@bookish1 Yes, really. I answer them whenever I get a chance. They are absurd questions, and inspire all kinds of flight of fancy for me. I’m a little surprised that you don’t get this. You always seemed to have a bit of whimsy in you, but perhaps not. In any case, different people respond in different ways to different stimuli. You can be sure that I love Randy’s questions. Oddly, for the longest time, I never saw any, and wasn’t sure I believed they really existed. But lately, I’ve been seeing some of them before they get modded.
Unfortunately, fluther doesn’t like whimsy. Every once in a while they will let me ask a whimsical question, but usually they get modded, which pisses me off. I don’t need to be pissed off, so I don’t ask them any more. Which is sad.
I think you can get away with a question like that if you explain that it is whimsical, but of course, that destroys the question. People have to figure it out themselves, or the fun is taken out of it.
