One Question

Pekka · July 12, 2003, 16:36

If there was one question you could ask from a one person (can be anyone, excluding God and Jesus), what would the question be and who'd you ask it from?

Note: Questions must be so, that the answer won't take for ever, for example asking Einstein to teach you his theories should be avoided.

So, it can be any celebrity, anyone dead or alive.

Ted Striker · July 12, 2003, 16:39

so it has to be a celebrity?

SlowwHand · July 12, 2003, 16:41

I'd ask Noah why the heck he forgot the unicorns.

To Winston Churchill:

"What do you think about the hypocrisy of those people who start sentences with 'I support our armed forces but...' and yet continue to undermine our army's efforts in ridding the world of a mass-murdering dictator?"

Pekka · July 12, 2003, 16:42

Ted Striker, no it doesn't have to be celebrity, but if it's someone no one else knows but you.. it's not that interesting

. But sure.. if that's the person you choose of all people.. then who am I to stop you?!

SlowwHand · July 12, 2003, 16:46

Yeah, Ted. You can ask me.

Hueij · July 12, 2003, 16:46

I'd ask Norma Jean Baker: "Why, why, why? I'd could have made you happy..."

What did Churchill do to undermine the armed forces efforts?

Bugs ****ing Bunny · July 12, 2003, 16:50

I'd ask Bill Gates "What's the passwords and PINs to your on-line bank accounts?"

Stewie is trying to convince himself that the UK was right following the Americans into Iraq

Pekka · July 12, 2003, 16:53

I'd ask Hitler just before he commited suicide if he thought it was worth it, and if he had any regrets.

Haven't you heard the song?

Quote:

(Words and music by Shel Silverstein)
A long time ago when the earth was green,
There were more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen.
They'd run around free when the ark was bring born,
But the loveliest of them all was the Unicorn.

There were green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, But sure as you're born
The loveliest of them all was the Unicorn.

Now God seen some sinning and it gave him pain.
And he says, "Stand back, I'm gonna make it rain."
He says, "Hey Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do,
Build me a floating zoo."

And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, But sure as you're born,
Don't you forget my Unicorn.

Old Noah was there to answer the call.
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started falling.
He marched in the animals, two by two
And he called out as they went through.

Hey Lord, I got your green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants,
But Lord, I'm so forlorn, I just can't see no Unicorns.

Then, Noah looked out through the driving rain,
Them Unicorns were hiding, playing silly games,
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring.
Oh, them silly Unicorns.

There were green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain is pouring,
And we just can't wait for no Unicorns"

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tides.
Them Unicorns looked up from their rocks and they cried,
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away.
And, that's why you've never seen a Unicorn to this very day.

You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants,
But sure as you're born,
You're never gonna see a Unicorn.

Yes, I'd ask that one too.

Have another look at the question..

Pekka · July 12, 2003, 16:57

Well I have to think more and let Solver ask that one

.

OH and the rules would be, that you are not able to tell the others what you asked, and what the person answered!!! Forgot from the original post.

I'll let Solver handle Adolf, since the answer would be yes or no, and if yes then maybe some more information but nothing much. I'll give my real answer later after I have figured out what I want to know and from who.

Pekka · July 12, 2003, 17:00

I got it! I'd ask who were the people behind conspiracy to kill JFK, and how it all went down.

From Lee Harvey Oswald.

???

We can't tell what we asked and what that person answered? Then what's this thread about???

Solver · July 12, 2003, 17:01

While an answer would be a simple yes or no... it would be of great interest to me.

Nubclear · July 12, 2003, 17:02

I'd ask Bin Laden where he was hiding.

Pekka · July 12, 2003, 17:06

Hueij, Of course you can tell here.. what would you ask. Naturally you don't know the answer for real. But if you had the chance in real life, you couldn't tell what the answer was to the public. So say you might discover a secret, you can't tell it. Or if it's something really personal about someone.. you couldn't tell it. So with this rule, you wouldn't be able to personally benefit that much gaining popularity, so you'd really have to ask something that is of great interest to you.

Pekka · July 12, 2003, 17:07

Solver, yes, I've thought about that many times and I'd be more than willing to know the answer but.. with one question I will choose another one, something that requires more than yes or no

.

Ah... so my question to Norma Jean still stands. We could be so happy together... (Sorry Joe DiMaggio

)

Solver · July 12, 2003, 17:10

If a more than a simple yes or no, then I guess I'd also like asking Alexander as to what is his goal in life, and why, and what would he do if that was accomplished?

Pekka · July 12, 2003, 17:12

Hueij, Sure. Of course with this 'rule' which is not enforced, you can still benefit personally. But it only adds to the excitement that you will keep the secret (if it is a secret).

He... I'm an open book

SlowwHand · July 12, 2003, 18:04

geeslaka. You bet. The Irish Rovers sang it.

Dauphin · July 12, 2003, 18:06

"Free for a date?"

MrFun · July 12, 2003, 18:25

I'd ask Blacwidow where the hell she has gone off to.
