Bring On The Questions

BringOn TheQuestions

How do you learn about the world? You ask questions. That's exactly what Foennix and Will (her dad) are doing here. They're going to ask some not so serious questions. Why do we say cats have nine lives? They will also ask some slightly more serious questions. How much does the earth weigh and how do we know? They're gonna Bring On The Questions and hopefully bring on some good answers too.
