My Gravatar wears the "My Dear Watson" hat from the Winter Bash.
I don't know all the answers I give off the top of my head. Many of them I search for online or use an index.

What’s Doctor Who doing in the Talmud? @Yirmeyahu "He" in Hebrew is "who." We (or they) must be dealing with a person who refers to himself in the third person. (That reminds me of this video.) |

Is there a prohibition to live in a Moshav? One might try to bring a proof from "ומושב בני ישראל אשר ישבו במצרים," but in reality one can't say that because אין למדין מן קודם מתן תורה. |

Why do people drink expensive alcohol on purim? Seriously, this might be answered by what the Bi'ur Halachah writes 695:2 that the whole miracle was done with wine; see there. |

Why do people drink expensive alcohol on purim? Is this based on a pun of "whining"? |

About what were rabbis ahead of the times? @andrewmh20 If you were asking me what I mean, I meant that just because happiness has a positive physical effect doesn't mean it was the reason we are supposed to be happy, because the mitzvos were not given for our physical benefit. We find this law by someone who swears not to receive benefit from another person that he can still hear the megilah from him and other similar things because hearing the megilah is not "benefit," because mitzvos were not given for our benefit. |

“Rabbi, teach me something new” Rabbi Schwab (in Rav Schwab on Prayer in the commentary to Adon Olam) quotes Rabbi Shim'on Sofer (son of the Chasam Sofer) as asking Rabbi Shlomoh Zalman Breuer to relate a piece of Torah from his father-in-law, Rabbi Shimshon Refa'el Hirsch. That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. |

How should I choose a Muktzah Klaf? A Sefer Torah is an Avi Avos HaMuktzeh; whatever touches it becomes an Av HaMuktzeh, and so on. |
