why do pirates love parrots?

i bought this book as a birthday gift for suamigila. last weekend, i read this book and i must say, i love it.

this book is trying to answer little misteries of everyday life. for example:

why are salmon pink?
why does iced tea get cloudy?
what does the ‘D’ in D-Day stand for?
why is the moon sometimes visible during the day?
why are most phychics women?

and i’m curious…
why do women open their mouth when applying mascara? ;-)
