Legion World
Weren't you talking about Quis impersonating someone?
Posted By: Catonyx Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 05/08/18 12:48 PM
I was talking about Quis?
Is that why my ears were hot?
Wasn't it because you were using Princess Leia ear buns?
What other bits of Quis are considered to be hot?
Should we take Quis' temperature?
Which way do you plan to take my temperature?
have you an alternative to a thermometer?
Don't you know that there are two types of thermometers?
Which types are those?
Haven't you heard about the one that goes where the sun don't shine?
Where doesn't the sun shine? Isn't that everywhere Tasmia casts her shadow?
Why must you involve Tasmia in this?
Isn’t she proud of her ability to blot out the sun?
Posted By: Catonyx Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 05/09/18 03:28 PM
Would she have been accepted into the Legion if she wasn't?
Wasn't the Mess proud of his power to attract dirt?
Is attracting dirt as useful as blotting out the sun?
Isn't it more useful as how many times have you really needed the sun to be blotted out?
What would you do with all that dirt though?
Couldn't you use it as insulation?
For what?
Couldn't it be used to reinforce a bunker, due to the radiation from a sun that could do with a bit of blotting out?
Wouldn't the sun burn away all that dirt?
Posted By: Catonyx Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 05/10/18 12:50 PM
What if it couldn't though?
Couldn’t, shouldn’t, or wouldn’t?
How can I decide?
Would you like to flip a coin?
Can I keep the coin?
Would you like to keep it even if it's only 5 Philippine cents?
Money's money, isn't it?
Is all money equal in value?
Do you want to trade me your $5 bill for my $1 bill?
What if your $1 bill was a counterfeit created by a deceased great artist?
Can you prove that it is?
Do you doubt my art historian credentials even though they too look like counterfeits created by, if not a great artist then an aspiring one with access to a wide selection of crayons?
Did you use all 128 Crayola crayon colors?
Is that how many colours there are or are Crayola forcing us into a narrow chromatic worldview?
Would you like to catalogue the infinite number of colors in the universe?
Posted By: Catonyx Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 05/11/18 12:58 AM
Can I get some help with task?
How much help?
Are there really an infinite number of colours?
What would Color Kid say?
Wouldn't he wax poetic about the Legion of Substitute Heroes?
Would he also want to wax something else?
Do you think he waxes his eyebrows?
Does he seem like someone who does?
What do we really know about Color Kid?
Have you read his bio?
Is it in multi coloured ink or text?
Can you count the colors he used?
Would you believe that I'm colour blind?
Do you think it will be that difficult for me to believe?
How credulous are you?
On a scale of 1-10?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 05/13/18 04:10 AM
Has that scale been properly calibrated?
What's the difference between accuracy and precision?
Do you want an exact answer?
Can you round it down to the nearest thousandth?
Posted By: Catonyx Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 05/13/18 01:14 PM
How will you know if I can't?
Should I test you more?
Will this be an open book test?
Could someone point me to informative articles to help me study for the test?
Wouldn't you rather form a study group?
Who would join my study group?
Wouldn’t a lot of people be interested?
Should I advertise?
Are you planning to spam us?
Why would I throw cans of pork and ham at you?
Isn't that your super-power?
Would it qualify you for Legion membership?
Are the Subs hiring?
Don't they take volunteers?
Don't they have any other screening criteria?
Isn't the only criteria is that you have been rejected by the Legion of Superheroes?
Shouldn't applicants also have good moral character?
What constitutes good moral character?
How should we define it?
Is this another time we are going the "Check a dictionary" route?
Can you suggest a different route?
Do you have access to a map?
Is Google Maps okay?
Okay for what?
Okay in general ?
Is Google Maps trying to pull rank?
Over Citymapper, and those other upstart apps, you mean?
Which is a better map, Google Maps or Citymapper?
Would you believe, the answer is "it depends"?
What does it depend on?
Doesn't it depend on your purpose?

Are you about to burst into "The Internet is for Porn"?
Do people burst when listening to that song?
Would that villain get past the comics code?
Haven’t there been other exploding villains before?
Can you think of others beyond Shrapnel?
Do Pokémon count?
How can you tell when they only can repeat their name when they speak?
Do they count while they're exploding?
Why do they explode?
Are there exploding types of Pokemon?
Haven’t you heard of Voltorb and Electrode?
Are they Pokemon?
Do you think I'd introduce some non-Pokemon after talking about Pokemon so much?
Don't you enjoy variety?
Isn't variety the spice of life?
Do all of Frank Herbert's Dune books contain variety acts, as they were about the spice of life?
Doesn’t sand make a good spice?
Do you want to put sand on your food?
Would it be a bad thing to do so?
Would it improve your enjoyment of the food?
Should I try first to find out?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 05/18/18 02:45 AM
Does Hawaiian Black sand give better taste like Australian Pink salt?
Wouldn't you rather compare Hawaiian Black to Icelandic Black?
Does this mean we are taking trips to Hawaii and Iceland?
Is your passport ready?
Do I need a passport if we are going by Time Bubble?
What if future immigration stops you?
Can't we go into the past?
Do you think the sand will be more pristine then?
Have you remembered to pack your bucket and spade for playing in the sand?
You don't mean for potty breaks?
Is that why your sand sculptures are so distinctive?
Doesn’t the liquid make the sand easier to work with?
Have you taken a look at the more...ah...solid.. aspects of Power Boy's sand sculptures?
How solid are they?
Could you prod one with that spade to check?
Is it going to attack me and try to eat my brain?
Is that something you think is going to happen with anything you prod?
Haven't you watched any horror movies recently?
Is it a surprise that things attack you when you prod them?
Don't some things like being prodded?
Could you give me an example?
How about Blaze?
How hard do you prod Blaze?
What should my limit be?
How high is his pain threshold?
Why must there be pain involved?
Do you think that testing Blaze's cuddle threshold would determine how much he likes to be prodded?
What happens if I push too far?
Do you really want to push as well as prod?
Are you trying to push my buttons?
Isn't it nice of thoth tohelp you button up your coat?
Can't you just zip it? smile
Don't I have a right to talk if I want to?
Would you like to have free speech, or would you prefer our premium witty repartee service?
Is it really all that witty?
Would Sir care to try our Budget Badinage Special as a aperitif to the delightful repartee?
How does this compare to Wildfire’s teaching combat badinage to Shikari?
Do you consider Shikari to be a Dawnstar analogue?
Do you want an honest answer or a safe answer that prevents me from getting lynched?
Isn't lynching illegal?
But is it ethical?
Doesn't being illegal trump it being ethical?
Is there anything ethical in trump's illegal activities?
Do you really want to get into politics on this board?
And besides, should Trump and ethics be used in the same sentence?
Are ethics and politicians allowed to be in the same sentence?
Are we that hopeless?
How close are we to achieving a utopian ideal?
How close, or how far?
Are we hindered in achieving a utopian ideal because efforts are split into how close and how far camps?
Is this a holdover from the "glass half full" or "half empty" debates?
Is it how close to empty vs how far from full, or how close to full versus how far from empty?
Are you saying there are four camps, not just two?
Are we going camping?
Must we be all campy if we do?
Wouldn't that make the camping all that more fun?
Who here has seen Carry On Camping?
Can I watch it now?
Can we continue posting here while you go and watch it?
Can't IB post and watch at the same time?
Aren't some things worth getting undivided attention?
Does this extend to some people too?
Do you feel you're not getting the attention you deserve?
Should we start an All-Invisible Brainiac thread?
Is there that much to discuss about me?
You want that we should discuss me?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to continue discussing rumor and gossip about you?
If we start an All-Invisible Brainiac thread who would be able to see it?
Does anyone here have x-ray vision?
Can't we just order the x-ray spec advertised in the back of comic books?
Is X-ray vision what is needed here, or perhaps we are thinking of infra-red vision?
weren't you the one that brought up x-ray vision?
Could that have been an imposter Invisible Brainiac?
Who would dare impersonate Invisible Brainiac?
Isn't Bizarro Invisible Brainiac known to do such things?
Me no am predictable?
Who would have thought that next post would be a Bizarro one?
What am Bizarro? Do you not mean bizarre?
Would you rather be odd, bizarre or eldritch?
Are those my only choices?
What other choices would you like to have?
How about smarter than your average bear?
Should we reward Quis with picnic baskets?
Does the park ranger carry a firearm?
Would the presence of a firearm change your mind?
Is it wrong to worry about armed people around you when you're just trying to enjoy a picnic?
Isn't it sad that that has to be a concern?
Couldn't you go to a "no firearms" park?
Where is the nearest one?
Will those show up on Google Maps?
Is it working for you now?
Aren't the best places the ones that aren't on Google maps?
Is it because they are hidden from hordes of tourists?
Wouldn't parks that are "no firearms" parks want to advertise rather than stay hidden?
Wouldn't some trolls be more likely to bring guns to the park just to be contrary?
Have trolls gained self esteem and moved out from under bridges?
Aren't we more accepting of supernatural creatures now?
Are you including those horrid little troglodytes?
Do you think they deserve to be called "horrid"?
Don't they deserve to be called worse?
Why should they be called worse?
Why shouldn't they?
Might it not hurt their feelings?
Should they suck it up?
Why should they be any more tolerant than anyone else these days?
Should they be overly sensitive instead?
Should they set up their social media accounts first, in order to have "oh, poor me" platforms to moan at the world with?
Do you recommend Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat?
Shouldn't they have coverage across them all to moan to as many people as possible?
Would you follow them if so?
And be accused of staling them?
What is the boundary between following and stalking?
Shouldn't that be decided on a case-by-case basis?
Would there be leniency for crossing that line by accident, because there are no defined boundaries?
Does the phrase "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" mean anything then?
Wouldn't each individual word have a meeting, therefore putting them together should also have a meaning?
Do you think that "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" is meaningful?
What of sentences that have words put in the wrong order?

