Nah, **astro** ’s questions can be disingenuous, but they’re rarely stupid. I’ll second **indecisive1** ’s guess of **Wesley Clark** ---

> [@indecisive1](#): > > Wesley Clark? > > Can I do another one? I don’t want to hog the thread (well yes I do actually, so tell me to stop rambling at any time – even though you can’t, seeins’ how I’m hear and you aren’t) Anyway, like I was saying, well I guess I wasn’t actually saying, I mean like I was about to say, thread hogging reminds me alot of de family. How it does I’m not exactly sure. But I bet I could go on about it for quite some time. I could prob’ly even tie this into microwaving plastic chickens. But I won’t, cause nobody wants to think about that. Are you trying to channel **Rue de Day**? Because that’s close but maybe not quite right. You’d need to toss in some cute nicknames like Snickers and Puddin for the lady dopers. And **Green Bean** , was that supposed to be **Jinx**? ---

Nope, not **astro** , and not **Jinx** and not **Wesley Clark** either. I’ll let a few more guesses roll in, because your guesses have been actually been very interesting to me. Wesley Clark is just a really good guess, but it’s not who I was going for. And astro is someone who I admire quite a bit for being willing to start some really controversial and/or thought provoking threads. Interesting that **twix** said that my fake thread title was a “stupid question.” The thing I love about this poster’s threads is that at first glance, they are stupid questions, but then upon further reflection, maybe they aren’t so stupid after all. Some of his questions have inspired really involved discussions. He tends to question things that are so basic to our society or to humanity in general that we just take them for granted. Why do people live in houses? They just do. Where else would they live? Of course, lots of people _don’t_ live in houses, but it seems that most people the world over do live in houses of some sort.\* So the real question is “Why is the single-famly detatched dwelling the most common structure for a human home?” Now that, my friends, is no stupid question. - Note to nitpickers and other interested parties: I really don’t know if most people in the world live in single-family detatched dwellings. I just made up this example for the purposes of this thread. ---
