I see! So, it is now my turn to ask a stupid quetion. Perhaps this question:
Suppose I make an upside down family tree. I appear at the top, my two parents below, their parents are shown below that, etc. etc. Then at the nth place there are 2^(n-1) people. But for n = 34 this exceeds the current World population and 34 generations back there were far fewer people than there are today. So, what is wrong?

At some point in the family tree you will have ancestors from West Virginia USA, where inbreeding among family members is common practice. (Note, part of the game is to come up with a stupid answer

We need to conserve and use the energy at least for that matter that nobody else gets it.
My class bought computers to learn on them. So, if there are 3 computers on table and you take one pc away, how many computers are left on the table?

My turn: How do I create test data? (I have actually been asked this question before)

One does not create test data from thin air, of course, since it's subject to the usual conservation laws. One must convert some other form of data into test data. In practice, test data is most frequently harvested from old phone books or outdated dictionaries or from the copy on cereal boxes.
Recently some test data I harvested from an Alka-Seltzer Plus package indicated that if you jump a photon and wrestle it into its back it will go into a sort of hypnotic stupor and won't bite you. I was pleased, because, of course, that's completely consistent with GR.
How, though, do I stop the squishy noise in my left ear when I swallow?
