Here's one (some of you may know right off the top of your head). What is Indian money? I don't mean that as in what currency do they use in India. I heard it in a country song. The lyrics go "hunting tadpoles and indian money". I have no idea what that is.

What does, "Will you turn the air up," mean? Does that mean increase the listed temperature or does it mean turn it on higher because it's not blowing/cooling enough?

I wonder the same thing about, "I made/got all the lights." Does that mean they were red or green?

Is it bad when you tell someone they look different and ask if they've lost some weight and they say, yeah they lost over 60lbs? Is it still a compliment or a fail?

Also, am I dying inside? My farts smell like the cancer today.

Also should a guy tell a woman that her zipper is down? What about if her nipple is out?
It would stop the problem then and there before later in the day when she realizes everyone has seen it.

Where do farts go when you hold them in?

Doctors I have stated there is no particular harm in holding in farts. Farts will not poison you; they are a natural component of your intestinal contents. The worst thing that can happen is that you may get a stomach ache from the gas pressure. But one doctor suggested that pathological distention of the bowel could result if a person holds in farts too much. And Dr. P. said that the effort involved in retaining flatus can cause hemorrhoids. Doctors agree that the fart is neither released nor absorbed. It simply migrates back upward into the intestine and comes out later. A captive fart can escape as soon as the person relaxes. This means that a lot of people who assiduously refrain from farting during the day do so at great length as soon as they fall asleep.
It is reassuring to know that such farts aren't really lost, just delayed.

I've wondered this for a loooong time:
Why does the moon look bigger near the horizon?

This question has been pondered for hundreds if not thousands of years. This problem is commonly referred to as the moon illusion.
Some have speculated that there is some effect that causes the atmosphere to act like a magnifying glass making the moon look bigger. It turns out that any distortion caused by the atmosphere would actually make the moon look a little smaller.

Most scientists agree that the reason the moon looks bigger is purely in our minds. Our mind interprets the things we see in interesting ways. For instance, if you look at any door frame you can see that it is rectangular. But if you were to sketch the outline of the door frame from the angle that you are looking at it, most likely you would sketch a trapezoid. Your mind adjusts the door so that you perceive it as a rectangle from whatever angle you look at it. That theory is called shape constancy.
