Wow! You really don’t have any answers! How did you acquire this amazing skill? And pertinent to **Dijon Warlock** ’s question… Can God make a rock so heavy that even HE can’t lift it? Can God heat a burrito so hot that even HE can’t eat it? ---

Somewhere along the way, I heard a big whoosh, and suddenly, I was capable of not answering _anything_. Don’t know about those other questions either.
