Ok here is the first question


What did people think of the Incredible Hulk movie?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Isn't it just a remake of the one made a couple of years ago?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Why did they have to remake it? Did you know I liked it much more than the Spiderman movies?

[Fett One]

Why do you like it? Don't you know that most people hated it, myself included? Does anyone agree with me that the new one is good?

[MToolen]

Why would anyone say otherwise? By the way, what does everyone think about the franchise building up around Marvel character movies?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Could it be that I liked it because I am very unfamiliar with the original Marvel comics? Could it be that I should compare them more to see if the movie really is good?

[MToolen]

Do you need to read comics to enjoy Marvel movies? Could you not go read about them at, say, Wikipedia?

[Fett One]

Wikipedia isn't 100% accurate so why would you go there for comic information?

[firepokemon]

But surely wikipedia is a quick and easy way to get information?

[MToolen]

Besides, with an uncertainty in trust, isn't anything not 100% accurate?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Am I right if I say for example mathematics is an exact science, but not 100% accurate either?

[firepokemon]

If its an exact science surely everything must be accurate?

[Fett One]

Have you ever known math to be wrong?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Isn't it that for example

1+1=3

when

1=1.5

?

[MToolen]

Does this game always get off topic so quickly?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Would it be boring if it didn't? But have you noticed I sometimes try to return to the former discussion?

[firepokemon]

Why do you have to return to former discussions?

[MToolen]

Could it be a pathology brought on by the constant asking of questions?

[Fett One]

How does constantly asking questions lead to him going back to a previous topic?

[firepokemon]

Perhaps one asks too many questions and thus gets confused and hence therefore why they return to former discussions?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Didn't you know I kept returning to earlier discussions because I felt I had something to say about them and also because I ignored the rule 2?

[Fett One]

Why did it take you so long to come up with things to say about those previous topics?

[firepokemon]

Can't we go and talk about something else please? Like how is the weather?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Fett One, you didn't know it was rather because I always logged out and left computer, did you? And why is that it was quite hot here on Thursday but now it's freezing compared to that?

[Fett One]

Do you know a weather wo/man that we can ask?

[firepokemon]

Lol, you could always try ringing up the tv weatherman/weatherwoman could you could?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Does anyone know the phone numbers of weathermen/women?

[MToolen]

Do you think they skip over the numbers of newscasters/weathermen in the phone book like they do teachers and policemen?

[Fett One]

Does anyone want to take a look to find out?

[firepokemon]

Well couldn't you Fett One? And does anyone else here find themselves reading old posts and realising what you said made no sense at all?

[MToolen]

:D In semi-relevance, does anyone want to know KMOV-4 weatherman Kent Ehrhardt's phone number?

[Fett One]

Do you know it?

[MToolen]

Why else would I ask? Is there anything you can't get on the internet these days?

[Fett One]

Can you get a person to do your laundry on the internet?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Fett One, why won't you come to me to do my laundry?

[firepokemon]

But Mikachu Yukitatsu would you do his ironing?

[Fett One]

Why would I do the laundry of a person I have never met face-to-face? For that matter why would I let someone I have never met face-to-face do my ironing?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did you realize it was just a joke and an example showing I disagree with you in that you couldn't get someone to do your laundry from internet?

[MToolen]

Does anyone else think some of these questions get a little too heated?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did you know I've been wondering the same thing?

[Fett One]

Should we all cool off by getting some ice-cream?

[MToolen]

What kind of ice cream is available? Can we have pineapple sherbet?

[firepokemon]

What if someone doesn't like Pineapple?

[Fett One]

Why can't people just get whatever flavor they like?

[MToolen]

Logistically speaking, how is the ice cream getting to us? Is it beamed through the Internets? Wouldn't that get the series of tubes all sticky?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't we be leaving our houses to go buy the ice-cream?

[Knight of Time]

What if an ice cream truck pulled up to your house, Fett One? Would you go for the ice cream if it was being sold so close to you?

[mr_pikachu]

What if he's lactose intolerant? Would it be worth it for him to leave his house, cope with brain freeze and get very sick in order to savor a few artificial flavors and several pounds of sugar?

[Fett One]

I'm not lactose-intolerant but is anyone here lactose-intolerant?

[firepokemon]

Wouldn't it suck to be lactose intolerant?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

You didn't know people, including myself, thought I was a lactose-intolerant when I was younger, did you? But isn't it good that they were wrong?

[mr_pikachu]

Why did they think you were lactose intolerant?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Didn't you guess I had a really bad diarrhea back there?

