**wring’s** cites would indicate that Cecil will show up for money and to answer a grammar question which would have been answered anyway. So: Does he come to **GQ** –YES ``` Does he answer unanswerable questions in GQ-- **NO** ``` ---

Erm… not sure how to put this in a way that won’t get me in trouble with my Doper colleagues, but: I’m sure Cecil is a smart, intelligent guy with a decent turn of phrase. Heck, he may even be _nice_. But enough of the Cecil worship already! What’s with it? ---

When I first read “The Straight Dope, a Compendium of Human Knowledge (the last book you’ll ever have to buy)” I was in the library and was laughing so hard I was almost removed from the premises.
