### What's The Difference?

#### Lizz Winstead

Subject: Chance

Question (listener-submitted): What is the difference between fortunate and fortuitous?

Lizz's Response: Fortunate is having luck, while fortuitous is coincidence.

Alonzo's Response: Agrees

Answer: Fortunate simply means lucky (it's always good), while fortuitous means by happenstance or chance, which can be good or bad. "For example, an asteroid hit my house, which was a fortuitous but terrible situation. I was fortunate not to be at home at the time."

#### Alonzo Bodden

Subject: Plants

Question: What is the difference between coconut water and coconut milk?

Alonzo's Response: Coconut water is found between the large, green husk and brown seed, while the milk is found within the brown seed.

Lizz's Response: Agrees, because "he said it with such conviction, and when he doubled down, he said it exactly the same way."

Answer: Coconut water is what you find when you crack open a coconut; the liquid that's naturally inside. Usually this liquid comes from unmature, green coconuts. Coconut milk is manufactured. It's the result of scooping out the meat of a mature, brown coconut, soaking it in water and straining out the pieces. This produces a coconut creme and coconut milk, just like cow's milk ... and they both smell like suntan oil.
