I thought I read that grapefruit can also cause problems with certain ones

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.

The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.

Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.

I'm totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.

What's your NAme

How OLD (are you)?

Where are you FROm?

Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?

I know. I was just making a joke about how he pulled a "bean soup"

Where can you really draw the line? Could you survive in space without any air or equipment? Even if you could, where did the equipment and air come from?

Photosynthetic organisms are for all practical purposes part of your lungs

What part of the second statement is wrong? A turtle cannot survive without its shell, just like you could not survive without your skull. It is an intrinsic part of what allows it to function as a living organism, therefore the line between "turtle" and "shell" is a bit blurred

Ever tried Project 1999?

But do you know who DIDN'T need to shriek their head off?

Haha, I can totally read it in his voice now

Ta-ta and farewell

I know how big letters are!
