How can there be self-help “groups”?
When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?
Why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety one?
The more you study, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know… so why study?
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
If a man with multiple personality disorder threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

I agree!

The more you study, the more you know.
Nuh uh!

August 13, 2014 3:01 am at 3:01 am #1028842FriendInFlatbushParticipantSome of these questions are really nothing when you just apply basic logic (future LSAT takers, pay close attention!) and common sense.
“How can there be self-help “groups”?”
—- The people who are seeking help from the group want to do whatever it is themselves after seeking advice from the group. The group helps those who don’t want to physically solve the problem with other people’s assistance. Bad question.
“When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?”
—- The reason “cheese” is said when your picture is taken is because it forces you to use the same muscles you would use if you smiled. Thus, if cheese could talk, and could smile like a human could, it would also say “cheese”. Bad question.
“The more you study, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know… so why study?”
—- Come on now, really?! That’s a question? Let me give you an example of what you said by quantifying it. Let’s say that knowing something is 100, and knowing more adds on 75. And let’s say that for every additional 75, you forget 25. After all, you are forgetting more. Which is better: Knowing 100 and not forgetting that much, or knowing 150 and forgetting 25??? In another example, I would submit to you that the greatest quarterbacks in football have the most career incomplete passes. And we know that the more incomplete passes you have thrown, the less successful you have been. So does that mean that the best quarterback of all-time (Let’s say Joe Montana) is worse than Mark Sanchez because Monatan failed to complete passes more than Sanchez???!!! Certainly not! Bad question.
“If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?”
—- So centenarians eat people who are over 100 years now too??? Seriously, dude, you are comparing apples to oranges! A vegetarian deals with the life role of eating, and choosing to eat vegetables. Humanitarians are, wait for it, in the business of helping humans! Why are you bringing the argument that way?? In fact, once I say it your way, why couldn’t I argue the following: “If humanitarians help humans, what do vegetarians help?”
“If a man with multiple personality disorder threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?”

August 13, 2014 11:00 pm at 11:00 pm #1028845👑RebYidd23ParticipantFriendInFlatbush, comparing apples and oranges is okay. It’s equating apples and oranges that’s a problem.
August 14, 2014 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm #1028846WolfishMusingsParticipantHow can there be self-help “groups”?
Because they teach you how to help yourself.
When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?
Nothing. Cheeses can’t talk.
why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety one?
Google “etymology eleven”
The more you study, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know… so why study?
Because as long as the percentage you forget is less than the percentage that you gain when you study, you’re still ahead of the game.
Otherwise it’s like asking “To make money, I have to go to work, but to get to work, I have to spend money, so why bother working?”
If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
Whatever they want. Just don’t ask what humantarians eat.
If a man with multiple personality disorder threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
No

I don’t care if the author’s real is name Gavin Gunhold or Querada Vishnik of the D-Lish Cake Company, the poem is brilliant.
