably didn't realize they were all gay.
12. Well, a partial truth, anyway

17. Those stains never came out
18. CRACKERJACK!
19. It was really only the fascia that was edible
20. Old-timey underpants.
Thank you. I hope those cleared things up
