TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK: How may years does it take for glass to decompose?

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK'S QUESTION: If this Halloween you happen to see a "witch" passing in front of the moon, she won't be riding just any kind of broom. She'll be riding a besom, sometimes called a witch's broom. It has a tree limb for a broomstick, twigs for bristles, and flexible branches binding the twigs to the handle.