[mr_pikachu]

Is anyone else sickened by that last post?

[MToolen]

Couldn't you have tried reading through it quickly before you had a mental picture in your head?

[Fett One]

How would reading it quickly prevent the mental picture?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Should I be sorry? But wouldn't it be hard to prevent the mental picture, especially now that we have a small discussion on me having diarrhea?

[mr_pikachu]

Why are you reminding us of the painful imagery, Mikachu?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Couldn't we all just give up talking about it?

[firepokemon]

What can possibly top the current questions?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What about the meaning of life?

[MToolen]

Could we ever know that? Why even ask?

[firepokemon]

Do we actually want to know the meaning of life? Surely you must agree with me that its something we shouldn't know?

[Fett One]

What about people who want to know? Wouldn't they disagree with you?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Should I tell you I have thought for a long time that the meaning of life is to find your own meaning of life?

[firepokemon]

Isn't that the whole reason why so many don't want to know the meaning of life? Could it be that it is such a complex argument involving complex analytical thought, that maybe it is essentially too complex? Ugh why did my second question have the word 'complex' three times?

[Fett One]

Isn't the only person that can answer your third question you?

[MToolen]

Even though it might not be correct, couldn't I answer the question?

[firepokemon]

Would you like to ask the question? Why do we manage to always disturb the line of questioning, so everything becomes strange questions?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't things get boring if we didn't?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Aren't unanswered questions the essence of this topic?

[MToolen]

Could we answer our unanswered questions with other questions? Do rhetorical questions count?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Have you noticed some questions are unanswered becuase we stick to grammar too much? Like do you remember when I asked "Did you know that I HAVE send a game to Australia before?" and all you did was commented on my grammar?

[mr_pikachu]

Would a criticism of your grammar in that sentence be a proper response given its subject matter?

[firepokemon]

Is anyone else tired of the questioning of grammar?

[MToolen]

Why? Don't you enjoy nitpicking at grammar?

[Fett One]

Doesn't mr_pikachu love nitpicking at people's grammer, so why should we stop him?

[Knight of Time]

Fett One, don't you mean grammar? Wouldn't this be considered nitpicking if someone here spelled a word wrong by accident, only to have another person correct them?

[MToolen]

Knight of Time, would you like to join mr_pikachu and myself in a grammar crusade?

[Fett One]

When did you and mr_pikachu start a grammar crusade?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What kind of religion is grammar?

[MToolen]

Well, if we have the same goals, why not team up? And wouldn't grammar be all New-Age-y and say it was above religion?

[Fett One]

Why would it be New-Age-y?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Since when has grammar been religion? Anyways, could we say that for example Confucianism affects the usage of certain constructions in Japanese?

[MToolen]

Would that be like the historical pushes the Bible has made in German with the Gutenburg Bible and in English with the King James Version?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

So isn't it that religion and grammar have some connections so the idea of having grammar as a religion isn't so stupid after all?

[MToolen]

Wouldn't that be like saying that, since singing "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch in baseball has become popular, baseball could be a religion?

[Lady Vulpix]

What definition of 'religion' are you going by?

[Fett One]

How many definitions of "religion" are there?

[Lady Vulpix]

How can we even find that out?

[MToolen]

If it's impossible, can we switch to another topic?

[Lady Vulpix]

What would you like to talk about?

[Knight of Time]

What are some examples of things we can talk about right now, Gabi?

[Lady Vulpix]

Haven't you just rephrased my question? Why can't you think of something to discuss?

[Fett One]

Can we talk about food like in the old days of this game?

[firepokemon]

Well there had better be other people here who love plain butter and milk mashed potatos, so are there? And can you believe one can get instant mashed potatos? It's rather creepy don't you think?

[Lady Vulpix]

Instant? How instant?

[firepokemon]

How about water, powdermix, microwave, stir then serve?

[Knight of Time]

Would that technically be the fastest way of making mashed potatoes? Then again, what good would mashed potatoes be without other vegetables, or meat?

[MToolen]

Wouldn't it be just as good with corn? Does anyone else eat their mashed potatoes like that?

[Lady Vulpix]

Didn't we have that 25 years ago (and possibly earlier), except that you had to boil it since there were no microwaves?

And am I the only one who eats mashed potatoes with lemon?

[Fett One]

Why do you eat it with lemons? Does anyone eat mashed potatoes plan like I do?

[mr_pikachu]

Does salt count as a condiment for mashed potatoes?

[firepokemon]

Would you like it to count?

