I didn't think it was possible, yet they did it. Another sort of silly one while I try to think up some better ones. | ||

They=humans? animals? animate objects? inanimate objects? real? fictional? dead? alive? male? female? Would most people think "it" wasn't possible if they hadn't seem them do it? Was the thing they did something that seemed to defy logical rules? physical laws? time constraints? did they do something faster than seemed possible? slower? better? worse? more easily? Did "they" think it was possible before they did it? | ||

They=humans?Yes animals?No. real?Yes. fictional? No. dead? alive?Could be either currently dead or alive, not realy relevent. male? female? Irrelevent. Would most people think "it" wasn't possible if they hadn't seem them do it? Yope. Was the thing they did something that seemed to defy logical rules?No, physical laws?Yope. time constraints? No.did they do something faster than seemed possible? slower? better?Yope. worse?Yope. more easily? Irrel. Did "they" think it was possible before they did it? Yes, I think. | ||

Relevent how many "they" are? if so, how many...1, 2, insert list of numbers here...? better? Yope. worse? Yope.--did they perform better at something most people would consider bad, therefore they were best at being worst? (does that make sense?) Was what they did a physical feat? Mental? If physical, did it require strength? speed? flexibility? coordination? superior sight? hearing? smell? taste? Did they eat/consume anything? Were any objects involved? If you went up to a random person on the street and told them that so and so just did such and such...would their likely reaction be disbelief? suprise? denial? happiness? disgust? anger? indifference? concern? Is it likely they would already have known? | ||

"Are any pieces of technology used while doing that thing? Yes."

Or a group some people automatically belong to, like because of their belief, job, etc.? Did this happen at a specific (and relevant) place? | ||

It often makes it hard to answer questions, so we put FA. Grown rather than built?No. Anything to do with clones?Nope, afraid not.

OK, let's try to find out the FA: Are we looking for a type of tangible item? which is made of metal, plastic and rubber? which has levers? which serves a function? Does the yope on "is it a door?" mean that it has a door but is more than a door? that it is a door-like structure not usually referred to as "door"? Do the yopes on "do you usually find it on the floor etc.?" mean that you can usually find this thing in more than one of these places? Is there a part of it in each of these places? Do you find it in differnet places when you visit different homes? Can you see it from the outside of the house? Is its design important to most people? Does the thing show pictures? These have probably already been covered, but just to be sure: Does it consume electricity? Does it consume some sort of fuel? Does it do something with water? And a few shots in the dark: heater? oven? air conditioning? some kind of pipes? plumbing? TV? fridge? freezer? window shutter? | ||

you're welcome. Kitchen? Living Room? Dining Room? Bedroom? Closet? Bathroom? Family Room? Office? I'm imagining the tiniest of studio apartments, the ones where you feel like if you walk into the kitchen, you may not have room to turn around to get back out again--or the bathrooms where you can sit on the toilet and touch every wall, yet someone always manages to make it even more compact to the point that it's hardly functional. Is this the idea here? | ||

Mobile home?Yes! Commonly refered to as camper. Winibago? Spoiler!!! So we had this camper for years, with such a tiny bathroom, that I was sure that you could not make a functional bathroom smaller. Lo and behold, the new camper we got recently had an even smaller batheroom in it. You can barely fit an adult/human/male or female in it. I did not think it possible, but it was done. And now we have to live with it whan camping. Thanks to all for playing. Special kudos to Beccaann for dispelling that lingering FA and the bathroom part, Crazypalpig for determination, and Plebein for the spoiler! |