What do you have against colorless green ideas?
Did EDE not read My Greenest Adventure #9, when Flex Mentallo went up against the enraged Sage Shades of Somnambulism?
How did the Sage Shades attack?
Would you side with Professor Golightly's Shambling Sage Shades of Somnambulism or would you be more willing to accept Dr Madlove's hypothesis that they were the Shoogling Sage Shades of Somnambulism ?
Why did I read that as Dr. Maldives?
Are you planning a trip there?
Wouldn’t that be a cool place to spend summer?
Wouldn't Antarctica be the coolest place to spend the summer?
Can you buy me tickets to go there?
Am I your sugar daddy?
How much can you contribute to my shopping fund?
Are there many shops on Antarctica?
Wouldn't it be a great idea to start one, if there aren't?
What would be the first shop you'd open?
Wouldn't a shop for winter wear be good?
But wouldn't sales slump in the summer?
Don't a lot of things slump in the summer heat?
Surely you look forward to the summer Cricket season?
Can't you play cricket in other seasons?
Why would you play cricket if it's raining?
Doesn’t that make it more fun and challenging?
By "fun and challenging" do you mean very dangerous and yet dull?
Do “fun” and “dull” mean the same thing?
Are you easily pleased?
In what aspect?
Are you generally easily pleased?
Again, in what aspect?
Instead of general moods of contentment, do you spent time breaking the mood down into specific areas?
Isn't it good to think about your own thinking?
Is that navel gazing at the expense of thinking of the world and others around you?
Isn't my navel also part of the world?
How much can you learn from your navel?
Are you thinking about enlisting in the force that travels to learn from such things; the Navel Naval Force?
Didn't someone once say "Some people can read War and Peace and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story. Others can read the ingredients on a chewing gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe."?
Weren't they from the wrecked spaceship that managed to survive on a stick of gum they found in Galactus' pocket?
Who knew gum was so useful?
Wouldn't an omniscient being know that?
Are you implying that I should be omniscient?
Could I just be asking a rhetorical question?
Should I stop asking questions back?
And spoil our fun?
How much fun are you having?
Is there a machine that can measure how much funn I am having?
Like the kissing machine thingie the Adventure Era Legion used?
Is this thread more or less fun than kissing?
Which do you enjoy doing more?
Does Ze Tongue have a sister?
Would you like to meet her?
Does she want to meet me?
Why wouldn't she?
What if she is a lesbian?
Do you not get along with lesbians?
Would a lesbian want to date a man?
Couldn't a lesbian want to meet you without wanting to date you?
Couldn't the meeting be for a business opportunity?
What is this business opportunity you speak of?
Would Ze Tongue's sister possibly steer you wrong in business?
Would you rather listen to Ze Tongue's sister or to Ze Tongue's tongue?
Are those the only two with a business plan?
Would you like to hear the Joker's plan?
Could it be any worse than Bizarro's business plan?
Posted By: cleome57 Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 06/06/18 08:15 PM
Can we appreciate how long he's stayed in business in such a competitive and ever-changing field?
What if I don't appreciate it?
What would you aprpeciate about him?
Do you appreciate his way with words?
Are you saying Ze Tongue has a good tongue?
Weren't we talking about Bizarro?
Am I supposed to read everything? and would I really like an answer to that?
Can't you just read everything on the last page, rather than reading from the beginning?
Aren’t there only two posts on my last page because I have different settings?
Can't you get your settings in synch with the rest of us?
Do you all have the same settings?
Can't we just base everyone's settings on mine?
What are your settings?
Would you share all your data with us, so we can copy your settings?
How foolish do you think I am?
Would you share it with a Nigerian prince?
Couldn't the Nigerian prince just get the setting info from the other Nigerians we sold them to?
How much money did we get for that?
What do you mean by "we"?
Is Quis trying to incriminate us?
Is he looking for a cut of the proceeds?
Can you give him a cut?
By "cut", do you mean some of the takings, or "cut" as in an assault to prevent him from getting his share?
Did you just invent that second definition?
Do you watch many crime dramas?
What does that have to do with it?
Won't it determine if you are familiar with the terminology used in such scenarios?
Do you mean like "leave him leaking" to indicate a stabbing?
Is blood the only thing that can leak from a human body?
How heavy a cold would it have to be for you to actually leak?
Are we thinking of the same bodily fluids?
Would you tell me what you are thinking so we can compare?
Do you want me to tell you privately?
How will the rest of us find out?
Do you really need know?
Know, or to know?
Shouldn't it be shared with everyone and not just myself?
Can't you share it onwards?
When will I be told, so that I can pass it on?
Arne't you supposed to find it out for yourself, so you can earn membership in the Espionage Squad?
Are you in the Espionage Squad?
Would I have to kill you after telling you ?
How would recruit people if you end up killing them when you tell them who you represent?
Is this like how nobody can look at Medusa without being turned to stone?
Could Medusa's hairdresser look at her in a mirror?
Wasn’t that how Violet and Ferro beat up the Medusa-like villain called Stheno in the Reboot?
Why haven't we seen more of Stheno?
Would you be happy to see her in more fan fiction?
Is she not worthy to make more appearances in the regular book?
Is there a regular book at the moment?
Will Euryale be jealous at being left out?
Is Euryale the jealous type?
Have you heard the saying "better to be a snake in her hair, than a snake who crosses her" before?
Did you just make that saying up?
Is that why you've not heard it before?
Are there many things you haven’t heard of before?
How would I know how many things I have never heard?
Aren't you Quislet the Omniscient?
Doesn't Quislet have many more nicknames than that?
Can you give some examples of other nicknames I have?
Can't you find any in the rumors and gossip thread about you?
Surely we can't count all that graffiti about Quislet as actual nicknames can we?
*hides spray paint* What graffiti are you talking about?
Where did it all go?
All what?
Didn't you see the grafitti?
You mean the "art" on the walls of your room?
Why did you use quotes around art?
Isn't "art" in the eye of the beholder?
Is that an appropriate use of quotation marks?
Who decides what is appropriate?
Would that be The Omnipotent Quislet?
What is Omniscience without Omnipotence?
Is sensing the same as knowing?
Are you trying to complete a Myers-Briggs personality test?
Isn't that outdated?
Can you propose a better test?
Have you tried the Quislet-Ester Davis Personality test?
How many questions does this test have?
Is there going to be a test about the test?
Isn’t testing about the test a good way to learn as much as possible about the test, in case you are tested about it in the future?
Isn't that going a bit too far?
How far do you want to go?
What's the final destination?
Do you want Nura Nal to tell you about your final destination?
What if I already know where I will end up?
What else will she be able to tell me?
Doesn't she also have super fashion sense?
Is that enough to get into the Legion by itself?
Would it have been enough before the Athramites showed up and fashion-ed everyone to annoyance?
Did they have powers or was that just training?
Would you consider their 47 senses a power?
If an Athramite had enhanced 47 senses, could they be a Legionnaire?
What would an enhanced sense of fashion be like, and how could it be used offensively?
Could the power be used to make people unfashionable enough to get kicked out of peer and villain groups?
Wouldn't it be cool to defeat Mordru using the power of ostracism?
Due to his S&M gear and silly hat, could Mordru be the one villain immune to this power?
Did Mordru die from embarrassment due to his silly hat?
Didn't he hear that such hats were cool underground, leading to his downfall?
Was he that eager to be buried alive again?
Doesn't everyone want to be buried alive?
Is this a rhetoric question?
Don't even rhetorical questions deserve answers?
Who has time to waste?
Are you wasting your time on this thread?
What could be more productive than spending time with Legion Worlders?
If I am on Legion World while at work, does that mean I am doubly productive?
Have you also duplicated yourself like Duo Damsel does?
Would that create a quintillion Quislet Queue Quandary?
Can you say that 5 times fast?
Only 5 times?
"That 5 times fast" is what you meant, right?
What is meaning, anyway?
What do you mean by meaning?
What is the meaning of meaning?
Isn't that what I asked you?
And what if it was?
Could you answer my question?
Is this the right time and place to answer your question?
If not here and now, then when and where?
How about your place, next Friday?
How is Boston this time of year?
Doesn't that depend on what you want to do?
What will Boston let us get away with?
Does what happens in Boston stay in Boston?
Does Boston have an impenetrable fence to keep things in Boston?
Was Boston one of the cities to survive Giffen's destruction of Earth, because it had that impenetrable fence?
Doesn't that depend on if Giffen likes or hates Boston?
Did Karate Kid ever visit Boston?
Do you think Karate Kid tainted Boston into the Giffen hate column?
Did you know that Brigadoon leaves our dimension only because KK took a day trip there and they wanted to escape Giffen's wrath?
Is that why Tyroc's still alive?
Wasn't Tyroc smart to have an exit plan?
Did his exit plan include distracting us with his fashion sense?
Would it have worked on those who appreciate how revealing his outfit is?
So you didn't notice his shoes?
What is it with you and shoes and feet?
Couldn't you be more supportive of someone who has suffered the agonies of de feet?
Have we resorted to using puns?
Why do you make the use of puns sound like a bad thing and the users of puns like heels?
Aren’t puns bad for the sole?
What do fish have to do with it?
Are we just talking about fish or all sea creatures?
Would you like to gossip about the whales?
Shouldn't what happens in the ocean stay in the ocean?
Should we further subdivide the ocean into smaller parts and determine what should be kept in each?
With the amount of waste we are dumping into the oceans, aren't they already shrinking?
How small should these subdivisions get?
By Imskian standards?
Do Imskins determine the standards of measurement in the UP?
Wouldn’t they be better for that than, say, the shapeshifting Durlans?
Don't Durlans need to know precise measurements of things for when they shapeshift?
Do they need to know, or does their antennae-sense full in the details for them?
Don't the antennae just let them imitate someone else rather than give them measurements?
How would they imitate someone else if the antennae didn’t accurately read the measurements?
Wouldn't a Groucho Marx disguise be sufficient for 80% of known sentients?
How versatile is a Groucho Marx disguise?
Wouldn't it work if you were going to the races or the opera?
Isn't another factor the time of day you were attending each of those?
What does time of day have to do with that?
Did you know that two of the Marx brothers films were A Day at the Races and A Night at the opera?
Isn’t that such a coincidence?
Are you sure it was a coincidence?
Do you think the Marx brothers are controlling this thread?
What are the chances of it being not?
Did you just say the secret word and win fifty dollars?
Where's the duck?
Does the duck have my fifty dollars?
Can we trust the duck or could there be fowl play?
Can I first slip out of this wet suit and into a dry martini?
Are you planning on taking a dry martini bath?
Can you come over this weekend so we can have a Marx Brothers marathon?
Are you planning on having a Marx brothers club, because I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member?
Would you join a club for people who shoot elephants in their pajamas?
Were the elephants’ pajamas that bad?
Isn't that irrelephant?
Are an elephant's pajamas stored in a trunk?
Is that why they’re always wet?
Who said the pajamas were wet?
Are we suggesting the elephant is incontinent?
Wouldn't that make quite a mess?
Is this another fine mess you have gotten us into?
Who's on first, anyway?
Ain't that what I am asking you?
Watcha talking about, Quis?
Could I be paraphrasing in order to make the routine a question?
Is it routine for you to make routines questions?
Isn’t it a good routine?
What did the crowd think?
how should I know?
Weren't you part of it?
Does the crowd think with one mind?
Aren't you one of us, one of us, one of us?
Can anyone else hear an echo?
Are we in the mountains?
Are we in an auditorium?
Or is this a sound studio?
Just where the heck are we?
Aren't we among friends?
Are all our friends here?
Should we have a toast to absent friends?
Or these comedians?
Or comedic friends?
Am I the wacky neighbor in this sitcom we call Legion World?
What other role would you prefer?
Do you want the wacky neighbor role for yourself?
Wouldn't thoth fit that role very well?
And I couldn't?
Is that a role that you would like?
Wouldn't you rather be the wacky neighbor rather than the annoying neighbor?
Aren't there other kinds of neighbors?
Does anyone bother mentioning the good neighbours?
Is this a sign that we all just love controversy?
How large are the fonts on that sign?
Aren’t they large enough?
How close do I have to be to read the sign?
Can you get closer?
Is it safe to get closer?
Are you afraid the sign will bite?
Might it not be more about the moat of alligators that surround the sign?
Couldn't you get binoculars to read the sign?
Is Quis that far away?
How close to the alligator moat do you want me to be?
Are you willing to get your feet wet?
Don't you feel attached to your feet?
What if you protect them by wearing crocs?
Do crocodiles get royalties from the sale of crocs?
Wouldn’t that be fair?
Do crocodiles have the trademark on "Crocs"?
Didn't they successfully sue for it at the same time they gained the trademark for Lacoste?
What was the docket number of that case?
Should I pick one at random?
How will you get the right case if you pick a random docket number?
Don't you think I'm lucky enough?
How many lotteries have you won?
Do you think Whitey Bulger won the lottery because of luck?
How many tickets did he buy?
Do you even know who Whitey Bulger is?
Am I supposed to, considering my age and where I come from?
Could you at least Google him?
Is he interesting enough for that?
Don't you think a gangster whose brother was president of the Massachusetts senate is interesting?
Do you know there's a movie about him called Black Mass that doesn't even include some of the most outrageous things?
If the most outrageous things were included, would the movie's title have changed?
Would you go see a movie title "The Winter Hill Gang"?
Will there be snowball fights and blizzards and ice cream?
Is that the type of movie you think it would be?
What type of movie do you think I am thinking of?
Wouldn't that be a light hearted comedy rather than a dark look in the nature of man?
Would it really be that different?
Are you a guy who laughs at a funeral?
Wouldn't a comedian like some laughter at their funeral?
What if the comedian was a sad one?
Did you ever see the Chuckles the Clown is Dead episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show?
Who exactly is Mary Tyler Moore?
Will the real Mary Tyler Moore please stand up?
Are there Mary Tyler Moore impostors?
Are there fake impostors too?
Would they not be the originals?
Can people pretend to be themselves?
Are you who we think you are?
Who do you think I am?
Did you debut prior to Crisis on Infinite Earth?
How can I keep track with all the reboots that have happened?
Could you employ a personal assistant?
Wouldn't personal assistants make villains more effective?
Does that link suggest that you'd rather be the personal assistant than the villain?
Would that make Ibby the power behind the throne of these villains, in other words, the real mastermind?
Isn't it always good to hire people smarter than you are?
Who would you hire?
Who is smarter than me?
How can we test for smartest?
Smartest one out of what sample size?
Would everyone in the universe be enough?
Isn't that a rather tall order?
Couldn't whoever is smartest figure that out?
Would that person be motivated to do so?
Wouldn't being declared the smartest being in the universe be motivation enough?
Are all smart beings motivated by bragging rights?
Shouldn't they be motivated to acquire knowledge?
Is it useful kowledge for them?
Can't all knowledge be useful?
Would it be useful for you to memorize every single member of the cast and crew in each of the eight Harry Potter movies, in alphabetical order and with their full titles?
Couldn't that be used to save the universe from a homicidal trivia expert?
Don't you remember the Terror of the Trivia Teen?!
Isn't trivia scary?
Is it scary if you have a trivial mind?
Does it scare you?
Does that equate to being good at general knowledge or just inconsequential knowledge?
Would you be annoyed if I answered "yes"?
How annoyed does thoth get?
Which one is he going to say yes to?
Which don’t you want him to say yes to?
Would you be satisfied if he says maybe?
Call me, maybe?
Are you changing your name to "maybe"?
Would employers be hesitant to hire someone whose name suggests indecision?
Are you saying that employers would be indecisive about hiring indecisive workers?
Does indecision beget more indecision?
How should I know or should I?
Would you want to know?
Wouldn't knowing more help the indecision?
Wouldn’t having too much information confuse things more?
Wouldn't having information lead one to a correct decision?
Wouldn’t too much information slow down action?
Do we want action or a good decision?
Can I have some time to think about that?
How much time do you need?
Does time mean the same thing to a six time trapper (and not a sextrapper as I almost typed)?
Do you normally think of Invisible Brainiac as a sextrapper?
Don't you think of yourself as a quintrapper?
How do you trap a quin?
Does the Mighty Quinn M know?
Could the M stand for Masterer?
Master of Everything.
Is that a question?
If it wasn't a question, do we have to start over?
Couldn’t it be, with the right quotation mark?
Do you mean punctuation mark?
Have I said the wrong thing again?
Why don't you blame a dead person for your little faux pas?
Which dead person should I blame?
Would it be best to pick a cult-type deceased figure whose followers will forgive you blaming the deceased person?
Are there such cult followers?
Are you suggesting that cultist followers don't follow any of the things they're supposed to hold dear, resulting in a world of oppression, greed and bigotry?
How did you develop all that from my short remark?
Wasn't your short remark in response to my previous question?
Was it?
If you don't know, how am I supposed to know?

