Shall we try this again? Questions to be asked?

Should a sentence clearly structured as a question be penalized simply for the omission of a question mark? Should there be a lesser penalty for newcomers?

Could it be Gödel’s incompleteness theorem?

Do you often find yourself formulating axioms which you know to be true, but which you cannot prove from inside your rational system of beliefs?

Do you suffer from any of these six common conditions?

  1. Bananaphobia?
  2. An unseemly attachment to Abraham Lincoln?
  3. An irrational sense of dread when served meatloaf?
  4. An irrational sense of dread when served by Meatloaf?
  5. Feelings of dread in your basement or attic?
  6. Have you or anyone in your family ever seen a spook, specter or ghost?

Are we ready to believe you?
