Why is Chicken, Alaska named "Chicken"?
In the late 1800's, early miners traveled far in search of gold. Food was sometimes scarce, but a particular area near the South Fork of the 40-Mile River was abundant in Ptarmigan, now the state bird which bears a resemblance to a chicken. The miners kept themselves alive with the help of the Ptarmigan (if you consider being eaten as helping.)
In 1902, Chicken was to become incorporated, the second town in Alaska to do so. The name "Ptarmigan" was suggested. Many people liked the name, but felt the quotation marks were too presumptuous. The name was shortened to Ptarmigan.
The only problem was that nobody could agree on the correct spelling. They didn't want their town name to be the source of ridicule and laughter, so they decided on "Chicken."

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop?
Per a very wise owl, three.
Is time travel possible?
Yes, absolutely! Right now we know of approximately 8 billion people that are time traveling. Unfortunately, they only know how to travel forward in time, and only at the rate of one second per second.

Why didn't the hobbits just fly the eagles to Mordor?
This is a common question (frequently asked, you might say) that people use as a "gotcha" against the existence of Lord of the Rings. However, these people fail to consider the absolute domination Sauron's forces had over the vast majority of Middle Earth. His spies would've informed him of the incoming eagles if he were not distracted by the heir of Elendil marching towards his doorstep. Furthermore, these eagles were sentient beings, as susceptible to the corruption of the One Ring as all other sentient creatures. The ring would have corrupted them as it did to Boromir, Frodo, and countless others.
