No question's stupid. Well, maybe some questions. I'll see if these are. And 
then I'll answer them anyway.

My Magic 8-Ball (TM) says yes.

Shouldn't "How can I take the function as input."[sic] be in the form of a 
question?
Hmmm. This will, unless "a" has a predetermined value, will return 
g(g(g(g(g(g(g(a))))))))) in the place of the variable. The only way around 
this is to come up with a rational answer by using a number in place of a. 
It'll work, though... I think.

You lied to us. Those weren't stupid, just common(at least the first one 
was...)
