You'll notice that they WERE in the form of questions. And no doubt they were stupid questions.
Undoubtedly, what you posed were questions - no disputing that. However, if I'd said Da Vinci, Di Caprio, the former Brazilian footballer, the teenage mutant ninja turtle or some other, hitherto unknown Leonardo, THAT would have been an answer.
So I was concerned about ME giving an answer, not YOU. Hence your use of that picture of Goldsmith having an examination for throat ulcers was both unnecessary and misplaced.
And please be advised that the above is an explanation, not an answer. Just in case the thread cops are watching.....

Okay, what should we have done? Should we have had a conversation like that on "Who's Line Is It Anyway" (the British version, not the American), where they have a conversation composed entirely of questions? Or should half the board have just smacked you upside the head for confusing James Horner with Jerry Goldsmith?
And have any of my questions above truly risen yet to the level of stupid?

George Carlin had a good one back in the day.
He talked about how at an Airport, he would wonder why he'd always hear the people say-
"Let's get on the Plane now", "It's time to get on the Plane"
To which he replied
"You can get ON the Plane, I'm getting IN the Plane."
We get ON Trains, Planes and Buses but we get IN Cars.
Interesting.
LOL! I saw Carlin on that PBS interview with BLANK Rose- (can't remember his first name) and he's quite, quite literate and educated. His mom was an English teacher and instilled the proper use of language in him at a young age, and he's plumbed it's misuse with hilarious results.

why is it that F O O D goes in - but D O O F isn't what we call what comes out?
It would make more sense when people call others a 'doofus' !
