My answer needs to not only inform but also entertain and not bore the person asking the question!? The idea that I'm even bothering with your question isn't sufficient enough to warrant enough appreciation and not a general critique of whether it's imaginative and entertaining enough to satisfy a lack of imagnation which prompted the question in the first place!? If you don't want obvious, then don't ask obvious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes what is obvious is true!.

There's a thing called "Occam's Razor" which everyone should live by - in summation, it states that the simplest explanation is usually the best one!.

Imagination is essential, but not always the best answer!. You can design a Rube Goldberg machine with 347 steps that take 10 minutes to complete in order to crack your eggs in the skillet, and it will be imaginative!.!.!. but hardly practical or useful, when you can simply crack the eggs by hand in a second!.

Paranoid schizophrenics think up highly imaginative and creative ideas, linking fact to fact with the slimmest of connecting threads!.!.!. but they're still just the fantastic ravings of a mentally ill person!. This shows that even if all your premises are true, you won't necessarily come up with a true conclusion!.

Imagination has its place!. So does the obvious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What is obvious to me is often a complete mystery to the opposable thumb set!. It comes from having opposable ears!. So I should state something really obscure so that you will think I am the "numbnuit" who benighted your answers with the obvious!. (notice the use of the french "nuit" with the word benighted, I had to link it to numb though, because using foreign words and phrases is a violation in Yahoo!.

Why do people over-generalize in all-inclusive queries like "who do people !. !. !.", because, from my point of view, that all-inclusive statement does not include us Ganymedian Slime Molds, and though it may be news to you, we have feelings too!. I seen no relevance in having to slither off into my sulphurous volcanic cavern to once again lick my poor algae-spotted wounds from yet another attempt to exclude me by addressing your questions only to people!. Next time you use the word people, it would do my 6 hearts good if you inserted "and Ganymedian Slime Molds" after the word "people!." Thank you!. May the sluice be with you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Anything but the obvious is waffling, which incidentally I do alot of being a woman :) There is however a time and a place for stating the obvious ie when youre credit on your mobile is running low or the pips have gone on the public phone youre using (blast from the past) or when youre dying!.!.!.!.!.!.!.blah blah blah waffle waffle waffle! By the same token a cuppa and a choc disgestive with your girl friends just wouldn't do without a good old waffle!
Waffling is just a fun way of making boring stuff sound interesting xxWww@QuestionHome@Com

I see you managed to get the old blanket generalisation maker up and running again!. Its been up on blocks for years now as mechanics can never do anything about anything and everyone else is just about useless except for the ones who are out to get you which is all of them all the time!. Watch out for Loosechange as he is one of "them" as is everybody else!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

this appears to be a question! on yahoo answers! on my computer! indeed!

it is because people think too little before they blurt something out, to help contribute to the conversation!. in the short thinking time people allow themselves before speaking their brain doesnt have enough time to register that the other person already knows this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do you know what the definition of an expert is!?

An expert is someone who can take something you already know and confuse you with it!.

Sometimes a simple answer is the best one!. Too much information is almost as bad as too little!. Balance is the key!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends on the level of the persons vocabulary and ability to write, I believe!. There's been many a time I would have liked to answer a question with a little more pizazz!.!.!.!.!.!. unfortunately I wasn't able to, so I just gave a basic answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi!! Because they are shallow minded Jerks that do not know any better, devoid of interlect and ambition!.
2 points at a time is their motivation!.
It gives us something to gripe about though does it not!?!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sense of humour deficiency, I suspect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
