Haven't you ever wondered ... about anything?

Hey, Houstonist readers — we wanted to take the chance to remind you why that Magic 8-Ball is sitting in our left column. It points you to an e-mail address for Ask Houstonist, one of the ways we try to share our incredibly vast pool of knowledge of really obscure things with you. Here's how it works:

• You think of something Houston-related (even loosely) that you've always wondered about.
• You e-mail your question to us at ask (at) houstonist (dot) com.
• We drink a few six-packs and make something up do an extraordinary amount of research and find the answer to your question, then post it so everyone can ask themselves, "Why didn't I wonder that?"

So come on, guys: Hit us with your best shot. We can't guarantee that we'll be able to find the answer to every question, but we'll do our best.
