It's sad the comedy of it escapes you. I think it's a refreshing aside
from some of the more serious consequences of not doing it right. It has
the additional advantage of folks remembering the item in question. Some
of their speculations are rather creative (some even "logical"), and,
undoubtedly, the collaboration of several people. Surely, you have not
believed that those answers were the actual responses of the people in
question.
You did catch, didn't you, that the guy who "can't figure cout what it is
so he asks the other guys" is also the one who has the answer?
Or maybe your post was as tongue-in-cheek as their absurd answers?

It's tough to tell for sure, sometimes...I had my doubts, and wouldn't
have responded directly, but did via another respondent...
I'm not sure whether your sense is they are humorous or not, but to me
they've been universally so lame as to be almost embarrassing to watch.
I'm thinking they probably hate the producer that dreamed it up... :)

But apparently not any funnier. I really thought the satire of my post was
self-evident enough that I didn't need to include a smilie face. But after
three posts (so far) explaining to me that the "What Is It?" is suposed to
be humorous (yes, I know it is), I guess I shouldn't take anything for
granted. :)
