Re: The Answers to Discussion Topics
Q: Help! What does this say?
A: It says that you are in distress
Q: Contest: Robot, Automaton, Mechanization, Cash Register?
A: Well, it would be a surprise if you didn't somehow have to pay - but I would have expected something newer than an oldfashioned cash register
Q: How Many Fingers Am I Holding Up? Research Paper A
A: Between one and ten (unless you are a monster). And Research Paper B will presumably focus on the number of of toes you have got in your shoes. And some day you will be awarded the alternative Nobel price in medicine.
Q: Speaking Russian with Bald and Bankrupt
A: Couldn't you find some rich and hairy Russians to speak to?
Q: Vote for the October book club book
Maybe the next club will be named November Book club ? Or maybe you should call it 'Eternity book club' - then you don't have to make a new one each month...
Q: The Answers to Discussion Topics
A: Not all discussion topics are formulated as questions. How can we then answer them?
AA: Like for instance in the line above. Formulate your answer as a question! <---- meta-something
