Question: Would someone please explain to me why Marcia did not just simply remove her dangly bracelet that endangered the girls standing in the house of cards competition after Carol said "Oh Marcia, Marcia, your bracelet"? It would have made it less stressful on her not to mention her team, and she wouldn't have had to restrain it with her other hand.
Answer: There were several episodes throughout the run of the show where Marcia was infatuated with a guy she went to school with. This bracelet could have been a gift from her then-boyfriend; as such, she would not want to take it off, as a sign of loyalty. A stupid thing to do, of course, but it's not a mistake for a character simply to be dumb.
Question: Why exactly was Dick Dastardly so anxious to capture Yankee Doodle Pigeon?
Answer: During the First World War, pigeons were used to carry messages across the battle lines. Yankee Doodle is carrying some sort of American orders or intelligence.
Question: We never found out what the ham and chicken bones had to do with anything. They were ham and chicken until Scooby ate them. Afterwards, Shaggy wonders why the ghost would keep ham and chicken in the fridge. This was never answered in the episode. Why were they important?
Chosen answer: A ghost wouldn't have to keep any food in the fridge - they don't need to eat. So it is one thing that proves the ghost is not a ghost.
Question: Why are so many episodes and segments on Sesame Street lost?
Answer: Over 4500 episodes of Sesame Street have been produced since its debut in 1969. Some of the earliest episodes have been lost for a variety of reasons, such as copies being misplaced or from some type of physical damage, though the amount is relatively small. Some segments were recycled into new episodes, while others were archived and are no longer available. HBO airs later Sesame Street episodes, though they recently decreased the number now shown by over 200. They needed to reduce the amount to free up space for other streaming programs.
Answer: The dangling bracelet was used for dramatic purposes - to keep the audience on edge.
