Is this murder?", "How would you measure the weight of your own head?", "What is fate?", "How would you describe an apple?", "The stage : a platform for opinions or just entertainment - what are you thoughts?", "I am an oil baron in the desert and I need to deliver oil to four different towns which happen to lie on a straight line. I must visit each town in turn, returning to my oil tank between each visit. Where should I position my tank to drive the shortest possible distance? Roads are no problem, since I have sheikh friend who will build me as many roads as I like for free.", "Think of a painting of a tree. Is the tree real?", "Does a snail have a consciousness?", "Why is there salt in the sea?", "What is the point of using NHS money to keep old people alive?", "You have a 3-litre jug and a 5-litre jug. Make 4 litres.", "Was it fair that a woman's planning application for painting her door purple in a conservation area was declined?", "Do you think Chariman Mao would have been proud of the China of today?", "Why isn't there a global government?", "Is the Bible a fictional work?

", "How would you travel through time?", "Can a computer have a conscience?", "What would happen if the Classics department burned down?", "Don't you think Hamlet is a bit long? Well I do.", "Is there such a thing as 'race'?", "Is nature natural?", "Is the environment a bigger crisis than poverty or AIDS?", "Why do the words 'God' and 'I' have capital letters?", "Is it more important to focus on poverty at home or poverty abroad?", "What makes you think I'm having thoughts?".
