Monday, February 28

How many tornadoes were there in Kansas last year?

Sunday, February 27

I was in Kansas City a week or so ago and ate at Planet Sub, which my friend told me was the same as the Yello Subs here in Lawrence. Why do they have different names if they are the same restaurant?

Saturday, February 26

The Kansas University men's basketball team has lost three games in a row for the first time in 11 years. When was the last time they lost four in a row?

Friday, February 25

Can a police officer or authority stop and give you a ticket or stop you at all for talking on a cell phone when you are driving?

Wednesday, February 23

I have a braid I would like to donate to Locks of Love. How would I get in touch with them? Do you have an address?

Tuesday, February 22

What are the number of deaths of British and other coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Monday, February 21

When is the Jayhawks' final home basketball game of the season?

Sunday, February 20

I was wondering why the Baldwin Police Department responds to domestic disturbance calls but they are not allowed to go into the building until the Douglas County Sheriff's deputies arrive and go into the building. I had heard that the chief of police had told them that they were not allowed to go into the residence or into the building until after the deputy sheriffs go in.

Saturday, February 19

I just saw several large flocks of geese flying south. Isn't it rather late in the winter for them to be headed south?

Friday, February 18

The paper said that Scott Bakula was a KU alum. I was just wondering when he attended the university and what his degree was and did he graduate and when?

Thursday, February 17

I was wondering if the public is allowed to walk for exercise inside the large buildings at Kansas University -- either Allen Fieldhouse or one of those other athletic buildings next to it and if so, what hours?

Wednesday, February 16

What is the proper way to dispose of AA and C-type batteries? I'm talking about the kind we use at home in all the kids' toys. It says on the label to dispose of them properly, but I'm not sure what that means.

Tuesday, February 15

Is there any way the Douglas County Courthouse clock can show the correct time? It is always a few minutes slow.

Monday, February 14

Is the teacher who was president of the Lawrence Education Assn. when the $97,000 turned up missing still teaching, or has he been suspended? If he's suspended, is the school district paying him?

Sunday, February 13

I was wondering what was going on with this over-taxation of cars? Was the state supposed to repeal that law in January?

Saturday, February 12

Does Kansas University men's basketball player Christian Moody receive an athletic scholarship, or is he still a walk-on?

Friday, February 11

I have a few baseball questions. Where do the Royals train, and when is their first spring training game? Also, when is the first game of the season at Kauffman Stadium?

Thursday, February 10

How did the KU Medical Center get Tom Skerritt, the actor, to make a commercial for the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City? Is he a Missouri or Kansas resident?

Wednesday, February 9

Has a memorial fund been set up for Andrew Keenan, the KU law student who died recently?

Tuesday, February 8

I listen to the Kansas University men's basketball games on KLZR, 105.9 FM. I've noticed that once or twice a game there's a loud squelching noise that lasts one or two seconds. What causes that?

Monday, February 7

How many Iraqis have been killed since the war begin in March 2003?

Sunday, February 6

How many tickets are visiting teams allowed to purchase for the KU home basketball games? And what happens to the tickets they are allotted if they don't take them all? Whom might those go to?

Saturday, February 5

The Douglas County Courthouse had the finials removed some time ago because of their deteriorating condition and I understand a stone mason was engaged to carve new ones. I'm curious about the progress on getting the new finials carved and when they might be installed.

Friday, February 4

Can you tell us what the airlines do with all of the confiscated items they take off individuals at security checkpoints?

Thursday, February 3

I see that Kennedy School has a new principal from Kansas City, Mo. I wonder if there were internal candidates and how often the school district hires from within for administrative positions.

Wednesday, February 2

I noticed that former University of Missouri guard Jon Sundvold is no longer an analyst on Big 12 Conference men's basketball telecasts. What's he doing now?

Tuesday, February 1

I've noticed a few foxes in town. Do foxes kill cats?
