    Did ancient aliens build the Parthenon and the Coliseum? And my house? And the Burj Khalifa? Who do you think was more likely to have been ancient aliens: the Greeks, or the Arabs? Which planet are the Chinese from? Did they come from a different planet than the Japanese?

    Is it too late to date Cleopatra?

    Do Iraqis and Mexicans with mustaches look indistinguishable from each other? Could Saddam Hussein have fled Iraq and escaped to Mexico where he could have disguised himself as a mariachi guitarist? Do Mexicans and Iraqis know about each others' foods and spices? Is it possible for Mexico to annex Iraq or vice versa? What would the province of Iraq be called if it became a part of Mexico? Would Mexico and Iran become the best of friends or the worst of enemies in the aftermath?

    Is that how the Eyrabs got the Sitar? They stole it from a Mariachi?

    If Arabs and Indians play sitars, does that mean they sit down while playing guitars? If Greeks play lyres, does that mean that they're liars? My brother plays the drums and can play a little bass as well. Does that mean he is an African American, despite both his parents (our parents) being fully European in origin?

    Should I get plastic surgery to look like Phil Collins?

    How many boxes of donuts should I limit myself to in a day?

    Were Finnish people originally from another planet?

    Do the bureaucratic elite in Beijing cook and eat General Tso's Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken, served with a side of fortune cookies?

    Who do companies send out those ade people on the street that twirl signs? In 2019 most of the sign twirlers are in their retirement age which makes me think that the companies they hire are and I avoid them. Why do companies still think sign twirlers on the side of the street accomplish anything?

    Obviously, everyone should!

    Hard limits are no good! You must eat with moderation, that way, you can eat as many boxes a day, or even an hour, you wish.

    No, they are Humans from Earth, however, their language is indeed alien, from the planet of Suomenkielia, brought by a race of sentient Reindeers, lead by a mysterious white-bearded, fat person, fully clad in red.

    If an actual Chinese asks if you have a favorite Chinese dish, and you say that General Tso's Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken, served with a side of fortune cookies, are your favorites, will they feel honored, or will they demonstrate their knowledge of Kung-Fu?

    They will lop off your head for dishonoring them.

    Why does the sign twirler phenomenon only exist in America? Is this late stage capitalism? Do we need communism?

    Was Karl Marx very communal or was he kind of a bookish shut-in? He's no longer alive. Did somebody eat him?

    Is it possible to eat forum posts on TWC? Only if they're communist ones or all of them in general?

    Uh oh, does that mean I no longer have the ability to apply for a Visa to the People's Republic of China?
    Does that mean I can no longer make friends with a Terracotta Warrior?
    Do I have to be racist against the Chinese now that China hates me?
    If Chinese people in mainland China can't even access social media like Twitter or Facebook, is it possible I could come out of this unscathed with most Chinese people not knowing of my grave offense towards their nation and ethnos?

    Was Chico Marx related to Karl Marx ?

    Is ancient Egypt located in Greece?

    Do ancient Phoenicians come from Oregon or Washington state?

    Why did ancient Chinese emperors drink liquid mercury? I hear it's because they thought it was an elixir for eternal youth, but couldn't it also be because they wanted to turn themselves into giant thermometers to calculate the temperature and forecast the weather? The ancient Chinese were really inventive like that, weren't they?

    Did I just burp, or did you just fart?

    Can humans produce cow farts? Or does it take a cow to do that?

    Why am I typing? Why aren't you typing? Shouldn't you be the one typing this and I the one reading it? Why are you being so lazy? I have to type everything for you now? Jeez.
