Ask a Stupid Quetion Get a Stupid Answer

Mr. Robin Parsons asked:
What is it that you don't understand?

Me? oh, you know... life... the universe... everything.

How could I understand?

 

[Another God]

Read Douglas Adams books. They imbue ultimate understanding.

Why does God do bad things to good people? (like killing douglas adams...)

Because you seem to think that all of the Bad people, are already "full up"!

How do we prove that "Another God" is really the center of the Universe??

 

[FZ+]

Alter the universe.
And how do you propose we do that?

We use Bush's fabled "nucular" weapons.

Why did Bush win the election?

The elevtion results were in a quantum superposition. Someone looked at them, causing the superposition to collapse into an observable outcome. In most other alternate universes, Gore won.

At what stage in evolution did humans start shaving?

It happened right after we had both fire and alcohol. It went like this, all the guys were drinking alcohol around the fire and eventually they would try to stand up to releive their bladders, but would fall into the fire burning away all of their beard. After awhile it became a "fashion statement" becuase they figured it sounded better than "drunk idiot".

What?

 

[Another God]

Anything you want Buddy...

How can everyone else think of such good questions still?
(by good I mean stupid)

Where is the elephant's "Birthyard"?

 

[J-Man]

Mr. Robin Parsons asked:
Where is the elephant's "Birthyard"?

Well, you start in Hong Kong and travel by boat eastward until you reach the lair of the Giant Sea Mosquito, take a right (South) and keep going until you see the Cave of Remorse, alcohol is cheap here, so I suggest stopping "for a few". Once properly inebriated, continue the voyage Westward to the Secret Government Tidal Wave Generator & Health Spa. Take another right (North) and eventually you'll get back to Hong Kong and get off that stupid boat. As you can see, I have no idea where the elephant's "Birthyard" is located. I'm not even sure what a "Birthyard" is. I'd ask, but it might not be stupid enough.

Would inquiring what the heck a "Birthyard" is be a stupid question?

Why are elephant birthyards so dangerous?

 

[Mr. Robin Parsons]

Originally asked by Another God
(You know, the OTHER one...)

Why are elephant birthyards so dangerous?

Because they come out back end first, and if you stand in the wrong place you might just become a 'birthing pad'! (Quick, go boil somewater!...and get a towel, you'll need it!)

In the legend of the 'Elephants Graveyard', where was it?

 

[mouseman]

The elephant's graveyard is behind the First Baptist Ele-piscopalian.

What's with all the damn elephants?

 

[Another God]

Wool.

Why do elephants have four feet?

 

[Mr. Robin Parsons]

Originally asked by Another God

Why do elephants have four feet?

Because, it was a "hands down" decision!

Why do elephants (let go Wuliheron!) have four Knees?

 

[selfAdjoint]

Four knees a jolly good fallow.

Why are elephants Republican?

 

[Ben-CS]

Actually, "Republicans" is a subset of "Elephants"; so, all Republicans are Elephants, but not all Elephants are Republicans.

When the Democrats ask a stupid question, why are the Republicans so eager to give a stupid answer. (Or visa versa.)

It's a constant struggle, for one side to look dumber than the other, and thus win majority votes.

What does it mean for a society to be "civilized"?

What does it mean for a society to be "civilized"?

I don't know about you; but, I'm beginning to think it means nothing.


What does it mean for a society to be "nothing"?

 

[Mentat]

It means for it to be civilised (according to your post).

What would it mean for a society to be uncivilized (based on our previous definition)?

 

[Manuel_Silvio]

It is that every member of the society has found her/his soulmate so they will melt into each other and offset each other's effect thus leading to an effect known as RB-LP syndrome (perhaps only energy radiating around in quanta or buckets depending on the observer).

How can you find your soulmate?

PS: I like Richard Bach.

I think the dumbest answer I've heard to this question is "stop looking" (what really bothers me is that people think they're being wise, by answering this way . However, I'd just like it to be known, that this answer is not of my own originality.

What happens if you eat an inverted palindrome?

Ben-CS asked:

A little while later you, umm, "recycle" an inverted paliindrome.

What's a better way of saying "take a dump" other than "recycle"?

 

[Ben-CS]

Almost anyway at all.

Does the expression; "Putting ones nose to the Grindstone" ever need to be taken literally?

 

[J-Man]

Mr. Robin Parsons asked:

Only when Mrs. Grindstone needs to check if it's time to remind her husband to take a shower.

Why does Mr. Grindstone abhor showering so much?

 

[Manuel_Silvio]

Because he will be eroded -that comes from Eros- by water.

Ummm... no, probably not. In fact, I'm quite sure that it will not. That was cute though.
Does the 'Parsons to English Dictionary' rhyme the definitions?

It depends on how drunk the user is.

On average have the questions in PF 2.0 been stupider then those in PF 3.0 have been, or is it the other way around?

Originally posted by climbhi

The MSQ (mean stupidity quotient) of the quetions on PF2 were rated on a scale of 1 to 10 and amazingly were ranked at -437.2. That can be roughly translated as meaning "Never before found levels of stupidity." If we were to compare this score with the current MSQ rating of the PF3 quetions, which would be kinda like comparing apples to other kinds of apples, we find that these questions, on a scale of 0 to 9, for some reason, have been rated a nominal -42. This could be interrpreted as meaning only "Embarrasingly stupid." Reflecting on this data, the answer to the question escapes me at this time.

Does a really long answer qualify as a stupid answer, or must it be genuinely stupid no matter the length?

 

[climbhi]

I think the most geniunely stupid answers, or at least those with the highest MSQ are the exceedingly short, yet unbelievably stupid answers.

This begs the question, what's better a very short answer that is just embarissingly stupid, or a somewhat longer question but which is on a level of never before seen stupidity.

Yes, most assuredly, positively, you got it!


If climbhi knew "The man from Nantucket" rhyme, would he tell the rest of us, in due time?

 

[Manuel_Silvio]

She/he actually mimes all those rhymes from far ancient times but if you give two dimes, believe me, they'll be much better than limes to which the word rhymes - that you've used so many times - well rhymes... (the maker of these rhymes who lost her/his life in old times did hear them listening to wind chimes)...

Why those rhymes from far ancient times chose to settle down in wind chimes?
