There is a solution to every problem, India Satire introduces Doctor Know-it-all

India Satire introduces Dr. Know-it-all who answers all the questions in the universe. Guys, this doctor knows everything and important is that he can solve all of your problems. So anything that sucks your brain just shoot.

Our first question comes from a gullible reader who has fallen prey to yet another Internet hoax:

Dear Know-it-all,

I went to the movies with my friends today. We only had two options at our local theater – The Conjuring and Chennai Express. Since we were in the mood for some scares, we chose to see Chennai Express. I recently received a forwarded email which mentioned that anything Deepika says in her Tamil accent, when played backwards, reveals Satanic messages which affect the viewers subliminally. Is that true?

- living in fear

Dear living in fear,

Don't be silly. It's common knowledge that you don't need to play her dialogues backwards to hear those messages.

It's like no one has even heard of snopes

The next question comes from a self-proclaimed Indian patriot. Yeah, one of those guys:

Dear know-it-all,

Why is the government trying to push the changes to the RTI act? Does it think that all Indians are idiots and will let them do it?

- A true patriot.

Dear true patriot,

I don't know about other Indians being idiots, but you certainly are one. Can't you see that the call for amendments to the act has finally united all the political parties to fight for a common cause? Even the Independence Day speeches could not do that. I say it's absolutely worth it even if takes a Right To Information Pact(see what I did there?) to get them to act together for once.

Dear Know-it-all,

I've heard rumours that the recent cricket series between India and Zimbabwe was fixed. Was it?

- A cricket fan

Dear cricket fan,

You're right, that series was fixed. But now how you think – there were no towels or other signalling infrastructure involved. After making some detailed inquiries which included some frenzied Googling and asking Prabhakar to shoot some grainy videos, I've come to the inevitable conclusion – all the games were computer generated by the BCCI (I think Randy may be involved too). Now before you dismiss my claim citing the Law of Averages (even I have to be wrong one day), just answer the following question – have you ever met anyone who has claimed to have seen that particular series in person or on television? Exactly. Also, repeated attempts to get any information from Kohli who was the 'captain' for this 'series' were met with non-committal responses like 'Who are you and what have you done to the real milkman?' and 'What are you doing inside my fridge?' and 'No, I will not give you my autograph on that!' I rest my case.

That's it for yet another edition. Just remember what a wise person once said before hitting that send button - 'There's no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people who ask said questions.'

The doctor is also available at THIS, THAT AND EVERYTHING
