Isn't the question mark supposed to be outside the quotations when citing something in this context?
No, it always goes inside. My lit teacher told me that last week.
Either you misunderstood, or your teacher fails (not too uncommon when it comes to English teachers).
Skyone did not say "even?", he said "even". If he had asked a question, then the question mark would have gone in the quotes. But as you said it, you implied that he had asked a question.

Well, before I posted I had a mental debate on how I should do it, and decided on putting it inside.
lol, benol, its not that I really have anything against you personally, I just hate it when you criticize everyone else and you make your own mistakes. If you would just shut up completely about anything concerning grammar or spelling (even your own), you would be likely a lot more around here.

Later on when they moved they gave it to my sister. It's really fat, like 16 pounds. There's loads of photos of it on her Myspace.

Ummm.. What?
