Questions

I GOTTA QUICK QUESTION: what on earth, or anywhere else, is an "E" cigarette? Electronic ciggie, I got that part. But, um...where do you plug it in? Does it run on batteries? Do the batteries come included with the ciggie, or must one purchase them separately? Presumably, and this is just a guess, a person needs to only have a single E cigarette. How many do you buy? One? Twenty? Why would anyone need more than one? Are they not resuable, like all other electronic gadgets? What are they like? Do they look the same as regular accoustic cigarettes? Where does the smoke come from? Is it manufactured electronically, in side a miniature motor within the tube proper? Do they taste good? Do they somehow include nicotene? If not, do they satisfy real smokers? Or, are they nicotene free, and intended as a means of weening folks off the "real thing"? Questions, questions. All stupid sounding, but sincerely posed, by someone who has never smoked a cigarette, and thus knows nothing. And, you know what they say about questions; there aint never a supid one. Then, moving right along, what on earth is "bitcoin"? A new, internet based system of currency, it would seem. Where, and by whom, did "bitcoin" originate? Is it here to stay? Is it solvent, exchangeable with other major world currencies? Who keeps track of it? Why are the Cninese refusing to participate in the system? (or are they?) And, last but not least, will bitcoin become the new international currency, replacing the American dollar and superceding the Euro as the international unit of exchange? Anyone who can answer these questions about these two topics, and also clearly, lucidly explain exactly who the Kardashians are and why they are on television, is far more culturally literate than I . Ignorance, however, is indeed bliss.
