Do you think they will respond to this?

What if you ask them if they're alive and they respond 'no', does that mean they're alive or dead?

Won't that mean that they're just pulling your leg(s)?

If they respond no and pull your leg, does that mean they're a zombie?

Aren't zombies incapable of communicating verbally?

Can't you wait to find out until you read my book My Life Among the Zombies, which is currently making its rounds to literary agents?

If your attention span is that short, shouldn't you just twitter?

Are you trying to sabotage the conversation?

Couldn't they be both? Couldn't sabotage just come naturally to some people?

Are you trying to sabotage this thread by asking two questions at once?

Writeterri started the thread off with the rule, "You can only respond to the question with another question?"; does that rule leave you with the opinion that multiple questions in a response are acceptable?
