One question of your life time. What question do you ask?

[Guru]

If you could get an answer to one question you want to ask, what question would you ask? Let's say you ask this question almost at the end of your life. (otherwise, people will start posting the stock price, lotto number, and etc).
PS. I think most of the answers would be "others."

[the soldier in white]

At the end of your life I'd have thought something along the lines of 'Is there life after death?' would be the obvious choice.

[Guru]

At the end of your life I'd have thought something along the lines of 'Is there life after death?' would be the obvious choice.

But, you would find that out soon, as this question is at your death bed.

[the soldier in white]

Good point, but I don't think I'd be that interested in anything else at that stage all the same.

[SteadyRollingMan]

Origin of the Universe, would be my question.

[alongdriver]

I would ask....

Can I eat just one Lay's potato chip?

Or

Can I really believe it is not butter?

Depends on the day. For example, this weekend I might be inclined to ask... "How does redjack know a TV's coochie doesn't self lubricate and that you can bottom out?"

[Kaonashi]

Whatever the question is, the answer is bound to be "43."

[Gaijin 06]

Whatever the question is, the answer is bound to be "43."

The answer is 42.

[davai.davai]

Looking for answers, not questions;
or presented differently, Whatever the question beware the answer

[Kaonashi]

The answer is 42.

Ah, but that was before intergalactic inflation. Dark energy and all that - you know how it goes.

[Chromedome]

Ah, but that was before intergalactic inflation. Dark energy and all that - you know how it goes.

Outergalactic deflation of course.

[Kaonashi]

Outergalactic deflation of course.

Nope, nope; call it 'intergalactic' or 'cosmic', in either case, it is inflation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_inflation That, and death and taxes, is all we can hope for - but it beats wallowing in the mud waiting for ones' house to be crushed.

You're all wrong..........

[Guru]

You're all wrong..........

That is a wrong answer, so totally wrong.

[Beach Bum]

Did life down here, begin out there? But, the answer would probably be 42 (adjusted for inflation of course)

[stillnosheep]

You're all wrong..........

But what was the question?

[Guru]

But what was the question?

Exactly. On that front, that was wrong as well. It was not a question, but a statement.

[thenoie]

at the end of my life, i would guess the question would be why now?

[Beach Bum]

But what was the question?

What do you get when you multiply nine by six? Pulled blindly from a bag of scrabble tiles...

[stillnosheep]

Exactly. On that front, that was wrong as well. It was not a question, but a statement.

Or rather, it wasn't "not a question, but a statement"; but rather "not an answer but a statement", or, more specifically, "not an answer but a claim", or, even more specifically, "not an answer but a claim that Christ, indeed, is the answer". Which did, indeed, beg the question that at least one question existed for which Christ was the answer. But what was the question?