[mr_pikachu]

Doesn't that depend on whether or not I want to be like Fett and avoid mashed potato condiments?

[MToolen]

Could you not check Wikipedia, which says, "...it is commonly used as a condiment?"

[Fett One]

How reliable is Wikipedia?

[firepokemon]

Haven't we already deduced earlier in one of these questions that Wikipedia can only be used as quick summaries and quick information as the reliability can not be validated?

[Lady Vulpix]

Can you believe I've had a discussion about the reliability of Wikipedia earlier today?

[mr_pikachu]

Isn't it a common topic in academia?

[MToolen]

Why do we only question Wikipedia? Why not also question something off the wall like Encyclopedia Britannica?

[Fett One]

Isn't that because anybody can change Wikipedia but only people working for Encyclopedia Britannica can make changes?

[MToolen]

Could you not question the authority of EB article writers, though?

[firepokemon]

Surely one just hopes that they get proper people in and therefore, one already assumes they're good?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Isn't that because anybody can change Wikipedia but only people working for Encyclopedia Britannica can make changes?

Can't this be interprepted in two opposite ways?

[Fett One]

In what ways are you referring to?

[firepokemon]

Are there certain ways you wish for him to refer them to as? Also aren't questions meant to follow each other?

[MToolen]

Isn't the premise of questions following questions the premise of this game?

[Fett One]

What would this game be like if it didn't follow that premise?

[Lady Vulpix]

Wouldn't it turn into a spam-fest?

[MToolen]

Wouldn't any game devoid of its premise become a spam-fest?

[Fett One]

What about a game, whose premise is to be a spam-fest? What happens to it if you remove it's premise?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Would that kind of game become mod approved? Anyway, would it be a spammy spammy thread or spammy unspammy thread or perhaps unspammy spammy thread?

[MToolen]

How would you differentiate between those types of threads?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Why would I ask if I knew? But in this topic, don't we all agree in that we just have to ask questions even if we know the answer?

[mr_pikachu]

Why would you ask a question to which you already knew the answer? Why not simply ask a different question?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What if someone wants to tell a fact in this thread?

[firepokemon]

Would the fact be interesting or would it rather uninteresting?

[Fett One]

Does it really matter which one?

[MToolen]

In any case, wouldn't it be ironically deleted for being truthful?

[Fett One]

Why would it be deleted for being truthful?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Would it be deleted if it was a question and didn't break any other rules?

[firepokemon]

Surely that would depend on how the question is made don't you think?

[Fett One]

What kind of question would fall under that?

[MToolen]

Can we successfully revive this topic? Is everybody going to school soon?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Is it that we are somewhat tired of this? But did you know I'll start teaching Japanese next month if there are enough students?

[MToolen]

How many students are enough?

[Fett One]

Do you teach Japanese professionally or this just a part time job?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Can you imagine I don't know how many students are enough because I have some contradictory information? How would I know if they give me different numbers like 5, 8 or 10?

And Fett One, have I told before I don't have teacher education, it's just a part-time job so far?

[Fett One]

Have you found out yet if there are enough students?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

When do you think they'll tell me? You didn't know I expected a call the day before yesterday, did you? Anyway, don't you think there will be enough students because I checked my hometown's web page already on Monday, the first application day, and it said there were already 6 people?

[Fett One]

Since Mikachu Yukitatsu opened a topic about his class in Misc, what should we talk about now? Is everyone ok talking about Digimon? What does everyone think of Digimon Savers? Does anyone agree with me that it is a good season?

[mr_pikachu]

Why can't we talk about his class in two separate topics? Is there a rule against redundancy?

[Fett One]

Couldn't Mikachu Yukitatsu find redundancy annoying, since he will be posting about his activities in two different places? Shouldn't the decision be his to make concerning redundancy? Also, what's wrong with me trying to avoid redundacy? Is there any good reason to have redundancy in this particular case?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Haven't you guessed I'm fine with both solutions? Wouldn't everyone who is interested in my course have the same problem of reading two different topics? Anyways, you knew I like Digimon, too, didn't you?

[firepokemon]

Surely most like Digimon? Wasn't it different with its less episodic strategy and the keeping of Japanese names?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Did you know that Finland had the first season and the first half of the second season in Finnish but the rest of the second season was in Japanese?

[Fett One]

Why did they air the second half in japanese?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Can you believe I really don't know? Could it have been because they stopped showing Digimon for a while here and Finnish Digimon fans wrote an address to get them to continue the series? Perhaps the Finnish voice actors had quit or something, does that make sense?