And why didn't he answer my question?
Whose question must be answered here?
Should the question in the very last post be the one you as the next poster must answer (with a question)?
What if it's a rhetorical question?
Are any questions on this thread rhetorical?
Have any of them ever actually been answered?
Can't a question both answer the preceding question as well as pose a question of it's own?
Aren't we expecting too much from the questions?
Why hasn't your question completed washing my dishes and making me coffee?
Are you paying my question well enough for those tasks?
Shouldn't your question be honoured to do these things?
What if my question finds these things tedious?
What if these tasks were mere tests to the exciting things your question could then move onto?
Are they going through a career development plan?
What type of careers can a question have?
Will you pay me to give your question a careers counseling session?

What are my options?
Do you want to ask Lester Spiffany what's for sale?
Why would I want to buy anything from Lester Spiffany?
Doesn't he have quite the catalogue of high-quality products?
Aren't they really just cheap knock-offs made on Rimbor?
Do you think a rich family like the Spiffanys would stoop to such a dirty trick?
Could it be a sign that they've fallen on hard times?
Or is it how they became wealthy in the first place?
Couldn't that have been so?
Are you agreeing with me?
Am I?
Are you suggesting that, despite posting here, you don't exist?
Do I?
Are you now reciting wedding vows?
Don't we look cute in our matching tuxedos?
Weren't you going to wear the Vera Wang strapless gown?
Wasn’t that for the drag queen-themed bachelor party?

Didn’t you get blackout drunk, wiping your memory of the whole occasion?
Is that why my cat has lip stick and mascara on?

Is Quis going to catch Cat Stratch Fever?
Doesn't he already have it?
Could it give him new superpowers?
Would Quis turn into a cat burglar?
Why wouldn't I use my new cat powers for good?
Wouldn’t you want to steal from the rich to give to the poor?
What is the pay rate for being an anti-hero?
Can you tell me your comparison countries so I can run an analysis?
Does it matter which country I operate in?
Don't different countries have different laws?
As an anti-hero, do I really care about the law?
Is the bar just lowering for being called a villain?
Does jaywalking count as villainy?
Is it incriminating if I said no?

Does he need a lawyer?

Can Power Boy afford my services?
Aren’t you giving a teammate discount?
Why didn’t anyone tell me about this teammate discount?
Have you asked Quis for services before, Rocky?
Can anyone answer that question or just Rockhopper Lad?
Could someone answer on Rocky's behalf?
Can't Rocky answer by himself?

Where's Cubby?
Do you mean Cub, the son of Apparition and Ultra Boy?
Was Cub ever called Cubby?
Wouldn't that be a good nickname for him?
Aren't nicknames supposed to shorten names rather than make them longer?
Would you believe that I know some people whose nicknames are longer than their given names?
Why would I not believe you?
Aren't I glad that you're not a super skeptic?
Are radio-active skeptics known to bite people?
What would the power of super skepticism be like?
Would it be seen often, as a super skeptic would live in a cave somewhere to avoid putting up with all the rubbish spouted by the societies we live in?
Are you questioning society's values?
Could you list the values that society actually holds to?
Which society's values should I list?
Why don't you pick your favourite?
What if I like all societies equally?
If you were to pick one at random, which one would you pick?
Can I just throw a dart at a map?
By map, do you mean me ?

Is Power Boy a different version of Earth Man?
Does Power Boy also hate aliens?
awww Peebs would not be such a rotten guy would he ?
Are you talking about yourself in the third person?
Would Quislet, Esq really do that?
Was Invisible Brainiac addressing Quislet Esq., or Power Boy?
Aren't these questions open to anybody?
Or was he talking to himself again?
Are you really talking to yourself if you're from Cargg?
Doesn't Traid refer to it as talking to her selves?
What is the proper pronoun construction on Cargg?
Which Luornu among Neutral, Orange or Purple should we ask?
Is Triad the only Carggian we can ask?
Are they Carggians or Carggites?
Don't Carggites grow down from the ceiling, while Carggains grow from the ground up?
Was Luornu born in a cave?
Is it spelled "cavve" on Cargg?
Isn’t there a movement to turn all double letters into triples?
What is the name of this movement?
The Cargggite Conspiracy?
Have they let their own movement down by not calling it Thhhe Carrrgite Connnspiracy?
Did the movement fail because their name was unpronounceable?
They were too fun loving to get into politics, preferring to go go-carrrting and play crrrazy golf.
They also made their own version of Innnttterrrlllaccc. Or some radicals proposed it, but it was too much even for the majority of members
Did IB & thoth forget the name of this thread?
Is editing previous posts allowed?
Would it make you feel better?
Should I feel bad, if it was thoth’s fault that I made the mistake?
Do you want me to tell you how you should feel in all situations or just this one?
Why don’t you tell me for everything, so I have guidance?
Are you willing to pay my guidance fees?
How do we know that you'll guide us in the right direction?
Can you give me a quote?
Is this the quote you are looking for "Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot."?
Is that just criminals who are like that?
Do you think that I am superstitious?
Do you run shrieking in fear when you see a man dressed as a giant bat?
Is it Adam West?
Do you want it to be?
Isn't Adam West preferable to Christian Bale who would mumble something at you that you'd have to ask him to repeat?
What if some people like being mumbled at?

Aren’t you hilarious?
You speak that language?
Is Invisible Brainiac really Cypher from the New Mutants?

