Where is the elephant's "Birthyard"?
 
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?

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?

Why do elephants have four feet?

Because, it was a "hands down" decision!

Why do elephants (let go Wuliheron!) have four Knees?
 
Four knees a jolly good fallow.

Why are elephants Republican?
 
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"?
 
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)?
 
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.

Your question was stupid, of course. (See thread title.)

What happens if you eat an inverted palindrome?
 
Ben-CS asked:
What happens if you eat an inverted palindrome?
A little while later you, umm, "recycle" an inverted paliindrome.

What's a better way of saying "take a dump" other than "recycle"?
 
Almost anyway at all.

Does the expression; "Putting ones nose to the Grindstone" ever need to be taken literally?
 
Mr. Robin Parsons asked:
Does the expression; "Putting ones nose to the Grindstone" ever need to be taken literally?
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?
 
Because he will be eroded -that comes from Eros- by water.

What relation is there betwenn erosion and Eros?
