Or rather, aren't questions often obvious answers?
Does anyone have some aspirin?

Would a whale stuck in a well in Wellington wail, "Forget the veil!" ?

Will the sailors wail when a large sea mammal whales on the wales of the wherry?
Question Recast:
Will the sailors howl when a whale bashes the gunwale edges of the light boat?

Why do I read this thread?
In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Knights kick knaves?
Kings kill knights?
Queens quickly quell querulous quandrys?

Is

Would
or
be valid questions?
In the "Stupid Question, Stupid Answer" thread would

Would no, no (only if used appropriately and ended with a

Doesn't the game remain more fun when participants post relatively complete queries? Do you agree with me on this point?

How could we not agree with our Grande Dame that we all like and respect, eldest sister or not?

Does questing for quality questions quickly qualify as querulousness or is Queen Sue questing quantity of quandry?

Does anyone know how to say "good job, Algot" in a question?

How about "good job? Algot?"
'You can take our lives but you'll never take our freedom!' he screamed.

Has anyone ever seen a longer alliterative sentence than Algot's?

Will widely wandering World Wide Web work wonders warranting witty word...sentences?
Will thanks for your kind comments be enough, MidasKnight, the grim, Sue?

Hirsute hooligans have heretofore harangued, hoodwinked & hijacked the hoi polli hereabouts with their alliterative hucksterism. Henceforth, such hateful high-handed heresy shall be halted here, hear ?!

As a newbie here, am I supposed to read all 206 pages in this thread? And in reverse order too?

Since we humans eat, defecate, and give birth backwards, why should it be surprising that we have to do many other less important things backwards as well ?

Granted for the other two, but why do you say we eat backwards?

Although one's teeth move forward when biting, surely you've noticed that the food, after having been bitten off, moves backward into one's body for further chewing and swallowing ?
