Huh?

I didn't realise questions where so limited in form.

[silverskull39]

it's sort of a question, but not a very good one and it's liable to give grammar Nazis and English teachers nightmares.

Find one that doesn't fit into those three categories.

Did you set your dwarf on fire? is one.

Can you set your dwarf on fire? two

Will you set your dwarf on fire? three

aren't you going to set your dwarf on fire? four

Is that dwarf on fire? five

shall I go on?

[Simmura McCrea]

They're all yes/no questions.

[silverskull39]

hum....well I'll be damned. I concede defeat.

A sentence that describes something in a questioning tone, is presumed to be a yes/no question. Such as from the recent "Turtles Forever" animated movie thing - "A giant golfball on wheels?" Of course, it's then followed by "THAT's the Shredder's ultimate weapon?", a more correct form of question, but the original sentence can be answered with a Yes or No as well. Therefore, "One giant...huge snowball with infinite time to go around the earths surface presuming it does not melt and can float over water to gain new snow onto its outer layers?" is a yes/no question.

To quote bash.org:

Kraigen: Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves.

Kraigen?
Whossat?

[Dabi]

Somehow me saying that has brought on all of this...ahhhh!!!
By the way, I'm sure they need to add brang to the dictionary(RANDOMMMM)

Though to answer this, it was more of a "extension" to his snowball.

But the ? at the end was more of a thing how I was confirming it...aahh someone already answered this perfectly.

[Draco18s]

Kraigen?
Whossat?

Some IRC chat user who's name has been forever preserved in Bash.org.

I imagine that the dwarven equivalent of all this stuff about the curvature of space is the Philosopher trying to work out exactly how one square can contain a colossus but not a wagon.
