Doctor Livingstone, I presume?

0 Hi Guys, 02br
00These are Stanley's famous words on finding the missing Dr. Livingstone. 02br
02br
00Here's the puzzle. It's not invented by me, it was an entry that I liked in a newspaper humour competition here. 02br
02br
00If the answer is 'DR. LIVINGSTONE I PRESUME', 02br
00then what is the question? 02br
02br
00Best wishes, 02br

0 Hi, 02br
00For background on who Stanley and Livingstone were, please refer to the thread 'Doctor Livingstone, I presume?' in the General English Grammar Forum. 02br
02br
00Hint: It's a funny answer, not a serious one (Well, I think so) 02br

0 Would the question be: 02br
00Whose mangled body are those hungry lions eating? 02br
02br
00In which case the guy who answers 'DR. LIVINGSTONE I PRESUME' was not the doctor but one of his groupies who just happened to be able run faster than the rest. 02br

0 I thought it had something to do with the name of "Livingstone". But I've played and played with the name and still can't come up with anything. I'm "riddle-challenged". [:^)] 0-

0 In that case, Woodward, shouldn't it be "Dr Livingstone'S I presume"? 0-

0 Hi, 02br
00A further hint: 02br
00I gave you the answer and asked you what the question would be. For purists, the answer I gave you sounds slightly more accurate when spoken than when written. 02br