Would you like a reboot on that story?
Is Reboot the author of Invisible Brainaic's adventures?
Do I live only in Reboot’s imagination?.
What does Reboot say about that?
Shall we wait for Reboot to pop in, or shall we start submitting guesses?
Isn't it fun to guess ourselves?
What about guessing is fun for you?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 08/04/18 02:33 AM
Will guessing spoil the mystery?
Should we guess about guessing?
Why would you do that rather than just guess?
Isn’t it good to be a little meta so we can learn more about how we guess?
Is it as good as just guessing?
Guessing what, exactly?
Dopes it have to be guessed exactly or would a rough estimate do?
What are we doping?
Did The Boss tell you nothing?
Are you sure you haven’t gotten the instructions mixed up?
Aren't we putting concrete shoes on DiDio Dobbin, so it wins in the fifth?
Where did you put him after you put the concrete shoes on???
Do you really think the concrete shoes fad will take off?
Has Rann Antar invented something to make concrete shoes as light as feathers?
Haven't you see the Rann Antar line of lead shoes?
Is he the lead-er in the field?
Would that be Wrigley Field in Chicago?
Is that where they all sit eating chewing gum?
Do people really eat chewing gum?
How odd is thoth’s diet?
Isn't there always one kid who swallows his gum, as if it was a habit he was stuck to?
Shall we thank you for being that kid?
Aren't I too modest to look for thanks?
Are you now?
Am I now what?
Weren’t we questioning thoth’s modesty?
Isn't that above questioning?
Is this another of Ibby's attempts to malign my spotless reputation?
Has thoth caught on to my evil plan?
Isn't Thoth evil anyway?
Is it still evil if my plan is used to destroy someone evil?
Do two evils make a good?
Is one of those evils lesser?
Would they cancel each other out if they were equal?
Aren't concepts of good and evil and greater or lesser ones subjective?
Could super heroes use the power of subjective belief to defeat super villains simply by getting more people to believe the villains are evil?
Can't there be an objective basis for evil?
Could the Spectre give us one?
Wouldn't the Spectre be a bit biased?
Wouldn't the Spectre be less biased than Eclipso, though?
Are Spectre and Eclipso the only two sources for an objective definition of evil?
Isn't there an argument for saying that since the Spectre gets up to all sorts of judgements that many would consider evil, that he's just as subjective as everyone else?
Wouldn't a person making that argument risk being changed into a mouse or something?
Shall we take this up with the higher power that created the Spectre?
Who created the Spectre?
Wasn't it Siegel and Shuster?
Does their partnership subvert commonly held belief systems built around dualism?
Does it have something to do with how early Superman killed people?
Did he actively kill them or just choose not to save them?
What's your judgment of these examples?
What if my firewall prevents me from looking at those examples?
Can you wait for a few hours and try accessing it from somewhere else?
Do I have the time for that?
Are you in a situation where you're concerned if Superman is going to save you or let you snuff it?
Can't another hero save Quis from certain death?
Who would be willing to face Superman?
Wouldn’t Batman do his best to stop Superman from killing?
Does Batman have enough time to prepare?
How much time is enough?
Wouldn't Batman join in, since he was fond of using a gun and letting villains die too?
Were any of the Golden Age heroes against killing at all?
Could we ask The Spectre once he's finished ensuring that car goes off the cliff?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 08/13/18 09:30 PM
Would Nabu know?
Can we get them into a committee so they can discuss?
What about the Justice Society as a title for their group?
Isn't that quite an original name?
Do you think they'll like it?
Has the Spectre tried to kill you in a painfully appropriate way yet?
Would inappropriate ways be any better?
What would be an inappropriate way for the Spectre to kill someone?
If the Spectre killed me in any way, would he be referred to as a nasty genie?
Would he be killing you because of a wish you made?
Isn't it often the interpretation of the wish rather than the spirit of the wish that is turned against the wish maker?
Does the SPectre go around granting wishes in general?
Does he live in a magic lamp?
Is it comfy? Can he host house parties?
Which question do you want me to answer?
Can’t you answer both?
Is this the answer 2 questions with a question thread?
Doesn’t the plurality of the word “questions” in the title imply a lack of limits to the number of questions that can be asked per post?
So would you answer all questions? Is there a limit to the number of questions one could ask? What if there is no one question with which to answer to all the questions?
Why would I answer all your questions when this thread is about asking them? Are you trying to confuse me? or are you trying to selectively apply thread rules?
Are you calling me a control freak?
Is that the only possible interpretation of my post?
Are you allowing others to answer that?
Could IB be the control freak?
Was the control freak also a batman villain or was that the film freak?
Wasn't there a Teen Titan cartoon villain who had that shtick?
Did you prefer Teen Titans Go or Batman: Brave and Bold?
Could it be that I’ve only watched one of them?
For those who haven't seen any of them, which would you recommend most?
Do you like a lot of different heroes in your cartoons?
Wouldn't that depend on the cartoon?
Are some cartoons better suited for a very large cast than others?
Would those cartoons be longer in duration because of the larger casts?
How many minutes of screen time should each cast member get per episode?
Does each cast member have to appear in every episode?
Doesn't every character have fans who will be tuning in just to see their favourite?
Isn't that a ratings gold mine?
Are ratings all that matter?
Doesn’t income matter too?
Couldn't society prosper without money?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful for us all to have everything we need without money?
What do we really need?
Have you ever seen Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?
Did Maslow have a mortgage?
Didn't Maslow manage to offset the need for mortgage repayments by coming up with a popular, but very flawed, unscientific pyramid diagram?
What is science, anyway?
Isn't it the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment?
Could you repeat that in a sentence with no more than 10 words?
Why does it have to be no more than 10 words?
Is there a shortage of pixels?
Isn't it just good and clear communication?
Can't sentences of more than ten words also have clarity?
Would a question such as this be an example of what you mean?
Could you give me another example of a clear sentence of over ten words for additional clarity please?
More words make for more clarity for you?
Doesn't that depend on the words and context?
What about your context?
Wouldn't the choice of language used to convey a sentence of over ten words also be a variable in determining the overall clarity of the text to the reader?
Are you bringing grammar into this discussion?
What do grandmothers have to do with this?
Would a grandmother perhaps object to some of the choice language used in a sentence of over ten words?
Do long sentences always have some choice words?
Do you often swear as part of the way you communicate?
Does my every utterance count as a binding oath?
Don't you want your instructions to be taken as gospel?
Am I starting my own religion?
Isn't there a lot of money in it?
Don't you think I have purer intentions than that?
Could you give an example of a purer intention?
Altruism?
Is that a trait that you're known for?
What am I known for?
Would you say that you're one of the world's biggest fans of Kole?
Am I only that?
Aren't you also a world traveler?
Would countries on 4 continents be enough to classify me as a world traveler?
What do you think qualifies someone to be a world traveler?
Would you have to travel between worlds or would that be a worlds traveller?
Wouldn't it be the second term?
And would that be the same even if it's technically the same world, just separated by a vibrational barrier that could be overcome by running fast?
Could you ask that again in a shorter sentence?
Would that be one with fewer than ten words by any chance?
Wouldn't a sentence of only 25 words be shorter than the one you wrote?
Didn't Ibby put up previous sentence restrictions that he would prefer?
Isn’t conciseness a measure of language fluency?
Are you saying that lawmakers and lawyers who use 1000 words instead of 20 have no language fluency?
Doesn't taking more time to get to the point simply increase their fee?
Does everything a lawyer or legislator do have to involve making money?
Would it be cheeky of me to ask if that isn't considered to be one of their better features? smile
Do you have huge cheeks like Dizzy Gillespie?
Should I take up the trumpet like he did?
How is your lung capacity?
Will it be hampered by my 20 a day habit?
Twenty what a day?
Posts, perhaps?
Only twenty?
Are you losing your touch?
Isn't it more of a bot program than a touch?
Would that explain your occasional misspellings and topical segues?
Am I the only one who misspells?
Are you also the only one who segues?
Is that a dance move?
Haven’t you seen it on YouTube?
Is you tube the place where I should go for all my big band favourites?
Is you tube a budget version of YouTube?
Are you paid by them to ensure that no other variation is used?
Wouldn’t that be a cushy job?
Does that mean you get a free cushion while you do it?
Wouldn't that be a great perk?
Wouldn't an unlimited expenses account be a better perk?
What would you do with one of those ?
How many almond slices is it safe to eat in a day?
Aren't you afraid of overdosing?
Isn't that why he's asking?
Could thoth actually be trying to overdose?
Why would I do that?
Could it be part of a convoluted plan with an unclear goal, much like many movie villains do?
If that were the case, wouldn't he be talking more?
Do you twiddle a 1920s villainous moustache clockwise or anticlockwise?
Is this Leia cat's role in thoth's life?
When did Princess Leia get a cat?
Isn't Leia the cat that rules over thoth?
Why does thoth lad have Princess Leia's cat?
Don't you recognize a familiar hairstyle whenever you look at thoth?
Does thoth lad have a Night Girl Beehive?
Are you saying he has both a beehive and those bun thingies on each ear?
Does one need side buns when one is rocking a beehive?
What if you could use the side buns to keep your ears warm in winter?
Isn’t it important to keep the ears warm?
But are the ears as important to keep warn as other extremities?
Would you rather have your ears fall off, or your toes?
Can I choose neither?
Would you under any circumstances consent to having a body part fall off?
Is the body part likely to elope if I don't give it my consent?
Who would your body part elope with?

Is the body part missing or does he know exactly where it is?

