    THAT is a rhetorical question.

    A few thread titles here have the word “rhetorical” in them,and I don’t think it’s what the OP meant.

    Other rhetorical questions are:

    Do you know what time it is??

    Are you KIDDING??

    And if someone told you to jump off the Empire State Building,you would do it??

    In other words:

    A question you are not expecte to answer literally.

    Also rhetorical:

    Are you crazy?

    Are you SERIOUS?

    Do you need your head examined?

    Have you lost your mind?

    DO YOU REALLY POST ON TOTALLY MEANINGLESS THREADS???

    watermelon; Also. A rhetorical question is expressed by an exclamation mark at the end. Someone (I think it was Metrodriver) wrote a definition for a Rhetorical question. That is, where you know the answer, but you’re trying to make a point.
