Is bronchitis contagious? Is black a color?

To summarize: Is Benjamin Franklin a President? No. Was Benjamin Franklin a President? Still no. Is beyonce pregnant? No. Is beezid a scam? Not technically, but it's definitely a huge rip-off. Is Brett Favre married? Yes. Is Bam Margera married? Yes, technically. Is bleach over? NEVER! Is bronchitis contagious? Oh my, yes. Is black a color? That turns out to be a really interesting question that depends on your definition of "black" and your definition of "color." Is Benjamin Button real? *headdesk* Is Justin Bieber bi or female or a German basketball or 51 years old or headed to North Korea or the proprietor of a free web site? No.

In which John asks google questions beginning, "Is b....?"

Is Lady Gaga a Man?

In which Hank delves into the psyche of his world using the tool of Google Auto-Complete. I ran into a LOT of amazing auto-completes while I was doing this, so I might do it again, or John might. It's pretty hilarious stuff.

Let me answer some questions for you here:
Is Lady Gaga a man: No
Is John Green Dead: No
Is it Down: Huh?
Is Justin Bieber Gay: No
Is Nate Berkus gay: Who?
Is bronchitis contagious: YES! WTF?
Is Gonorrhea Curable: Yes...but it's also avoidable...which is probably what you want to start out with
Is Brett Favre Married: Yes...though maybe not for long
Is Tina Marie Dead: Yes
Is my house haunted: No
Is My Life is Liz Real: No...no...obviously not...at all. Though it's hard to say that just because it's "dramatized" it isn't real. I mean...high school is about as "dramatized" as you can get.
