what question should i ask?
Yes of course you are.
:: pats condescendingly on head ::
“How should I be acting in this life that will most directly benefit me in the afterlife?”
If the answer is “It makes no difference” I’ve got the answer to another question.
Darth Xmas?
Who killed Lizzie Borden’s father and step-mother?
Personally, I think it was the maid, Bridget.
I don’t have a cite, but I was once told that it refers to the ammunition belt used for the side guns on WWII bombers, which came in 27 foot lengths. So, when a gunner really opened up on an attacking fighter, he “gave him the whole nine yards.”
Edit: Wikipedia says I’m wrong. Ignorance fought.
I’d want to know the historical truth aboout the origins of Christianity.
“Ginger or Maryanne?”
That wouldn’t necessarily tell you whether or not there is an afterlife. It could make no difference because there is no afterlife, or it could make no difference because the Calvinists are right.
Oh, I like that question better than any I could come up with… Good one.
Has my dad really never smoked pot in his entire life? Homeboy was sixteen in San Francisco during the summer of love. :dubious:
I’d satisfy my curiosity concerning the fate of Amelia Earhart. Since she made quite a splash around here during her time at Purdue University, I’d take special satisfaction in knowing that I (a seven-year resident of Indiana) had the answer to the question that’s preoccupied some of the locals for over seven decades!
“if the answer is 42, what is the question?” 
Tell me what you can see!
What happened to Judge Crater?
My understanding is that there is little doubt that he was taken care just the way and for the same reason Jimmy Hoffa was cancelled. There is no real proof in either case, but apparently both had become liabilities to the mob.
Who was responsible for the deaths of the Princes in the Tower?
My pet theory is that Henry VII’s mother was the brains behind it, but I’d like to know which of the henchmen actually did it. As I’m a member of the Richard III society, it’d take some pretty strong evidence to convince me that he did it.
What happens to us after we die? Besides our physical vessal being cremated/buried/whatever, is there anything more?
Man, I really wish I could know the answer to that one.
