Hi again - thank you for answering all my endless questions. Here is another one. What does this sentence mean: Is it possible to drive a stake in that question?
I know the expression there is much at stake but do you do when you drive a stake?

According to legend, the way to kill a vampire is to drive a wooden stake through his heart. If someone asks if it's possible to drive a stake through a question, it sounds like they think there is something evil about the question, and that it needs to be killed like a vampire.
