This thread is for asking any questions that might seem obvious, tangential, silly or what-have-you. Don't be shy, everyone has holes in their knowledge, though the fewer and the smaller we can make them, the better.

To any future monthly posters of SQ threads, please remember to add the "stupid_questions" tag.
