In this thread, you answer the question posed by the previous poster, and then ask a question that is truly irrelevant to the betterment of mankind or the improvement of the human condition.

Why haven't the Trogdorian peasants been taught to stop, drop, and roll?

How can I be sleep-walking to a corner market when there isn't one? Or any within several blocks, even?

Nope.


Ok, now that we've determined it's the trek (while sleeping) to the non-corner market that is tiring me out, what can I do about it? (other than start wearing longer nightgowns)

Someone hacked into the main computer and changed the data to make it look like it had really happened that way?

Is it legally to use it so many times in the same post even if it refers to a different it each time?

The difference between a duck is that one of it's leg is the same.

A wood chuck would chuck 12 pecks of wood if it could.

Which leg?

and

How many kilograms of pine wood are there in a peck?

[A digression]Hey Rabbit how did you know the answer to the duck?? You're the first person I've come across in 35 years that's heard that one. My history teacher told it to me when I was 15. I'm impressed!!! [Hail]

Maybe we had the same history teacher? Most people think that the answer to the duck question is "It all depends on whether you ride the bus to school or take a sack lunch" but that is actually the answer to the followup the question "which leg?"

[Digression] This thread is different from begging the question in several significant ways. First, here questions are posted before answers. Second, questions here must be irrelevant. Third, BtQ is over 2 years old and 114 pages [end digression]

I now return you to the regularly scheduled game.

Each of its legs are both the same. I got it on good authority.