[Knight of Time]

Aren't TV shows usually supposed to end for a reason? Does anyone believe Pokemon may end someday?

[classy_cat18]

Do you believe that hell will freeze over? Do you believe that pigs will fly?

[Fett One]

classy_cat18, should we take that as a "no"? Wouldn't it come to an end when enough people get tired of watching pokemon? As long as they keep making games, will people even get tired of watching the show?

[classy_cat18]

Don't you think that people stopped caring about the show two years ago?

[Fett One]

If people stopped caring then why is it still on?

[classy_cat18]

...Can you believe that I have no idea?

[firepokemon]

Because surely people love the anime? I know I do and I am sure it is the same for others?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Can you believe I still like the Pokemon anime and watch it about every other week? Does anyone remember my translations I posted a lot when Hanada Tattsu was in the Pokemon Anime forum? But can you believe I lost the TV Tokyo Yokoku page where I used to get the material? Should I look for it more?

[Fett One]

Wasn't Hanada Tattsu the mod for Pokemon Anime? Who is the current mod in that section?

Mikachu Yukitatsu, do you feel like looking for that site? If you do find it, do you even have time to do translations?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How does it seem that there is no mod at all? And should I say I'm not sure about translating, but wouldn't reading Pokemon episode previews help me to improve my Japanese anyway?

[Knight of Time]

Would it be of help to find someone who could translate Pokemon episodes to your native language, Mikachu?

[Fett One]

Knight of Time, do you know someone that can help Mikachu Yukitatsu?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Was my phrasing of the question bad because I ment I'd translate them from Japanese to English to post them at TPM?

[Knight of Time]

What translator did you use, Mikachu?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't any translator work?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Didn't you know I never use translators, only dictionaries because I want to figure it out by myself?

[shazza]

Wouldn't the use of dictionaries not be classified as getting help by yourself, rather they are assisting you as much as translators?

[MToolen]

Wouldn't it be better to say that dictionaries are less of an aid than translators?

[Knight of Time]

Do you find dictionaries easy to read no matter what language they're in, Mikachu?

[Fett One]

Aren't all dictionaries the same, with the exception of the language that they are written in?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Well wouldn't for instance a hieroglyph-Arabian dictionary be quite hard to read as I'm unfamiliar with both of them?

[Fett One]

Why would you try to read that kind of dictionary? Does such a dictionary even exist?

[MToolen]

Do dictionaries follow the same rule of things online, where if you think of it, it's probably online?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Didn't you take it as an example, Fett One? And did you know there are some really good online dictionaries I use, I don't know about hieroglyph-Arabian which I don't need though?

[shazza]

Can you tell us about some of these online dictonaries? Did you know I'm genuinely intersted now?

[Knight of Time]

How long have you been interested in online dictionaries for, shazza? Do you prefer them over the book versions?

[Fett One]

Isn't it faster to use an online dictionary? V, have you ever been to www.dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com)?

[Sandslash and Ninetails]

How much faster is it to use an online dictionary?

[shazza]

Wouldn't it depend on how fast you can use a book dictionary?

[Knight of Time]

What if someone wanting to use a dictionary didn't have any book dictionaries? Would they probably have to rely on Wikipedia to look up stuff?

[Fett One]

Why would you use Wikipedia as a dictionary? Isn't it only used as an encyclopedia?

[mr_pikachu]

Is Wikipedia even reliable as an encyclopedia?

[Fett One]

Haven't we discussed the reliablity of Wikipedia several times? In fact haven't people commented on us constantly discussing the reliablity of Wikipedia, as well?

[mr_pikachu]

Is that a problem?

[Lady Vulpix]

Don't the same discussions come up again and again? Does anyone reach any new conclusions or is it just like a wheel, turning over and over?

[Knight of Time]

Are some of the discussions here in an older Questions Only topic, Gabi?

[Fett One]

Have you tried looking?

[mr_pikachu]

Would it really be worth the effort?

[Knight of Time]

Is the oldest version of the game gone right now? How long do you guys suppose this topic will stick around for after it's closed due to the need of a new version?

[mr_pikachu]

Don't we have about 200 posts to go before that happens?

[Fett One]

About how long will it take to reach 200?

[mr_pikachu]

Doesn't that depend entirely on how often people decide to post?

[Fett One]

Care to make a guess anyway?

[Knight of Time]

Would we probably finish around 300 posts, or would that be too many?

[mr_pikachu]

Don't you know that most threads in PCG finish with around 375 posts?

[Fett One]

Who picked that limit?

