<Game> Questions Only Version 29 (LV Approved)

[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?
