Welcome back to Answer the Suze. This time, the Suze wasn't able to limit herself to just one question - no surprise there - so lets knock out some quick ones.
How is sherbet different from sorbet?
Actually, the Suze, there is no difference. Sorbet is just French for sherbet, and the words can be used interchangeably. However, instead of sorbet, I propose that we start calling it "freedom ice cream".
How did Magic Johnson get the AIDS?
There are 3 major ways to get AIDS (well, 4, if you think it can be transmitted through sweat and tears like Senator Dr. Bill Frist, R-Tennessee).
- Sharing needles with someone who has AIDS - Receiving a tainted blood transfusion (also known as the Ashe Method) - Sexual intercourse with an AIDS infected partner
Magic Johnson got it the last way, although its up to you whether or not you believe his story of a single extra-marital discretion with another woman. Sounds pretty unlikely. Pretty, pretty, pretty unlikely.
Why is it named the Tappan Zee Bridge? That's a stupid name.
Well, the Suze, I'm sorry to say, but that's because you are a racist. The name Tappan Zee is Dutch for, uh, Tappan Sea. The Tappans were a Native American sub-tribe of the Delaware/Lenni Lenape. At least they were, until they were wiped out, probably by other people who also thought they had a stupid name.
And for the record, its full name is the Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Bridge. You can certainly see why they named a huge bridge after him - he was a highly influential governor whose tenure spread from 1973 all the way to...1974. Huh.
