Walkin'Backwards (Not A Country Tune)
Wink: Sea captains don't like crew cuts.
I read this one in the newsgroups. For those of us that must wear glasses, one of the most irritating every day experiences this time of year is when you are outside in the cold and come back inside, your glasses fog up, making you look like Bubbles of Trailer Park fame.
This person wrote that if you walk in backwards your glasses will not fog up. Several others verified this was true, although no one had an explanation why.
Over the past few days I have been in and out on various occasions, and often the glasses fogged up enough that I couldn't see anything. Taking them off is not an option because I see even less through the blur.
Finally today, since I am known for doing weird things anyway at times, I decided to try this out. I came in forward as I usually do, and my glasses began to fog up. I immediately went back outside until they cleared, and came back in - "backwards"! After trying it a couple times I am convinced, walk into the house backwards, and your glasses don't fog up.
It works, and I don't have the answer either, unless it has something to do with the warm air hitting the inside of the glasses first. Try it, but watch out for the dog or cat.

Answer To Yesterday's Wink
If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now in?
Answer: If you answered second to last, you are wrong. Think about it... How can you overtake the person who is last? If you're behind them, they can't be last. You would have been last.
