Zen masters may answer a question in an unexpected fashion. I remember reading about one chap (Danish I think he was) who spent time in a Zen Monastery and had asked a Zen master some convoluted question about the reason for existence. The Master had simply poured the contents of the teapot on to the tatami mat, before nodding wisely.
