This is the spot for you to pose your rhetorical questions and have them answered, eventually, by our team of crack researchers. As soon as we can get them off of crack and into methadone replacement therapy, they'll hop all over your questions.

Please be patient. Cogent responses require at least the appearance that we've spent time on it.

So, class, is math important in the real world? Well---no, no hands, please, that was a rhetorical question.

I hope it's ok if I ask more than one...

Why do they always discontinue the hair products that actually work on my hair as soon as I've gotten comfortable with them?

Why do the doors on teeny, tiny bathroom stalls open inward, leaving no room in the stall for the actual person?

Because it's part of an evil conspiracy against curly-haired people.

Because they were designed by men. That's also why a 3:2 ratio of bathrooms or bathroom space is not required by law (more for women), so we can get out in at least half the time of men.

The answer depends on how one parses the above query. If Mothra is the one wearing the giant wool sweater, the bee wins because Mothra's wings would be pinned.

If the bee is wearing the giant wool sweater, Mothra wins because, basically, the bee would be smothered by the wool sweater and Mothra could just eat through at her leisure.

Thanks for your question.

What is this "real world" of which you speek? Fortunately for you, math is important in the fantasy world where most students reside.

Thanks for your question.

Really, sometimes it just seems that way. But this time, it really is that way. We took a vote and you were selected to bear the brunt of all existence. Surely you got the memo.

Hunger, combined with laziness and a depletion of discretionary funds. I'd say you've been on Hatrack way too long and are unemployed.

Thanks for you question.

No, Bob, it doesn't matter who is wearing the wool sweater. Mothra has a name and the giant mutant bee doesn't. Mothra wins. Besides, does the bee have fairies that sing a special song for it?

Edit: grammar
