Well this isn't very timely. But still, another bit of inquisitive Friday fun! Although there are 8549027869056725 sites out there that ask and answer the same thing -- i.e., the shower scene in Psycho -- a (sort of) friend writes to SFist asking: What do you think is the scariest scene in movie history? Eh, why not? East: the scene in Cinderella where her stepsisters tear apart her pink gown right before the ball.......

After a recent discussion about sex with those in the coveted 18-to-25-year-old age bracket, a friend then asked SFist: How old to you have to be to be a cougar? Huh. Honestly, we didn't have a clue. Do you? We'd love to hear what age one has to hit in order to be considered cougar-worthy. Specifically, we want to hear what age all of you male readers consider cougar time, and at what age......

Remember, if you ask it, our readers can answer it. Why, even these guys are getting in on the quizzical fun, too! (Be sure to ask Eve how to fit your logo inside the ball; she created it. We're all thumbs when it comes to graphics.) But we received this urgent question from someone about a park we've neither seen nor frolicked in. Maybe you have an answer regarding this mystifying Scott and Waller......

Folks -- we want to encourage you to keep the questions coming. The best ones for us to answer are those with specific details. If questions don't hav enough detail, we are forced to simply snark (see question #1); if they are too open-ended, you'll see us blather on and on and on and on (see question #2)....

We try our best here at SFist Answers, but we have two very real limitations: 1) If y'all don't ask us questions, we have nothing to answer; similarly, the more questions we get, the more we're able to cherry-pick the interesting ones. (That's our not-so-subtle appeal for some emails to sfistanswers@sbcglobal.net). 2) Some questions are pretty complicated and have some variable factors--it's often impossible to lead you to the end of the journey in......

A reader of SFist Answers writes in anonymously: This year, I'm celebrating my last under-21 New Years Eve. What fun things can the local twenty year old chick do to bring in the new year with her friends? In response to the obvious answer, sadly none of us have fake ids, so that's out the window. Have fun answering that one, cause it's a doozie. Well, anonymous reader, would it help if we told......

How were we feeling last week? Festive! We hit the Film Arts and CineKink Film Festivals, with mixed results. Ironic! Some of our more tongue in cheek posts garnered such dead serious comments we wondered if we were being punked, or if this was just evidence of new readers familiarizing themselves with SFist. We'll choose to believe the latter. Aristocratic! His name is Prince, but is he funky? Ask Frank Chu (or SFist Answers,......
