- | + | Often [[The Brothers Chaps]] will leave some curious '''questions''' unanswered in their toons. This page was created as a database for these circulating questions, as well as a place to gather questions to ask The Brothers Chaps, if you were to ever get the chance. They're also here in the hopes that a fellow user will have some inside info or firsthand knowledge, and can answer a few of them for us. To a lesser extent, there is also the hope that The Brothers Chaps might one day (or already have) stumbled upon this list, and perhaps feel inclined to answer them either in their toons or elsewhere. Feel free to add any questions that might be bugging you in the correct section. If you find a question has already been answered, mention it on the [[HRWiki talk:Questions|talk page]], along with a reason and reference why/where it was answered. | |
