Things I have attempted to look up recently, for fanfic reasons:

• what the hangy things that barristers wear are called (answer: "bands", usually, but also apparently "legal tabs")


• how someone might construct a letter bomb (few satisfactory answers found, although the easiest kind seem to be incendiary, using thermite)


• the Latin name, diet, and habitat of fishers


• the life of Archibald Lampman


• alternative explanations for Xavier's paralysis, besides that crazy-ass "alien dropped a stone block on him" comicverse reason


• the medical name for a lump in the throat (answer: globus hystericus)


• the context for a particular quote from Cyril of Jerusalem


• why Kai Winn and Kai Opaka wore different robes even though they held the same office (no answers found)

In short, Google is my boyfriend. Sometimes a weird, uncommunicative boyfriend.

That makes the most sense. (Of course, probably the real reason is just that the costumes people thought the yellow looked nicer or something.)
