Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[Grondhammar]

What could possibly be so dangerous about a few squiggles?

 

[TBRS1]

Didn't you ever see that movie with the giant octopus?

 

[NDR2]

Are you talking about “It Came from Beneath the Sea” or “Tentacles?”

 

[Grondhammar]

Or maybe "The Little Mermaid"?

 

[TBRS1]

Was that mermaid really as little as everybody claims, or was she just a bit shorter than average?

 

[NDR2]

Wasn’t she the youngest in Poseidon’s?

 

[Grondhammar]

Knowing what we know about the Greek gods, wouldn't Poseidon's youngest have been in utero when Hans Christian wrote the story?

 

[Rodafina]

What if what we think we know is not correct?

 

[TBRS1]

Is it possible that we just think the thoughts we have are incorrect?

 

[Rodafina]

Do you think we think the same things?

 

[TBRS1]

Are you thinking 2X/π•[9∆+√78]=.096?

 

[Grondhammar]

Are some people objectively more capable at maths than others, or is it simply a matter of more or less curiosity about numbers?

 

[TBRS1]

What if "2", "9∆", "√78", and ".096" are the names of somebody's pet ducks?

 

[Grondhammar]

If the person who had such names for their pets was a doctor, could we call the doctor a quack?

 

[TBRS1]

If such a hypothetical learned person had a PhD in Anitidae linguistics, would that make them a quacker?

 

[Grondhammar]

Where could one go to get a doctorate in Anitidae linguistics?

 

[TBRS1]

How would you ever be able to make a living with a degree like that?

 

[NDR2]

Become a golf caddy?

 

[TBRS1]

What if you live in Florida, and all the ducks at the golf course pond have been eaten by alligators?

 

[NDR2]

Replace them with rubber ducks?
