Rules: - The Game Master (the one who won the last game) selects a person (NPC), place or thing in-game related. - The players then ask yes or no questions to try to discover the person, place or thing. However, the Game Master does have the right to go beyond a simple yes or now answer if necessary. For example: "I'm not sure" or "Probably" or "Yes, but be careful because that's misleading." - Players must ask only one question per post and must not try to be sneaky by squeezing in two or more questions at once. - A player may ask a new question as soon as his or her last question has been answered. - The Game Master MUST answer all questions to the best of their ability no matter how stupid (doo doo, ducks, etc),. provided the question conforms to the rules above. - The Game Master should post recaps of answers from time to time. Once a page is a good idea. - Once a player guesses the correct answer he or she gets to host the next game or can designate someone else to host it. Make a separate thread and we will let this one die. That way we can keep track of when one game ends and another begins. Keep numbering the pages as we go along. - If a player wins and does not start another game within 24 hours of winning the last person to guess before him or her gets to host the next game. - If the Game Master does not respond within 24 hours to any posts then anyone may feel free to start the next round.

I'm leaning towards no, but in the absence of measurements or a side-by-side comparison, I could be wrong.
That would depend on the speed of the bus. If the bus were parked, yes. If both were moving at an average (for each) speed, no. (Well, arguably it would also depend on the speed of the not-a-bus, since it's possible for not-a-bus to be stationary while the bus is moving.)
Is it safe to assume that if this thing could be an oven it would choose to be a wood burning iron stove rather than a gas or electric range?
No. While I can't really know if it would make that choice, I think that if such a choice were to occur to it, it's more likely than not that "What stove shall I be?" would result in a wood burning stove based on the types and styles of stoves with which it is more likely familiar.
