What’s better, cats or dogs? Why do Orthodox Jews \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_? What’s the evolutionary purpose of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_? Why do gay men talk like that? Why do lesbians dress like that? Suppose you went back in time, and could take only one thing? What caused the Big Bang? What is the universe expanding into? Who makes the best burgers? Who makes the best frozen pizza? Why isn’t there any People Chow? Has anyone had sex in space? What’s the worst book you had to read in school? How many famous people have you met? Should people be allowed to put ketchup on hot dogs? Do you know anyone named Ron? Suppose Germany and Japan had won WWII . . . What if we sent a tank back to Roman times . . . What if the sun instantaneously vanished . . . Suppose I’m traveling at the speed of light, with a flashlight . . . Name this song. Name this short story. Name this movie. ---
