The "Answering Rhetorical Questions" Game

[FemmeRealism]

Because why not?

My boyfriend Freddy and I spend most of our time playing mind games that make you really think. (To exercise our use of reason, logic, cause and effect, etc.)
One of my favorites is the Which Came First game, where you bring up two closely intertwined concepts and determine which concept came first.
For example, we once considered the infamous "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" To which Freddy responded, "Obviously the egg, after generations of genetic mutations to previous species of flightless prey birds, the egg of what we now know as the modern day gallus gallus domesticus."

He's a keeper, huh?

So, post a serious rhetorical question. The object of the game is to answer it.

What's the point of answering a rhetorical question?

[Tempus]

To demonstrate your inability to tell apart a point being made from an actual query. This is rather useful and courteous because it alerts the asker to your ineptitude and saves them from wasting any more time with you

"...you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

Bananas.

P.S. This thread is positively screaming for Philosoraptor memes, I'll attempt to restrain myself.

Couldn't resist.
