How normal is it for planets to be tilted on their axes?
Q. The earth experiences seasons because it is tilted on its axis; how normal is this as far as other planets are concerned? Is it normal for planets to be a little cockeyed or does that distinction make the earth a "lefty" in astronomy?

A. Mars has seasons too, actually it has slightly more tilt than we do. Venus is not only extremely tilted but also spinning backwards however the atmosphere is so screwed up that the seasons aren't noticeable. Mercury is the least tilted of all the rocky planets. The early solar system was a violent and random place. For example Venus probably acquired it's tilt and backspin the same way a struck cue ball might in pool; something else seems to have hit it. The Earth was also struck at an angle by something with a bit of heft to it, which gouged out a lot of the crust and that plus bits of whatever hit us became the moon. Some planets are just inexplicably odd. Uranus is tilted sideways and no one is really sure why. Earth is a left-handed… [cont.]

Is it normal for a feather pillow to smell when it is first purchased?
Q. I just purchased two Serta pillows and they are part down and part goose feathers. They smell and I was about to take them back but then wondered if it is normal for them to smell. They are so comfortable but I can't stand the smell.

A. Yes, that's the only kind of pillows I will use. They do smell, they will eventually stop smelling or you can put them outside in the sun to air out, that's what I did...=)
