Does the Drake and Josh give a compliment then walk away thing actually work?
Q. I recently watched an episode of Drake and Josh where Josh's mom told him to give a compliment and then walk away. Again I know this is TV, but this is an unusual tatic considering most tv shows just have the girl immediately like the guy she is talking to, but I digress. Point blank: does walking up to a girl, complimenting her, then walking away actually work or am I being stupid?

A. I'd say that it absolutely works. I'd be much more interested in a man who gives me a compliment and walks away, then a man who gives me a compliment and hovers around me and expects me to either compliment him back or immediately give him my number.

On 26 September Golden Hind sailed into Plymouth with Drake and 59 remaining crew aboard, along with a rich cargo of spices and captured Spanish treasures. The Queen's half-share of the cargo surpassed the rest of the crown's income for that entire year. Hailed as the first Englishman to circumnavigate the Earth (and the second such voyage arriving with at least one ship intact, after Elcano's in 1520), Drake was awarded a knighthood by commonly thought to be Queen Elizabeth aboard Golden Hind."

A. His voyage to the west coast of North America is important for a number of reasons. When he landed, his chaplain held Holy Communion; this was one of the first Protestant church services in the New World (though French Huguenots had founded an ill-fated colony in Florida in the 1560s). Drake was seen to be gaining prestige at the expense of the Papacy. What is certain of the extent of Drake's claim and territorial challenge to the Papacy and the Spanish crown is that his port was founded somewhere north of Point Loma; that all contemporary maps label all lands above the Kingdoms of New Spain and New Mexico as "Nova Albion", and that all colonial claims made from the East Coast in the 1600s were "From Sea to Sea".

A. People are used to seeing him as Drake on Drake and Josh, a show for young people on a generally "innocent" network - but while playing a young teen, he was always years older than his character. He's 22 now, old enough to be making decisions to act in movies that portray those things - and that's realistic, those are the things that happen at his age, and they're all legal for him so it's not portraying anything illegal, and only "wrong" if you have those restricting morals. But I think it looks like it'll be a so-so movie, and I'm sure he'll be funny in it. xx

A. I keep saying it. Drake is a hack. The events leading up to his formulation of that eponymously named equation and his obvious (although generally ignored) bias behind his "results" lead one to believe that the only truth to be found "out there" is that ego rules the Universe. Really, if you daughter was asked "Suzie, how many stars form in the Milky Way every year?" would her answer be: 1) a wild guess 2) something she heard Carl Sagan say 20 years ago 3) "No one told me there would be math..." If you want to see what this whole thing was based on: Fermi was a brilliant man.
