I also like to use sarcasm sometimes to "promote creative thinking." But alas I have found during my many years of participating in online chats that many people seem to take things literally - at face value. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing, but I wonder what it says about a predisposition to think creatively.

Did you know that gullible is not in the dictionary?

Statue of Liberty says it all. And, no, it’s not obsolete.
