¿Question #221577?
Woelf: Train A leaves San Jose, CA, at 12:45 PM local time, heading North at 50 mph (80 kph). It is carrying 75 turtles, trained as service and emotional support animals. Train B leaves Soldatna, AK at 6:30 AM local time, travelling due South at 45 mph (72 kph), carrying 137 freshly-caught penguins, to be sold as pets. Both trains have been given orders to proceed without stopping, and have been given clearance to to ignore all signs and crossing. At what time, and in what location, did you first realize that this question is completely ridiculous? Was it the penguins in Alaska, was it the turtles as service animals, the fact that travelling due South from Soldatna puts you in the Pacific ocean (eventually), was it because there aren't any rail lines in Soldatna, nor any that connect Alaska to the rail network in Canada or the contiguous United States, or was it because this was just a convoluted reference to one or more people involved in the GQNSSS?

rayzg: There's a San Jose train? The last time I was on a work trip to the Bay Area, the BART train didn't go to San Jose! I had to rent a car, which was a bit intimidating for me as I don't own one and drive about once a year.
RavingLoon: Wait, I know this one! You've been kidnapped by DaKarpian agents for GQing too much, and you are trying to provide us covert directions to your holding cell! Don't worry, we're coming for you!
magikaru: Is the San Jose train leaving today? I’ve still got a few hours to catch it!!
mattomaw: 42.
Woelf: Shea gets the secret bonus point for the totally-intentional-and-definitely-not-an-accidentally-repeated-typo reason! (Don't worry, it's spelled correctly on the actual address label. The turtles are safe!)

Woelf: Shea gets it! (Don't worry, it's spelled correctly on the actual address label.)
Woelf: Shea gets it!
0Shea0: It was the misspelling of Soldotna......those poor turtles are gonna be lost in the mail!!!!
Blinko: Without Sea World, the need to feed pet penguins to killer whales makes this whole scenario moot.
MABBY: "I like turtles!"
TomTi89: Hold on. You can't complain about Robin's question being odd, and then ask this.
pricero1: It's so obvious that you're talking about Pat!