Did you remember to have that body part microchipped in case it gets lost?
Could you all check to see if you've got extras for all your body parts please?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 08/23/18 02:13 PM
Could you describe what an extra part would look like?
Wouldn’t an extra part look just like the original?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 08/23/18 02:51 PM
If that's true, then how would you know which is the extra one?
Wouldn't the extras be stored outside your body?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 08/23/18 03:26 PM
So would that finally explain those pouches the Legionnaires sported?
Could I cite Legionnaires 22 and 46 as issues which showed well why the Legionnaires wore those pouches?
Didn't you just?
Can I do it again?
Don't people prefer original material compared to reruns?
But why are there so many reboots and remakes and spin-offs, then?
Aren't they all just variations on an established theme?
would those still be considered original material then, as opposed to reruns?
Wouldn't a rerun just be a repeat where as a reboot/remake etc will contain different versions of the original?
Aren’t you good at defining things?
Shouldn't I leave that up to others to decide?
Wasn’t I giving you a low-key compliment?
Where have you put the real Ibby?!
Are you confused yet?
Does the "yet" mean that I didn't already come across as confused?
Doesn’t it indicate that your earlier post is indicative of your typical state?
Can't we all just say what we mean?
Is it easy to do that on a thread devoted to questions?
Will my words be blocked out by a swear filter?
What kind of oaths and profanity do you plan to say?
Aren't most swears spontaneous rather than planned?
Wouldn't it seem forced if I just listed them now?
Is this a good way of preempting swearing?
Don't you think swearing has its place in language?
What place is that?
Would the equivalent of the naughty corner be the best place?
Shouldn't naughty corners be disciplined?
Where do you send a naughty corner to stand?
Shouldn't we punish it by rounding it instead?
Isn't that against the Geneva Convention?
Should we send it to obedience school instead?
Is this thread about to go off on a tangent?
Are we visiting the Tangent Comics universe?
Can you recall any of the tangent characters?
Have I ever read a single Tangent comic before?
Have you made a list of all the things you've ever read so that we can check?
Can I have a couple of weeks to finish that list?
Will a couple of weeks be enough?
Do you really want the list to be complete?
Wouldn't it be easier just to give you a list of all the Tangent comics?
Wasn't thoth asking for a comprehensive list of everything I have ever read?
Isn't a list of everything going to make sure we capture any Tangent comics that Ibby may not have realised were Tangent comics?
Could you repeat that?
Isn't a list of everything going to make sure we capture any Tangent comics that Ibby may not have realised were Tangent comics?
Wouldn't the Tangent logo appear on the comics cover, thus making it very easy for me to recognize that a given comic was Tangent?
Did you know that retailers used to tear off the covers as part of the return programme?
Wouldn't that make it difficult to identify the issue number?
Can't you just read the indicia on the first page for that information?
How big is the font size of the indicia?
If it is too small, can't you use a magnifying glass?
Do you carry one around with you all the time?
Doesn't everybody?
um, no?
Are you saying that you don't carry a magnifying glass around with you all the time?
Why would I?
What if you needed to read something that was printed very small?
How often would that conceivably happen?
If you use your magnifying glass on a hot summer's day to read indicia, is there a danger of something catching fire?
Are you asking for a friend?
Could you pass me the fire extinguisher?
Are you thoth's friend or thoth's foe?
Can't she be both?
Could anyone be a foe of thoth?
Is there an anti-thoth?
Did the anti-thoth destroy the positive thoth?
Who do you think does all these posts?
Are you the anti-thoth then?
Wasn't my inability to post for long in the nice genie thread a big clue?
Doesn't the real thoth take great glee in thinking of horrible ways to have every wish end in painful death?
Isn't it important to make use of the skills you have?
Would you perhaps consider a post in interrogation and torture?
Wouldn't that be beneath his ethical standards?
Does thoth only delve into the more ethical post of psychologically torturing people with Nasty Genie wishes leading to their deaths?
Hasn't the Nasty Genie thread run its course?
Could it be because thoth has killed everyone who's made a wish there?
Has thoth killed me and I don't know it?
Could you be in the Sixth Sense?
Have you met Lyle Norg recently?
Isn’t he sort of my alternate universe counterpart ?
Does he have loads of extra superpowers too? smile
Wasn't he the unlucky counterpart who didn't win the super-power lottery? smile
Would you take a punch in the face if it meant you would win the lottery?
How much would I win?
With some lotteries, doesn't that depend on how many play?
Could you give me a figure so I can decide if I'm willing to get hit on the head?
What is the lowest amount you would take to get punched in the face?
Who will be doing the punching?
Would you prefer Mike Tyson or Ruth Bader-Ginsberg?
Can Ruth Bader-Ginsberg wear fluffly feathery gloves when she punches me?
Wouldn't she just be tickling you?
Do you know how many people have died from a Ruth Bader-Ginsberg tickling?
Isn't there a constitutional amendment preventing that?
Why isn’t it more well-publicized?
Could it be a conspiracy of the shadow government?
Do they want to tickle us all to death?
Should we organise a march for the banning of government sanctioned tickling?
Can you get a permit?
Would the government allow us to get a permit for a march that would uncover their secret tickling regime?
Can you get a permit for something else?
Would a permit for something else allow us to do what we want to do?
How good are you at lying without lying?
Can one lie without lying?
Isn't it called lying by omission?
But it is still lying, isn't it?
Am I saying it's not?
Didn't you start this by talking about lying without lying?
How strict are you about defining things?
Is the lack of strictness not an invitation to anarchy sweeping across Legion World?
Where do we draw the line between freedom and anarchy?
If I told you where to draw the line would I not be infringing your line drawing freedoms?
Could I take it as a suggestion?
Do you take suggestions well?
Doesn't it matter how the suggestions are made?
If I'm polite will you be fine, regardless of what the message is?
Do we still have the understanding that I'm not obligated to follow your advice?
Could you make sure you answer this question with another question, just to show that you are obligated to follow my advice?
Is questioning an obligation now?
Don't you think that pretty much confirms that you will now follow advice from other posters?

Have you actually given any advice yet?
Haven't you been living your life by my inspiring posts?
Inspiring me to embrace death you mean?
Could you be reading the wrong posts?
Don't those posts Ibby is attributing to me sound awfully gloomy?
Would you care to judge them for yourselves?

