Today's batch of burning questions, my smart-aleck answers and the real deal:
Question: Is it legal to pass a city of Asheville ART bus when it's pulled over to load or unload passengers? It drives me crazy when I get stuck behind one.
My answer: Am I the only one who finds the city's name for its bus system, "Asheville Redefines Transit," or ART, a little pretentious? I mean, they're buses, hauling humans. It's not like they're fuel cell-powered hovercraft. That would redefine transit.

Real answer: Sgt. Dave Romick, spokesman for the Asheville Police Department, said in a nutshell the answer is, "Yes, as long as it can be done safely.
"I always slow down when passing an ART bus that's loading/unloading or driving by an occupied bus stop," Romick said. "Sometimes, small children ride the bus, and you never know when a child might dart away from their parents."
City transit buses are not treated like school buses, according to N.C. Highway Patrol Sgt. Craig Harris.
"(The no-pass law) doesn't apply because it's not a school bus &#; a stop arm does not come out and warning lights don't come on," Harris said. "So, it does not meet the requirements on something you have to stop for."
Buses do typically put their flashers on to alert motorists they're stopping.
Harris did advise caution when passing, though, and he noted that you cannot pass a stopped bus on a two-lane road if you have to cross the center line. In that situation, you have to wait and let the bus load or unload.
Question: After reading about the severe drought in California, I got to thinking about water. Specifically, why don't we just make our own water? We combine other elements all the time to create useful materials. Why can't we just take one atom of oxygen and combine it with two hydrogen atoms to make as much water as we want? It seems so simple!
My answer: I think we're all better off not randomly combining atoms in this world.
Real answer: It's not so simple.
"The source of hydrogen on earth is water, along with petroleum and coal for the most part," said Arthur Salido, an associate professor in the Western Carolina University Chemistry Department. "Capturing and storing hydrogen is energetically costly, especially in the acute timeframe required to replenish a drought. Electrolysis of water is another costly way to make hydrogen. None of these processes are carbon neutral and would add greenhouse gas emissions."
"Hydrogen combustion creates water vapor which is technically a greenhouse gas," Salido continued. "If hydrogen gas were easy to source and store, the idea would have merit. Unfortunately, hydrogen is very reactive, even explosive."
