Setting: Dry, warm evening in a small pub in Los Angeles.
Deputy Julian: "Whew-whee! What's that smell?!"
Detective Kyle (with a light drawl): "That's ozone, Julian. Something out of this world happened in this English phone box."
Dep. Julian (looking up at the sky): "By out of this world…you mean up there in the sky?"
Det. Kyle: sighs heavily
Dep. Julian: "I'm going to go check!"
Julian unfurls his giant grotesque wings. After a few large flaps, he has risen into the air. He begins sweating profusely.
Dep. Julian: "GAH, I should've taken off this heavy sweatshirt!"
Det. Kyle: Pulls out his bubble pipe "Bye, LaForge. I think you've got it!"
QUESTIONS
Julian: "Could humans ever actually evolve to have the ability to fly? How hard would it be?" from Madeline
Trace: "How many sweatshirt you have to remove to inhale a lethal dose of ozone created by static discharge?" from Phillippe
Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food? If you want an answer, no matter the question, tell us!
