Since the introduction of Mr. Knowitall, who is our resident historian, economist, food critic, movie reviewer, foreign affairs consultant, sci- ence correspondent, con- sumer products expert and vending machine repairman (not necessarily in that order), many of you have written in seeking advice about holiday gift-giving. Due to the enormous vol- ume of email we received, they will be answered through a lottery-style process — which means that, until he wins the lottery, Mr. Knowitall will continue to answer your questions.

Dear Mr. Knowitall: I’m thinking of getting my wife some of that spray that helps remove body hair. Is it safe? — Harry in Harrisburg, Pa. Dear Harry: Not for you, it isn’t. Dear Mr. Knowitall: I’d like to get my wife a personal protection device for Christmas. I heard about something on the Internet that’s a combination pepper- spray gun, flash light and whistle.