Doesn't Blockade Boy also agree with me as to the gloominess of thoth's wish-granting?
Aren't you mistaking gloominess for nasty genieness which is the point of that thread?
Weren’t we asking for some light-hearted Silver Age style shenanigans mixed in with the constant depressing barrage of nasty deaths, as the point of the thread is using unexpected consequences to ruin wishes instead of simply murdering all players?
Isn't taking on the fun of Mask Man accomplishing those Silver Age goals?
Isn’t this good evidence for committing thothy to an asylum?
Do you think I'd enjoy it there?
Isn't there one thing you might enjoy there?
What if we gave thothy a robotic, self-regenerating cellmate that repairs itself form destruction and is programmed to ask for wishes?
Do you really think that would be a selling point for a stay in an asylum?
Wouldn’t that allow thoth to murder people endlessly by misinterpreting their wishes without having any lasting consequences?
Is that what thoth really wants or does he just want a hug?
Can I hug him without getting killed?
Have you taken away all his weapons?
Considering that Ibby still hasn't recovered from the nasty genie thread, are some weapons more psychological than physical?
Is this more proof, including his random mentions of Kole's death in threads, that thoth is rather sadistic?
Don't I mention Kole in positive ways to keep the memory of her alive?
Don't your mentions typically make me *sob*?
Aren't those tears of happiness at reliving your favourite Kole memories?
Do tears only come from joy?
What kind of twisted, sad world do you have where tears aren't shed only for joy?
The real world????
You don't want to live there do you?
As if I can escape it ?
Isn't death the ultimate escape from the real world?
Is it an escape if there's nothing on the other side of it?
Is oblivion nothing?
Don’t some people wish for oblivion?
Do you think that they are wrong for that?
What kind of ice cream do they sell in oblivion?
Are we talking about the Oblivion Bar, headquarters of the Shadowpact?
Who is in the Shadowpact?
How many members do you want to learn about?
How many are there?
Can I have a minute to count?
Is it really going to take you a minute to look up on Wikipedia that there were 8 members?
Have you any idea how slow Internet connections can be in some countries?
Are they of poor quality?
The countries or the internet access?
Aren’t there indexes for both?
Is there a direct correlation between poor quality countries and poor quality internet access?
Could you run the statistics?
Can't you prove anything you want using statistics?
But how much falsifying would we tolerate?
Shouldn't we have a zero tolerance approach to falsifying?
Would you like to be the Monitor for that?
Does that mean I die before half way through enforcing zero tolerance, betrayed by someone with the power to create multiple versions of themselves, not that we know anyone like that...?
How could you even imply that the LMB's very own Harbinger would do something like that?
Is the LMB's Harbinger the only LMBer with powers of duplication?
Why don't you go Monitor the LMB Roll Calls to find out?
Where would I find those?
Haven’t you ever done Monitor Duty before?
Was there a rota where I was supposed to have done it?
Have you been reading your memos?
Where was I supposed to find these memos?
Haven’t you been listening during meetings?
Are you kidding me that you guys have been having meetings about memos and rotas?
How would you know if I were kidding, when you haven't been attending meetings or reading your mail?
Couldn't the tone and inflection of your voice be a give away to your intentions?
Aren't there some people who can control their voices very well?
Do Tyroc and Black Canary give lessons in voice control?
Do they compete against Songbird?
Who did Simon Cowell vote off?
Who do you think would disappoint him the most?
Does anyone really knows what will disappoint Simon Cowell?
Is he that unpredictable?
Is he predictably a bit of a tool?
Is that your opinion:?
Don't you appreciate thoth's opinion?
Who would not?
What is someone doesn't like the opinion?
Couldn't we just open a debate?
How many ways should the debate go?
Should we pick a moderator to decide all of these questions?
Can one of our forum moderators also moderate a debate?
Who moderates the moderators?
The same person watching them?
Isn't it The Administrator who moderates the moderators?
How many Administrators do we have?
Will that information be on the Users List?
Can you look it up?
Where else could it be if I can't see it on the Users List?
Haven't you gotten the memo about where? smile
Haven't we established that I'd have to be invited to the LW meetings if I'm ever to see a memo?
Isn’t the invitation in a memo sent to you?
Have you read catch 22?
Would my answer be an example of the title?
In what way would it be?
Can you think of reasons why either answer would be bad for thoth?
Is a Catch-22 really just about 2 bad answers or is it about a paradoxal situation?
Can you think of a paradox that would be bad for thoth either way?
What will happen if I can't?
Will our universe cease to exist?
Hasn't science already determined that it will?
Will this cessation hasten if you don’t think of something?
Do I really have the power to hasten the end of the universe?
Shouldn't you use that power responsibly?
Are you saying that I am not responsible?
Does reminding you to do something mean that I think you won't do it?
Or could it just mean that it is very important to you that it gets done?
Isn't it a very important thing?
Doesn't that depend upon the job and what you think is important?
Won't KPIs explain what's important?
What's "KPI"?
Haven't you heard of Key Performance Indicators?
Have Key Performance Indicators heard of us?
Weren't they Xanthu's Super-hero team?
Didn't they always win Just In Time?
Was Justin Time one of their members?
Was Justin Time named after Justin Case?
Are they related to Justin Love?
How many Justins do we know?
Does Justin Thyme count? Timberlake? Trudeau? Beiber?
How about Sir Justin, the Shining Knight?
Does Ystina, the other Shining Knight, also count?
Which one do you prefer as the Shining Knight?
Wouldn't the true concept of gender equalitymean I don't have a preference, considering I am not familiar with their individual skills or talent?
Did you not read the Seven Soldiers mini series?
Should I have?
Are you generally a reader of Morrison's work?
Do I want to destroy my mind that badly?
How badly do you want to destroy your mind?
Should I reconsider wanting to destroy it?
Why are you second guessing yourself?
Will destroying my mind really eliminate all the pain of human existence from my life?
Don't they say that ignorance is bliss?
Wouldn’t being brain-dead go beyond ignorance?
Could the removal of self while still being alive be the ultimate attainment of bliss?
But won’t that bliss be fleeting, for the micro second where I have achieved my objective and can enjoy it before I cease to exist?
Would you care about being blissful if you didn't exist?
Who said that you wouldn't still exist?
Dare I risk it?
Isn't it 'armless?
Have you morphed into John Constantine?
Did you know that Morph was a little character made out of plasticine for a kid's show in the UK?
Is this the Morph from the X-Men?
Do you think someone somewhere has named their kid "Morph"?
On purpose or because of a misspelling?
What would Morph be a mis-spelling of?
Mort? Morty? Marv?
Do you know or are you just throwing out names?
If I knew the answer, would I have thrown out more than one name?
You weren't trying to confuse me?
Why would I?
Would asking a confused question not still count for the purposes of this thread?
Isn’t anything phrased as a question automatically correct?
Could you just be asking for confirmation on something that is clearly right?
Like a rhetorical question?
Is there a rule that rhetorical questions can't be answered?
On this thread, or in general?
Can't you answer for either case?
Can I have some time to think about it?
How much time do you need?
Could you give me a week?
Can only Trappers give time?
Can’t Trappers take time too?
Do they take more than they give?
Like most big corporations?
Do big corporations have time manipulation powers?
Could that have helped them consolidate their power ages ago?
Is that an example of why no human should be trusted with time travel technology?
Were the Reboot United Planets correct in banning time travel research?
Could we go forward in time and see how that turned out?
Will we become Legion World fugitives by contravening the UP?
If we have time travel, can they find us without breaking their own laws?
How do they stop time crooks?
Won't they figure that out in the future and then they can go back and stop them before they start?
Would that merely create multiple alternate timelines instead?
Do you have something against multiple alternative timelines?
Should we allow people to choose which timeline they want to live in?
Can we allow certain timelines to become unpopulated because everyone in them would prefer to be somewhere else?
The timeline would still exist, wouldn’t it?
If you had to trim some timelines as part of an Event, would you be more likely to pick unpopulated ones instead of ones full of people?
Are we asking this from the point of view of the villain, the hero, or the writer?
If you had a choice, which one of those three would you rather be?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Would that come with people hunting you down to find your secret ID?
Do I have one?
Don't you fear that having no secret ID will bring unwanted attention to your friends and family?
Could it be that i’m being stalked right now because of my activity on Legion world?
Is that something that could happen to the rest of us?
Are we all now being hunted individually because of our message board affiliation?
Is the hunter our evil mirror universe counterpart?
Are those counterparts trying to kill us in order to be unique?
Do they need a reason other than the fact that they are evil?
Is it like Margaret Robinson from the Amazing World of Gumball, who was simply born evil?
Won't being just generically evil affect their long term infamy?
Isn't Satan just generically evil and yet a long lasting infamous character?
Isn't he a representation from a older myth cycle and can be part of a more truly dualistic theological base?
Aren't you worried that devout Christians will destroy you for calling Satan a myth?
Shouldn't they turn the other cheek if they're christians?
Which cheek are you talking about?
Would it depend on how tall the slapping person is?
Couldn't a short slapping person use a stool?
Would the person being slapped stand still long enough for the stool to be set up?
Wouldn't you be curious as to why this short person was putting a stool in front of you?
Is it decent to be talking about peoples stools?
Don't you want to see my finely crafted stool?
Should I bring gloves?
Weren't you only supposed to see it, not touch it?
Why limit the other senses?
Shall we try to become one with the universe?
You mean I am not already one with the universe?
Can the universe anticipate your thoughts and complete your sentences?
Is that the only way to tell if a person is one with the universe?
What other ways are there?
Has Morrison appropriated you from the Silver Age and made you a sentient universe?
Should I be worried that Morrison will endlessly deconstruct me, and that I will only appear in stories as a one-shot deus ex machina where I explode and destroy everything?
Why would that worry you?
Do I have performance anxiety?
Wouldn't you know that yourself?
What if Ibby is like a Egyptian swimmer; in denial?
Can’t I be tanned and fit instead?
Do you want the hassle of maintaining a tan and fitness?
Isn't there a magic pill for that?
Where would I get such a pill?
Should you invest in research and development and hire some of the world's top scientists in order to create it?
Wouldn't it be easier for him to just ask his doctor or pharmacist?
But does such a pill already exist?
Wouldn't your doctor or pharmacist know that?
What if one exists in secret?
Do you really think that a secret such as that can be maintained?
If only one person knows it exist, wouldn’t it remain a good secret?
Who would be able to keep such a secret?
Someone who hates speaking?
Posted By: Catonyx Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 09/28/18 11:34 PM
Are we sure it's hate or something else?
uh... fear?
Is the Black Bolt the keeper of The Secret?
Wouldn’t he be a great keeper? Better than Peter Pettigrew?
Wouldn't a dead person be the best secret keeper?
Is that wise considering the number of reboots that could bring that character back at any time?
Wasn’t Blackest Night supposed to stop endless character resurrections?
Is that wise considering the number of reboots that could bring that character back at any time?
Wasn't your account erased during Super-Duper Secret Almost Infinite Crisis II?
Did that occur before or after Super Secret Wars XXIV?
Didn’t Secret Wars XXV cancel our XXIV?
How secret is Secret Wars if it's being talked about?
Could Marvel heroes be incurable gossips?
Is there no hope of us finding a cure for gossiping?
Shall we all just isolate ourselves, never communicating with a living being ever again?
Wasn't that part of the premise of the threeboot?
But didn't the Threeboot still show families living together in the same space, meaning they weren't completely isolated?
Could they have felt lonely and isolated inside?
Is that why Threeboot Ultra Boy was such a jerk?
Is it only the threeboot version that is like that?
Wasn’t Reboot Ultra Boy more a gangster with a heart of gold, and 5YL Jo had such hidden depths that he was almost a Gary Sue who could do anything?
Was there anything v4 Ultra Boy couldn't do?
Make women stop hitting on him?
Wouldn't they break their hands hitting his invulnerable body?
Didn’t Spider-Girl get around that by using her hair?
Isn't Spider Girl more of a hair today, gone tomorrow sort of person, rather than one who is looking to settle down with Jo?
Wasn’t that true of the 5YL version, but not true of the Reboot version whom Jo broke up with unceremoniously to pursue Apparition?
Was Spider Girl from Rimbor in the Reboot?
Didn’t she and Jo meet in the Workforce?
Did Marla Latham appear in the reboot to take Jo into the Leigon?
Do you think everything in the Reboot happened as it did in the Preboot?
Aren't most of the cast close approximations of the preboot?
