Bizarre Or Pointless Questions That Have Always Puzzled You.

randomhandclaps

Occasionally when doing something a bit mundane a series of odd, pointless questions repeatedly pop into my head.  A lot of the time they aren't provable but still that linger waiting for a quiet moment to start an inner debate.

Here's one (and any thoughts or input on this are very welcome) -

If a person tried to beat another person to death with a pillow, would the attacker die of exhaustion before succeeding?

Anyone else have any bizarre questions that you feel the need to share?

It's highly unlikely as it would require both participants to die at the same time.

Actually even that doesnt satsify the criteria...you'd need the attacker to die first and as they fell to land the killing blow. Seems really unlikely to me.

No, he's asking if you tried, would you die before you succeeded. Mutual death isn't necessary.

Yes it is, otherwise you would have died without succeeding, or succeeded without dying.
