Q: What was established on February 20, 1792?
A: George Washington called into existence the federal post office. Two days later, the post office performed its first official act -- they closed for George's birthday. The United States needed a post office so the loss and delay of mail could be handled in a more efficient manner. In 1792 it cost six cents to mail a letter 30 miles, 12 cents for 150 miles. So, actually, 39 cents to mail a letter across the country today isn't so bad. It's only about a penny a day.

Q: If you suffer from scotophobia, what do you have an abnormal fear of?
A: You're afraid of the dark.
