Dear Doctor Science,
I have noticed while driving around the country, that the best radio reception always seems to be on religious radio stations. Does God have anything to do with this?
-- Rick Urban from Urbandale, Iowa
Oddly enough, no. God tends to favor stations that play early rythmn and blues recordings, and maintains a limited interest in hip hop, or rap music. By the way, Solomon was the first rapper, and if read in the original language, the Song of Solomon is very close to something Snoop Doggy Dog or Puff Daddy might intone into the microphone. Last time I checked, God's favorite song was "At Last" by the young Etta James. God finds most religious music to be a crashing bore and given his soulful musical leanings, it's not hard to see why.

If I forward my phone to a friend and that friend unwittingly dials my number on the phone I forwarded to, will this set up an infinite loop and bring down the entire global telephone network?

Dear Doctor Science, Despite many operations, my fellow physicians and I have never found the human soul. What does it look like? Where is it? If I should ever meet one, what should I say?

-- Dr. P.R. from Winston-Salem, NC

The soul lives in the small intestines and varies in size from 3 to 12 inches in height. A good soul flies out of the mouth to heaven, which looks a lot like certain parts of Mexico. A bad soul descends to Hell, which resembles a quadruplex cinema at a shopping mall, all showing a bad print of "Flipper", "Dune" or perhaps "The Coneheads." Now a soul in purgatory looks oddly like a Care Bear, and Purgatory itself, of course, resembles a bin in a five and ten cent store. What do you say to a soul? Try "Hello" or "Hey, how's it going?" But don't be miffed if the soul clams up on you. A soul is, after all, mostly ectoplasm and spirit and doesn't have much to offer in the way of conversation. But, then, neither does Flipper, come to think of it.