Sensor?
What about Sensor?
Is she a close approximation of the Reboot?
What does Legion Worlder Reboot have to do with Sensor?
Doesn’t he like the reality she was introduced in?
Weren't you the one who brought him up?
Was it me?
What have you been eating if you're bringing up Sensor?
Why does Sensor trigger images of food in your mind?
Would you like one of my spare mice for breakfast?
Will you have enough left?
Don't a lot of people keep a little extra in case of surprise guests?
How many of your guests eat mice?
Do you mean the ones that I know of?
Do you also serve mice?
Do they have a reservation?
Reservations about the menu or about the prices?
Could it be for the whole place?
Do we serve fish?
Is this an underwater restaurant?
Like in the Maldives?
Are the Maldives the only place that has an underwater restaurant?
Are Atlantean restaurantss Mechelin rated?
Don't the Michelin people have someone who could rate those restaurants?
Don't they always find the soup a little thin?
What if the soup is extremely thick?
How thick does a soup have to be so as not to be thinned by millions of gallons of water?
Is it always a good thing to be very thick?
What if you are a philosophy student?
Are philosophers thick?
Do you want a thick philosopher or one who can think?
Would you rather a thin-skinned one?
Would I have to wear an extra jumper in cold weather, if I was thin skinned?
Would that help stop the light from piercing your thin skin?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 10/10/18 02:23 AM
Is your thin skin transparent to others?
What sort of sunscreen would someone with transparent skin need?
Inertron and lead shielding?
Isn't that a little too heavy to carry around all the time?
Could we figure out a way to make those metals lighter, while retaining the durability?
Could we spend our research dollars on something more practical like a working flight ring?
Would that need to come with a transuit, so we could fly without getting frozen or asphyxiated?
Do you plan to fly into outer space?
Wouldn’t I also feel cold just flying up to very tall buildings?
Wouldn't a cape keep you as warm as a trans-suit?
Would a cape also produce its own atmosphere and not get me sucked into a jet engine?
Do you want everything?
Why not?
Do you really want 45 metric tons of garbage?
What does that have to do with flying using a transuit?
Isn't 45 metric tons of garbage part of the everything you want?
Isn;'t the everything I want simply to be able to fly safely and comfortably?
But is being able to fly safely and comfortably everything?
Are you offering me the choice of other super-powers?
Does Quis have the power to bestow other super-powers?
Can he bestow them on himself?
Who says that I haven't?
Is that why you’ve been acting strange lately?
Who's acting?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 10/23/18 02:18 PM
Are you emoting again?
Can Quis be any more dramatic?
Are you questioning my acting skills?
Have you won an Oscar yet?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 10/23/18 05:20 PM
Where is the Tony award as well?
Isn't Quis too avant-garde for such baubles?
Can I be Art Deco instead?
Do you want to be the villain out of Zot! ?
Why do you want Quis to be a villain?
Wouldn't he make a dazzling villain?
Could you bear to look at him considering how bright he is?
How did you know about my secret bear transformations?
Weren’t the growls and fur a clue?
Or was it his craving for salmon and blueberries?
Would you consider that a good flavor combination?
Doesn't lemon and chocolate make a better flavor combination?
Than orange and chocolate?
Won't it really depend on individual tastes?
Are you doubting my sense of taste?
Is it better than other people's tastes?
Which other people are you comparing me to?
Which comparison group matters to you?
Would you say your taste is better and any other person's taste?
Do you mean "better than any other person's taste"?
Did I mistype my earlier post?
Is that likely?
Can we check the transcripts?
Who transcribes our transcripts?
Don’t we have robot typists?
Are they Supergirl robot typists?
Aren’t they less likely to go on a rampage than the Superman robots?
Does that depend on how long they're stuck in orphanages, learning typing skills while waiting to be used as the secret weapons of Superman robots?
Don’t they have to go train with the Amazons as well?
How do the Amazons balance their typing/bondage work regime?
Should we ask Wonder Woman?
Isn't she a bit tied up at the moment?
Is it consensual?
Could you remove her gag and we can find out?
She won’t bite me in anger?
Have you heard of Wonder Woman biting anyone?
Does her bite confer superpowers?
Is she radioactive?
Do you need a light when you are in bed with Wonder Woman and are trying to read a novel?
Why would I be in bed with her?
Wouldn't she rather you watched the late night shows with her than read?
Does she prefer Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert?
Wouldn't she prefer something from nearer her home country?
Where is her home country located anyway?
From the movie can't we figure out that it is a night's sailing from London?
Is Sailing Rod Stewart's most successful single?
Had anyone here ever been to a regatta?
Do you have any idea how boring they are if you don't sail?
What events are more enjoyable to be a spectator of than a participant in?
Bull-fighting? Walking on hot coals? Fighting the Sun-Eater or the Fatal Five?
Don't you fancy your chances against the fatal five with your Invisible Brainiac Powers?
Are we placing bets?
Can I have 5-1 on the Fatal Five please?
How did you get those odds?
Aren't odd things common around here?
Do the odd things get along well with the uncanny and eldritch things?
Doesn't that depend on the astrological charts?
Aren't the stars right yet?
Which stars need to align?
Can't you just move until they are aligned?
Have you picked a good hiding place from the Cult of the Old Ones, following your alignment suggestions?
They haven't found me yet, have they?
Can they find you by tracking you online?
Are the Cult of the Old Ones computer proficient?
Dont they have New Ones to supplement them?
Would the Old Ones even trust the New Ones?
Can't the New Ones stage a coup when the Old Ones have dinner at 4:30?
Why do the Old Ones have dinner so early?
Could it be because they are frugal and take advantage of the early bird dinner specials?
Or do they just plan for a second supper at 9 pm?
Shouldn't we feel sorry for the early bird that turns up only to be eaten by diners arriving after it?
Wouldn't the early birds be able to get away if they hadn't gorged themselves on worms?
Is that why all the good restaurants have early worm specials?
Aren't worms a good source of protein?
Would you eat them?
Haven't I already eaten worms several times?
Was this when you were a toddler?
Could I have done it at several different points in my life?
Which points would those be?
Do worm eating utensils have to have points, or can they be spoon shaped?
Wouldn't you only use a spoon for worm soup?
Wouldn’t a straw work too?
How wide would your straw have to be to ensure that the worms don't get stuck?
How about the same diameter as the straws used in bubble tea?
Do you have bubble tea that you aren't sharing with the rest of us?
What flavor would you like?
What flavours are available?
Would you like to see the menu?
Posted By: Jfposey Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 10/31/18 12:21 AM
Do you have any specials that are not on the menu?
What kind of specials would you like?
Do you have any really special specials?
Would an ordinary special be an oxymoron?
Would it be less expensive?
How expensive are oxymorons?
More expensive than metaphors?
Is that a rhetorical question?
Weren't we going shopping together?
What are we shopping for?
Is it too late to shop for a Halloween costume?
Are you wanting to buy one cheap for next Halloween?
Isn’t that financially responsible?
What if you put it away, forget about it, and buy another one next October?
I could use it next next year?
Couldn't you just wear it on weekends?
Can't he also wear it to work?
What kind of workplace do you think I have?
Isn't it an accepting and fun-loving place of business?
How do you rate it on the formality scale?
Does that imply there is an informality scale?
Why wouldn’t there be?
Is the informality scale logarithmic?
Wouldn't it be more touchy-feely?
Does it require physical touch?
Have you given consent to be touched?
Was that part of his employment contract?
Shouldn't it be in all employment contract?
What if it’s not?
Can you renegotiate your contract?
What does the fine print say?
Have you seen my reading glasses anywhere?
Aren’t they on your forehead?
Why should we have to accept fine print anyways?
Where can I get near mint print?
Why settle for only near?
What if I refuse to settle?
Will you fight until the end?
Until the end of what?
Are you both fighting until the end of the same thing?
Why are Invisible Brainiac and I fighting?
Shouldn't you have asked that before the start of the duel?
Or perhaps Quis’ fighting spirit got the better of him?
Don't you know no one and nothing gets the better of me?
Are you the best there is at what you do, while saying "bub" a lot?
Is he also short and hairy?
Are you suggesting he's a hedgehog?
Is he also blue and very fast?
Does being blue indicate that one is very fast?
Isn’t it only an indication for hedgehogs?
Should we ask a biologist?
Isn't Fastback the Turtle also blue and fast?
Isn't that just his costume?
Has he really been naked all this time?
Are you saying that Sonic is running around naked?
Aren't most anthropomorphic animals nudists at heart?
Wouldn't they be more likely to be atria and ventricles at heart?
Must you be so literal?
Would you prefer it if I posted more figuratively?
Should you maybe add a sketch to your post?
Could he just grab an image off the internet?
Wouldn't he be at risk of committing copyright infringement?
Do you think he is not going to cite the source?
Does he know APA style?
Do all citations have to be APA style?
Can you suggest another style besides it?
Can't he just write "So-and-so did this."?
Wouldn't it be easier, and therefore unrealistic?
Why is easier unrealistic?
Isn’t it because nothing in life is easy?
Don't they say that dying is easy?
Have you tried it?
Don't you sample death every time you go to sleep?
Is it really the same thing?
How could we prove or disprove that?
Isn't that just one of the unsolvable mysteries of the universe?
What if someone solves it one day?
Won't I be proven wrong then?
Will that make you sad?
Or will you be happy just to know the answer?
How will I know if I’m truly happy?
Could you try clapping your hands?
What if is was a one-armed man?
Could you clap your hand on a part of your body?
Would you be cautious in telling people you're trying to give yourself the clap?
Are you trying to score some penicillin?
Isn’t it a valuable resource?
Is it more valuable than platinum?
Would Doc Magnus say so?
Isn't Platinum a romantic interest for him?
Wasn't that a one sided romance?
Which incarnation are we thinking about here?
How did others react when they were reincarnated?
Can a robot be reincarnated?
Can anything be reincarnated?
What is life?
Doesn't that depend on the judicial parameters of the country carrying out the sentence?
Doesn't the definition of life regulate more than just punishments?
Doesn't the crime determine whether the punishment is just?
What if the judicial system isn't well-designed?
Could a poorly designed judicial system still be just?
Who is designing our judicial system?
Wasn’t it designed more than 200 years ago?
Isn't time an illusion?
According to Projectra, aren’t distance and leadership illusions too?
Is the LMB an... >gasp<... illusion?
Am I just a brain in a jar?
Could you be a brain in a cool floating globe instead?
Does the cool floating globe cost more?
Would you like to join the Brain Globes of Rambat?
Are they having a membership drive?
Do I get a tote bag for joining?
How would you carry it if you're a Brain Globe?
Don't Brain Globes have telekinetic powers?
Is that a prerequisite for any brain wanting to join them?
Don't you have to be from Rambat?
Is it possible to get naturalized citizenship?
Why are the Brian Globes were so elitists about membership?
Isn't it because their whole motivation is the preservation of their race after their own planet became uninhabitable?
Brian’s planet is uninhabitable?
Pov is a Martian, isn't he?
Does he hang out with J'Onn J'Onnz and Marvin the Martian?
Are J'Onn and Marvin on speaking terms?
Didn't they meet in one of those DC/Looney Tunes specials a while back?
In that special, doesn't J'onn just use his telepathy rather than speaking?
Might I have to read it again to be sure?
Weren't you planning to re-read it for pure pleasure?
What would be your favourite comic to read for pure pleasure?
Do I have to have a favorite or can I have more than one?
Why don't you just list some of your favourites?
Do you want the whole list or just the top 500?
Could you start off with the top 500 please?
Why stop at 500?
Might people be bored by number 499?
Doesn't that put pressure on number 500?
Won't the earlier numbers be worried about keeping reader attention?
Could that mean the numbering could shift?
Will 1+1 still equal 3?
Did it before?
Was it before math was invented?
Doesn't maths underpin the universe, even before man?
But man didn’t comprehend maths from the beginning, right?
Do you mean from when a man is an infant?
Could there be an alternative interpretation that considers our ability to preserve and transfer knowledge through the generations?
Could you repeat that in English?
Old, Middle, or Modern?
Can you do all three at once?
Is HWW a Carggite?
Wouldn't you like to know? smile
Wouldn’t I?
What wouldn't you do for the right price?
Don’t I have standards?
But are they high or low standards?
By what measure do you measure a standard?
Can't standards be subjective?
Should we find another word for standards if that's true?
What other word do you suggest?
Could you lend me a synonym dictionary?
Would a link to an on-line thesaurus be OK?
Does FC prefer paper to the cloud?
Which type of cloud, Cumulus or Cirrus?
Are we going to have a general chat about meteorology or a cirrus one?
Is that the best pun you can come up with?
How would you compare this to thoth's other puns?
Should we rate for wittiness or groanability?
Are they opposite ends of the same scale? Strike that question. New question:

