comment Literature: Which Macbeth character said these words: 'Fair is foul, and foul is fair.'?
Downvoting for low research since this can be found by searching an electronic copy of Macbeth -- and there are copies online for free.

comment How Things Work: How does a car work?
Great on-topic example. Many of you are insisting one should just ask about the individual parts, but an explanation of the individual parts cannot replace an explanation of the whole. You can tell me how engines, steering, exhaust, drive shafts etc can work, but you can never tell me how a car works without some simple explanation linking the components together. There is nothing wrong with simple explanations if you can tell someone "I recommend you ask separately about the specifics of how engines, steering, exhaust etc works."

comment Code Review: Why are closures a bad idea?
@Josh: It would be perfect on Programmers.SE, with an edit: "Are closures a bad idea?". The presumption is left for the question body where the asker can say "I have read that closures are X etc."
