    Stupid
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a playful and humorous exchange in a new forum, encouraging participants to ask "stupid questions" and receive equally silly answers. Participants engage in lighthearted banter, often incorporating puns and wordplay, such as discussing the time it might take to reach 1,000 posts or the best superpower, with self-levitation being a favorite. Questions range from the absurd, like the fate of old forums, to whimsical inquiries about elephants and the universe. The tone is irreverent, with users joking about the nature of their questions and the concept of "stupidity" in their responses. The thread serves as a space for creative and nonsensical dialogue, emphasizing fun over seriousness.

Because they experience the anti-gravitational effects of Beer, hence wandering about as if it used no energy, running off at the mouth because of the reduction in friction, falling down because of the extra strength of there beer enhanced muscles, and floating because of all of the Beer gas inside of them.

No, it means that the guy who used-to-be the Trapo ("Trapo" is slang for "Trapeze Artist") has not yet arrived. It always pisses off the circus manager.

Can I buy a vowel?

Can I buy a vowel?

Well, the price of a vowel, as I am sure you well know, has recently been subjected to fluctuations in the International global monetary marketplaces, hence it's value has become an exceedingly difficult assesment due to the logistics of the finacial arrangements required for such a vast transfer of funds as to ensure that it would be much simpler if you could replace the need of the said Vowel, with a constanant, elseif Yes, $0.42 (cents) please!

That's the normal reaction when one realizes that, instead of the fresh cup of coffee, he just drank his denture cleaner. Nothing to worry about.

Is it better to have a stereo with a volume control that goes to 10, a volume control that goes to 20, or should it just have as many lights as possible?

My vote goes for having as many lights as possible, especially a really annoying great big bright one meant to remind the owner to TURN THAT CRAP DOWN !


Should we pity those who turn their car stereos up so loud, without wearing hearing protection, and freely pitch into buy them hearing aids at some point down the road?

No, we should get them missles. The kind of missles that have flames coming out of the back end with a high velocity in the direction of the loud "music", (unless it's Zeppelin of course.) Either that or we should find a way of using all that audio energy to propel our vehicles... hey, if it can make my car bounce up and down 100 feet away, it should be able to make it bounce up and down and move forward.

How many feet per beat could your vehicle go if the propelling stereo has a really good sub-woofer?

Originally asked by J-Man

Well seeing as the sonic volume per unit squared is in-equvalent to the tweeter subsets accoustic velocity, the number of feet per beat is co-relationally independant of the sub-woofer, as per the tweeter harmonic that fundamentally begats the requsite propulsive drive spacing as per the interactivety of the volume per unit of ear squared, hence we would find that the most basic calculation of Ft/beat needs to be functioned proportianately to the realtivity of the persons listening to the sound as that is inversely squared to the woofers tweetability.

So it probably works out to, about, 42 ! (unless it is Zeppelin, then is the exponent of that)

Actually, it's not a Greek term at all, it was coined by some Italian kid. You see, his mother asked who broke the vase, and he said "a-not-a-me".

No, it just has gas. Dropping a few Tums into the volcano should make it feel better.

If the Earth had no moon how would you tell if you were a werewolf?

Your canines would hurt everytme the sun set.

The hair on your body would grow constantly, at night.

Your fingernails would be claw like in the evenings.

Your urge to ululate would drive you batty.

And the need to lift a leg at trees would indicate your true canine (K-9) nature!

Why does the double-negative in the phrase, "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch", not switch to a positive (i.e. "There is such a thing as a free lunch")?

Actually it does, all you need do is double negate your income, and you too can be a homeless person who enjoys(?) a free lunch(s).
(Signed; one who knows, nudge, nudge, wink, wink!)


Since there is actually such a thing as a free lunch, why don't more people take avail/inhale of it??

EDIT for space(ing)

While I see nothing wrong with taking inhale of it (whatever that means), I don't think you could fit a full lunch into "a vail".

Forgive my digression from the question-answer chain but, what are you referring to, when you say "both of them"?

A commonality of humor, inasmuch as there is, in humanity, a 'common thread of thought' that goes both ways, (friendly and malicious) in seeing either of those entities, as acting, as if they were "Gods".

But I ascribe to the attempt at humor only, forgive the digression, (no harm done) and apologize for any misgivings/perceptions of malice.

But, (to contiue...) am I truly sorry? (Sincere?)

Of course not, don't be silly.
Well, okay, be silly, but be silly in a proactive, pragmatic, and 7 other big words, way.

Or should you be silly in a proactive, pragmatic, and 8 other big words way?
