You’re hungry. You have a frying pan. You have pants. So what’s the question?

How do you fry your pants so you can eat them?

Ingredients

• 1 pair of pants
• 10 cups vegetable oil
• Flour for dusting
• 3 cups milk
• 5 tablespoons vinegar
• 2 Tablespoon oil
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Chill or freeze pants for several hours or overnight.
2. Heat 10 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees.
3. Mix together milk, vinegar and oil.
4. In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt.
5. Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth. Refrigerate while oil heats.
6. Dust pants with flour and dip into the batter. Rotate pants until batter covers them.
7. Place carefully in hot oil. The Pants will float, so hold them under with a utensil to ensure even browning. They should turn golden in 3 to 4 minutes. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, you might be able to fry only one pair at a time, two at the most.
8. Remove pants to paper towel and let drain. Allow Pants to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 1 pair. Serves 6.

Today, on this partly sunny WikiAnswers Wednesday, we spotlight a wonderful fellow who plays a more important role in project management than he does in grammar:

What is the difference between a colin and a semi colin?

In case you can’t make out the text:

Colin (Answers.com project manager) is an awesome and amazing guy!
Semi is the prefix for half, so a semi Colin would mean you only have half of Colin, and that’s pretty sad.
A whole Colin is always preferable over a semi Colin.

Keep doing your thing, whole Colin!

Oh, and by the way: What is the difference between a colon and a semi colon?

Oh, turkey - a glorious word.

Sometimes you’re a country, others – a bird.

A short story as well. Two cities to like.

A Native American…  and a bowling strike.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Keep in mind where to go if you need a video on how to roast a turkey, historical trivia to share at your dinner table, or if you want the final answer as to why eating turkey makes you sleepy.

It’s an age-old question. Seriously, this question has been around for as long as the subjects themselves.

Who is more powerful – ninjas or pirates?

Now, wait a second, you think you know the answer. You’re probably even pretty sure of yourself. But hold on. There are some very compelling arguments for both sides in the WikiAnswer.

I will say this – no matter which is the more powerful, they would each be even more powerful in large groups of their own. Which is why you might want to consider this:

That’s all I’m saying.

Oh, and today is the last day to apply for a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to the Answers Summit. Better move fast, ninja. Or pirate.

Admittedly, I don’t watch Gossip Girl, but just as admittedly, I do enjoy the occasional celebrity gossip. One place I go to check out the latest is the Celebrities Q&A category of WikiAnswers.

But in case you’re not just interested in hearing the gossip – but, gasp, speaking it – today’s Video Answer, submitted by Pbramwell and yrotmaharg, will help you out:

How do you gossip?

Congrats to Sandface, who submitted quite a few Video Answers for the WikiAnswers Video Answer contest back in September – she won an Honorable Mention for this one:

What size are runt shorkies?

This video taught me a lot since before I saw it, I honestly didn’t know what a shorky was. But as we say here at Answers headquarters: Now I know.