Should we pause to sing Happy Birthday, Dear Quislet?
Isn’t it an especially good time to sing that?
Would it be appropriate to sing in on a day that isn't my birthday?
With a different song, you mean?
What songs do you know?
Shall I list them all down for you?
Can you just sing them all?
How much time do you have?
How much time do you need?
Isn't that kind of open-ended?
How so, given that IB knows how many songs he knows and how long it will take to sing them all?
Wouldn't it take time for me to list all these songs that I know, and to check how long each one is, then to add the total minutes?
Why don't you just start singing and we can time them as you go?
Doe he need a band?
Wouldn't a full orchestra be better?
How about two?
Aren't you being a little bit greedy asking for 2?
Won't it keep more hard working musicians in work over the holiday period?
Isn't it a good way to spread the riches around?
Just whose riches are we talking about?
The ones Robin Hood steals from the rich to give to the poor?
Isn't Robin Hood hiding out in Switzerland?
Are you thinking about his shooting buddy William Tell?
Are we sure they're different people? Has nobody ever seen them together?
Which question should I answer?
Can’t you answer them all?
Can we just start queuing questions here for Quis to answer?
Isn't there a thread for that already?
Which thread is that?
Have all the questions on that thread been answered?
Which thread is that?
Is that the thread from the loom of fate?
Who weaves on the loom of fate?
Isn’t it the three Fates?
Do they weave or do they just spin, measure, and cut?
Should we ask Roger Chapman?
Do you have his phone number?
Fixed line or mobile?
Would it be easier to email him then?
Or could we contact his publicist?
Do we have his publicist's contact information?
How about his secretary?
Whose secretary, Mr. Chapman's or his publicist's?
Should we just forget about Chapman and company?
Does chapman have chapped lips?
Isn't Chapman the chapped lipped, chaps wearing, chap who writes chapbooks for chaps?
Aren't you thinking of Cartman?
Can a person wear carts?
Can't a strong person do that comfortably?
Would cart wearing meet the dress code of many fine eating establishments?
Don't you have a fine formal cart to wear?
Is there a shop where I could hire a cart to wear for the evening?
Aren't carts more of a daywear rather than eveningwear?
Is it because they are meant to be worn at the beach?
Don't you always go to the nudist beach?
Even in winter?
Isn't it an Australian tradition to celebrate Christmas at the beach?
Define tradition?
What does it mean for you?
Do I have my own definition for it?
Don't you know?
Does IB have amnesia?
Who am I?
Who would you like to be?
Can I be anyone I want?
Why restrict yourself?
Can I be a 6'4 tall albino with eleven toes?
Didn't you want a change?
Is all change good?
How long should one wait to evaluate whether a change was good or bad?
Can a change that was originally a good change become a bad change over time?
Could the short term positive value of the change outweigh the longterm negative value?
What if there was a short term negative value of the change with a long term positive value?
What's the net effect?
Shouldn't we also be interested in the gross effect of such a change?
How could we possibly measure that?
Do you think a tape measure would work?
If it’s a gross effect shouldn’t we use a weighing scale?
Isn't it subjective whether something is gross or not?
Isn't it related to the net effect?
How fine of a net is it?
Should we all try on different fishnets and pick the best ones?
Are you just a sweet transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania?
Isn't it Rocky in Transylvania?
Rocky is in Romania?
Which Rocky are we talking about?
Could they all be at a Rocky Reunion?
Is that on Rocky Road?
Is that a place or a flavour?
Can't it be both?
Must it be both?
Does it have to be anything?
Can it be nothing?
Do we have a "Benefits of Nihilism" thread?
Didn't everyone think it was meaningless to start one?
Is anything truly meaningless?
Isn't the inane one word post thread meaningless?
Am I the only one using it for therapeutic word association?
Does it help you deal with your inner demons a bit more?
Do you think that one day I'll be allowed back into the community?
Will you try to return as a rhyming demon?
Will me being a rhyming demon allow for a seamless reintegration into mainstream society?
Won't it push you further away from society and more into Hell?
Wasn't it your idea for me to try being a rhyming demon in the first place?
Was that really such a bad idea?
Do you want him to start asking questions that rhyme?
Wouldn't that be fun if it can be done?
Did you rhyme on purpose?
Would you like to know if that was so?
How would that benefit me?
Isn't knowledge beneficial?
If knowledge is beneficial, why is ignorance bliss?
Aren't beneficial and bliss two different things like knowledge and ignorance?
Isn't beneficence a series of steps on the pathway to bliss?
Have you checked the map?
The one in Google maps?
Is that map different from other maps showing the same thing?
Have you even seen those maps of the world where south is on the top and north is on the bottom?
Are those different from the maps where land at the poles looks larger than they should be, while land closer to the equator looks smaller?
Are the lands larger when the map is closer, yet oddly smaller when the map is moved further away?
But do the lands change size to the same degree?
If the temperature rises by enough degrees, won't they expand?
Won’t they shrink because much of them will be underwater?
Won't the water evaporate in the high temperatures?
Are you one of those flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers we hear so much about?
Are you saying there are others that share my firmly held (because they're right) beliefs?
Are you proving that we should shoot you into the Sun along with all those other people?
Wouldn't anything we shoot into the sun disintegrate before it reached the sun?
Isn't it a fitting end for people like that?
Wouldn't it be more fitting for them to see the error of their ways?
But how can they be convinced?
Why not take all the people who want to shoot other people into the sun on an ironic one way trip to the sun, taking pictures along the way that show the Earth as spherical?
Would the flat-earthers be convinced if they didn't see things with their own eyes?
Didn't Bugs Bunny help prove the world was round by throwing a baseball around the world and it coming back with all sorts of travel stickers?
Why does that sound super familiar?
Could it be because you once saw this cartoon?
Why is it so funny?
Isn’t humor subjective?
Is it funny for you?
Humor in general or that cartoon in particular?
Will you have different answers?
Aren't they different questions?
But couldn't they still have the same answer?
Is it very likely that different questions would have the same answer?
Doesn’t it depend on how related the questions are?
Wouldn't the answers still be slightly different no matter how related the questions are?
What degree of difference would we see?
Wouldn't a degree of 0.000000000000000001% still result in different answers?
Would the differences be so slight as to be accounted for as different speech patterns and mannerisms?
How important would those be?
What is truly important?
For me?
Why not you?
Why me?
Aren't you a person whose opinions matter?
Don't all our opinions matter, except for the extremely daft ones?
How do we know which ones are daft?
Wouldn't Daft Punk know?
Might they be too daft to know?
Is their name really that descriptive?
Could they be too Punk to want to be involved in deciding how to label and constrain anyone as daft?
Is it possible to be both punkish and daft at the same time?
Aren't all things possible?
Is it possible for you to suddenly sprout wings and a tail?
How do you know that I haven’t?
Isn't this the age of surveillance?
Are you a peeping thoth?
Didn't they tell you that you were on reality TV?
You mean this scripted thing?
What is being lost in the editing?
How badly would you like to know?
Can we just assume that I already know?
Do you know everything?
Doesn't he always say that?
Do I?
Why don’t you know?
By asking if I know everything, aren’t I admitting that I don’t?
Would it be a bad thing to admit?
Can I plead the 5th on the grounds that I may incriminate myself?
What penalty are you afraid of?
What penalty would be too much for Quis?
Doesn't Quis have super penalty-resistance powers?
He’s never been penalized?
Do I look like a hockey player?
Aren’t you Wayne Gretzky?
Aren't we all just alts of Nightcrawler?
Does that apply to the IDs on Legion World, or is *everyone* an alt of Nightcrawler?
Could Nightcrawler just be a brain in a jar imagining all of this?
When is a door not a door?
When is a message board more than just a message board?
Are you saying, like Freud, that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar?
Is a cigar ever a jar?
Can only a door be a jar?
Did Life Lass or Kinetix use their powers on it? Kinetix LifeLass
Why would they do that?
Is it out of character for them?
Didn't Kinetix smoke sacred cigars?
Is smoking safe to do in the 31st century?
Haven't they invented a new form of tobacco without the nasty side effects yet?
Posted By: stile86 Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 01/30/19 04:55 AM
Haven't they invented something better than tobacco?
which century are we talking about?
Wouldn’t the dating system have changed after World War III?
When was World War III again?
Would it wreck your day if I said 2019 - 2019?
Are any countries going to be sitting it out?
Should we fear the army of Monaco?
Compared to the army of Nauru?
Isn’t that like comparing Red Delicious to Macintosh?
How so?
Do they grow apples on Nauru?
Do they have enough space for an apple orchard?
How small do you think Nauru is?
Won’t the Wikipedia entry for Nauru tell us?
Haven't you checked it yet?
Why do you think that I have not?
Why should I think that you have?
Doesn't it seem like something that I would do?
Aren't you more unpredictable than that?
Would that be like when I am answering Do You Know the Way to San Jose a question and randomly insert a song title?
Why did I think of Quis as Bugs Bunny instead?
Isn’t it better to be Bugs Bunny than Elmer Fudd?
What do you have against bald, raspy-voiced men?
Could he just prefer big floppy ears?
If my ears are big and floppy enough, will they act like wings letting me fly?
Are you holding a black feather in your appendage?
Do I really need a placebo?
Are you sick?
What did the doctors at the asylum say?
Posted By: stile86 Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 02/03/19 11:32 PM
Where can we read their reports?
Is one of Quis’ doctors Harleen Quinzel?
Does she follow confidentiality guidelines?
Does being a villain mean that she is not ethical?
Do all villains follow the same evil code?
Don't some villains only rob people and stop short of killing?
But isn't that only some, rather than all?
Aren't we talking only about Harley Quinn?
Why are we talking about this over-exposed character?
Are you not a fan?
Is it okay to like her because she likes animals?
Is it okay to dislike her because she is everywhere?
Is that the only reason to dislike her?
What other reasons can you name?
Wouldn't you dislike her if she bonked you on the head with her giant mallet?
Did she do that to you?
Did I say that I disliked Harley Quinn?
Would you dislike her if she did that to you?
What is it about Harley that you dislike so much?
Did I say I dislike her so much just because she’s overused like the Joker is?
You don't remember what you've said?
But did I really say that?
Shall I get out the transcripts?
Could you please handwrite them in cursive to make them more pleasant to read?
Who writes in cursive any more?
Would it surprise you to find out that I sometimes still write in cursive?
You are just full of surprises, aren't you?
Do very few people do that?
Do what exactly?
Surprise you?
Are you throwing a party for me?
But are you still surprised?
Why wouldn't I be?
Why would you be?
Do you think Quis expects surprise parties all the time?
What if I never had one and would really really like one?
Would it be more surprising then to get one or not to get one?
At this point isn’t not getting one to be expected?
But weren’t you hinting to us that you want something, in order to get us to surprise you?
Are real obvious hints real hints?
Isn’t it still part of trying to get someone to do something without saying it outright?
Do you really want me to say "throw me a surprise party!"?
How badly do you want a surprise party?
On a scale of 1 to 10?
Shall we go up to 12?
How much better are 11 and 12 compared to 10?
Isn’t more always better?
More weight? More bills? More debt? More cellulite? More Kardashians?
Why do you even need to invoke the Kardashians?
Isn’t everyone fascinated with the lives and doings of the Kardashians?
The same kind of fascination as watching a train wreck?
Would you rather watch a train wreck?
Why would I want to watch such a terrible thing?
Does destruction fascinate you?
Don't I seem more like a creator type?
So do you watch childbirths?
Wouldn't watching conception be more creative?
Using an ultrasound?
Is ultra sound one of Jo Nah's abilities?
Posted By: stile86 Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 02/17/19 11:31 PM
Have we ever seen him try to use Ultra Sound?
Don’t you have to hear Ultra Sound rather than see it?
So only those with superhuman hearing can hear it?
Wouldn't ultra sound be more likely to be in Tyroc's power set?
Did Tyroc have to leave because his powers duplicated someone else?
Was Ultra Sound trademarked?
Have we done our due diligence in seeing if it is trademarked
Is that why you left off the question mark in your post?
Couldn't we still tell that it was a question without the question mark?
Aren't we all questioning here?
Who has the answers?
Where is Bob Rozakis when you need him?
Posted By: stile86 Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 02/19/19 12:47 AM
Who is Bob Rozakis?
Wasn't he good friends with the guy who gave hobby hints?
Was that the guy who got you to go out and buy expensive model kits that you never finished building?
What if I am just taking my time?
What if you are just taking back your time?
Is taking back time similar to turning back time?
Posted By: stile86 Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 02/20/19 08:03 AM
Do you mean similar in etomology or logic?
Could it be both?
Won't only time tell?
What if I won't listen to what time has to say?
Did you say something?
Did who say something?
Are you trying to start the "Who's on First" routine?
Isn't Who on first though?
Are we walking about Who's Who, the original guide to the DCU?
Does Mister Who, enemy of Doctor Fate, have an entry in Who's Who?
Posted By: stile86 Re: Answering Questions with Questions XVII - 02/21/19 09:30 AM
Anyone have a copy to look it up?
Have you checked on eBay?