[mr_pikachu]

Didn't it originate in the days of 25-post pages, when any more than 15 pages seemed like overkill?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

By the way, are we obligated to read all that?

[Fett One]

Read all of what?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Wasn't it clear that I meant if you want to post in a thread for the first time but it's really long?

[Knight of Time]

What are you really trying to say here, Mikachu? Are you trying to confuse someone unintentionally?

[Fett One]

Why would anyone want to intentionally confuse a person?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How could I find better words so that you weren't confused?

[Fett One]

Would a thesaurus help?

[firepokemon]

Wouldn't one then be faced with too many choices?

[Knight of Time]

Is there usually one synonym for a word that is better than the others?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't using a thesaurus help us find out?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Would using a thesaurus help us to find out whether or not there was use using a thesaurus?

[Fett One]

Why doesn't someone try it to find out?

[firepokemon]

Would you like to try it out Fett One?

[Fett One]

I don't feel like it but what about you?

[Knight of Time]

Do you not like to read a thesaurus, Fett One? Or do you find them boring?

[Fett One]

I have never read one so how would I know if I like it or not?

[firepokemon]

Why don't you go out and read one?

[Fett One]

How much does one cost? Since it's your idea for me to read one, will you pay for the thesaurus?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Couldn't you borrow it from a library?

[Fett One]

Where's the fun in that?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Does it have to be fun? In fact, do you guys think this whole topic is still funny?

[Fett One]

Do you think it isn't fun anymore?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Shall I say this topic is having a dull phase?

[Fett One]

What do you suggest we do to fix that?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

May I suggest we should put some more thought on what we say? Or should I just shut up?

[Fett One]

Why would you shut up? Aren't we all free to say whatever we want?

[mr_pikachu]

What if he doesn't want to exercise his right to free speech?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

mr_pikachu, how did you know Finland is a democratic country?

[firepokemon]

Because Finland is a scandinavian country and they're all democratic?

[Dark-San]

Does it even make senses for us to call Finland democratic when we have no idea on its current political system, unless of course Mikachu enlightens us?

[mr_pikachu]

Instead of complaining that you know nothing about Finland, why don't you do a little research?

[Knight of Time]

Where would you go to research information on Finland? Would it possibly take awhile to gain some knowledge about a country you haven't been to?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't google be the best place to look for information?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What about Wikipedia? But did you know we do have a parliament named 'eduskunta', and unlike in the US, a president elected in a direct election without delegates? And may I welcome Dark-San back to PCG? Was there too many different kinds of questions here?

[Fett One]

Why would you use Wikipedia? How long was Dark-San gone for?

[Dark-San]

Don't you know I was gone for around 4 months or so? Have anyone have any idea on what I went through during that period; undergoing three group assignments at one go, participating in interviews with the companies involved, sleeping for only 4 hours everyday, taking up a part time job to meet your ends? Would anyone like to undergo through this mental torture?

[mr_pikachu]

Why would anyone want to be tortured?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What if you live in for example the Naruto world where if you become a prisoner, you will be tortured unless you reveal the secrets that are critical to your family, relatives, clan, even to your country?

[Knight of Time]

Why would someone want to live in one of the worst countries in the world? Wouldn't it be better for someone to only be in one of those bad countries if they were in the armed forces?

[Fett One]

How many people would actually want to join the armed forces?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

How many people can choose their home country?

[Fett One]

Shouldn't everyone be allowed to choose?

[Knight of Time]

Shouldn't people try to consider looking for the armed forces base nearest them? Or what if they were too far away from a good base to get their training?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

What do you mean, do you think military training helps you to survive in that kind of counrty?

[Fett One]

Wouldn't it improve your chances?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Aren't soldiers often targets for terrorists and such? On the other hand, these days civilian death rate in conflicts is high, isn't it?

[Dark-San]

Why are we discussing such gloomy topics on killings and death? Can't we discuss on a more interesting and fun topic?

[mr_pikachu]

Wouldn't changing the subject violate the "stay on topic" rule?

[Fett One]

Technically isn't Dark-San still on topic since he mentioned how gloomy the topic is?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Isn't Fett One just right? But how could we move to another subject?

[Knight of Time]

Isn't asking how we can move to another subject considered to be a silly question? And, would asking a silly question always give you a silly answer?

[Dark-San]

Then why wouldn't we attempt to provide an intelligent answer to that 'stupid' question? Wouldn't it make things a whole lot more interesting?

[Fett One]

How can you give an answer when you are only allowed to ask questions?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hasn't that question been asked before? Actually, hasn't even the first sentence in this post been said before?
