Q1 Whydo some public toilet seats have the front bit taken out (making them like aforked tongue)? A1 Miguel Former Fire fighter/EMT14h Those are old toilet seats. Just theynever wear out. Split seats were required in public restrooms for over 60 years as I recall, somestupid regulation decided they were “safer” than seats that were not split.Al Gore reviewed tons of federal regulations when he was VP, and that wasone stupid regulation that was eliminated as a result of the massive review.But you still occasionally see them, and heck some may still be for salesomewhere. I alwaysthought they were nasty, as in mens rooms guys would pee on the rim and no seatto protect you from that. Gross. Q2 Iseating too much fruit bad for one’s health?

Q9 Howmuch money would you need in the bank to feel comfortable to be able to takeretirement from work today? A9 Prasanna Bhalerao M. Sc. inElectronics & Physics, Fergusson College, PuneApr 30 Another loaded andopen ended question. Thereare far too many open parameters to come to a figure. It depends uponyour lifestyle, the place where you live, how much long you expect yourlifespan to be. Metro citiesand Tier 1 cities are expensive, Tier 2 and lower towns are less expensive.It also depends whether you are still paying off loans? Do you have dependentsto support financially? Do you have major expenses coming up? How healthy youare? And so on. Finally over and above there is inflation to consider. As I have said inso many answers, assuming that you have no loans to pay, you have your ownunencumbered home to live in, you live in a tier 1 City, you don't have anextravagant life style, there are no dependents, no major expenses coming up(like marriages of children, home repair, buying a new car), health is fine,have mediclaim insurance, etc., then you should be able to find comfort with ₹40,000~₹45,000 permonth. Assuming thisfigure today and assuming a constant inflation of 6%, you will require close to₹1 Cr for retirement (₹98 lakhs to be to a closer to the figure). This kitty will support thehusband and wife till the age of 85–86. But once again nowthat it doesn't support anything else, especially not expensive health relatedcomplications outside the insurance cover. Q10 Whydo ALL people have a smell to them?
