    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.

It might be useful yes, insofar as being heard, but to produce quality output it would be a fairly gross way to go about it... might i suggestion you inflect the voice instead.

You know, it's funny you should ask that quetion because once, when I was recovering from Fish Jelly poisoning, it ocured to me that the fish they made the jelly from might have been stung by a jelly fish, which wouldn't have been the fish's fault. So, why don't jelly fish sting themselves? The reason is they don't care to. They sting other fish. It's a fish sting fish ocean.

Allow me to interpolate one of the most famous stupid quetions in film history: Walter Brennan from To Have And Have Not:

Very close, yes very close, I have in fact been stung[/color] by a soon-to-be-dead bee... I have also bitten a beetroot, been hit on by a deadbeat, and take my coffee with milk and sugar. raw cane, if available.

Which are better, string beans or things that have been but have not been strung?

So, "String a song of six beans, pockets in a row, how many beans, been 'beened', by the stringing out, we know,...tell a tale of stringy things, strung out in a thread, and all the while you'll find a 'ditty', in everything you've read!..."

What the heck is a 'ditty'??

A ditty serves to dance around a deed, in rhythmic patterns strung is every bead... of dew, that glistens from the starlit lawn, until the Queen moves into take the pawn.

It is impossible to predict what a Zooby may or may not notice, but the Quetion itself may interfere with the observable result.

Was it the intent of SuperMentor Tom to test the Heisenberg principle on Zoobyshoe?

Yes, it was, and in the process I learned that the eigenstates of firefly span a Hilbert space that overlap with the eigenstates of zoobyshoe, and thus firefly and zoobyshoe are noncommuting observables.

It depends on whether or No T you're falling over in the woods at the time. (Caused by stubbing your T.o.E.)

If a Supermentor posts four times in a thread, and there isn't a zooby around to see it, did he really post?

Zoob, this is he stupid quention forum thread, you are supposed to ASK A QUENTION!

If someone writes, and there is no one there to read it, is it still legible?

All writing, no matter how inscrutable, automatically becomes perfectly legible when there is no one there to read it, yes.Will Mr. Robin Parsons be able to read this quetion with his dirty glasses?

  • #884

Perhaps the quention[/color] asked herein
Is not the kind that saw this thread begin
Perhaps our zooby's wonderin'
When Mr. Parsons might rethink his quetion[/color]in'

Or... maybe he can only think of real smart questions, and no stupid quetions (let alone quentions or exquinctions or quantumptions...)

(Ok... the truth is, firefly doesn't know. ...boooo hooo hooo ...i have no clooooo hooo hoooo )

Does a quention make one less thirsty (n.b. this however is a quetion)?

Yes, if answered, it gives the "drink of knowledge"...unless properly answered, then it give the gift of laughter

Why is it a quention, as oppposed to a question?

i supppppose there munt be an ulterior untension to distinguish from the anking of a reqular question ... but more elusive to me is the absence of a quetion when aking one could not be simpler.

The threaded thistle is used because no one has found a better, cheaper substitute. That's what for.

I most often have it in a bowl, but truly I'm not too preferential and will happily eat it out of any number of receptacles including, but not limited to, cups, flat plates, pots or pans (non-stick or aluminum or stainless steel or...), paper cones, icecream cones, giant oyster or abalone shells, cone shells, pine cones, pine needles, needle threaders, threaded thistles... ok i am exaggerating. indeed, this is a silly sketch. and now for something completely different:

Well, in a nutshell she might just about conidificate just about every conificadation that there is to be conifikiditatted, conically speaking to all those who have the mind to know of the cone, AKA coneheadednesses'alanessie's ("Bar and Grill' I hear) hence we would find the ergo that would lead us to a therefore of unalterable cyclindrical novelty inthertheraftertheeof we proceed into the conifikidation of all conificadationally spoken cones, (Jumps up and down, in salutations) herafter24 we proceeded, cause that's about how many cones are conified by She/i.

So now, what number was that?

Well "molarity" must be out of the question, followed by that other thingy there "Grama's Mole" or sumthing liken that, so how many moles does it take to make a molehill, bout a mountains worth, I'da herd, but you should have seen her a chewing that there nut, still in that avocado too just a chompin and a bitein, Ooooops that was the Dog...o.k. what was the answer again, I mean question oh Ya, that Avogadroes guy thing, useing a calculators a good way, I heard...and a scale, a really really accurate one.

You know, it's funny you should ask that quetion, because once, when a polish aviator of my acquaintence had just returned from a hard day's night hauling Christmas presents to the poverty stricken daughters of coal miners, his rosey, alcoholic nose happened to be running, and since he was too cold or drunk to realize it, the moist patch running from his nostrils to his upper lip was soon darkened by the coal dust floating in the air of the little West Virginia community such that there did arise a certain Rudolf/Adolf confusion about his appearance.Once I was floating aimlessly on my back in a canal in Venice, Italy, with a photograph of Ludwig Van Beethoven propped up on my stomach facing me where I could keep an eye on the pesky, ill tempered composer, when a man came floating by in a similar arrangement except that he was supervising a photograph of ill tempered Russian composer, Igor Stravinski. Which of us was right?

Just finished discussing this with some Drunken Polish aviator of an aquaintence of, well, someone else, (other then myself) and was told that neither were right,...one was 'aft', and the other was 'forward' ("apparently" but nary a face slapppin was heard, so wedding plans are a nigh...so we's hears) and the other one was somewheres abeam of the entire thingy, so when juxtapositioning the alterior motif's of the arrangements, of others, we must ensure that the music is playing, and not the musaK!

Mainly, he was not demoted from aviator to flier. Nor was he promoted from acquaintence to best buddy. I know him through friends. Casually. He keeps to himself, his martinis, his cockpits, his freelanz, at home, experiments with mice and carcinogens, his peculiar habit of shaving his eyebrows and drawing them back on with a ballpoint pen. Oh, he throws a great party, but deep down no one knows him. Acquaintence of all, friend to none. The mysterious Mr. F.

Once when I was leisurely floating on my back in a canal in Venice, California, USA, with a pitcher of ƒlying zoobies and a glass balanced on my stomach, an elderly woman who happened to be passing by pulled her husband to a stop, pointed at me, and said "There he is, Herman! That's the man who stole the jar of pickled artichoke hearts out of my shopping cart at Ralph's, yesterday!". Whereupon "Herman" grabbed a boathook from a nearby yacht and began trying to fish me out of the canal. Suddenly, an elderly woman poked her head up out of the interior of the yacht and, frantically pointing at Herman, began yelling down into the boat, "There he is Frank! There's the man who stole our boathook!" What do you suppose Frank had to steal, and from who, to try and get the boathook back?

Well Frank, being a Genius, took up his flare gun, shot out the pitcher of Flying Zoobies laying upon your gut, that exploded, blowing the Herman character out of his clothing, that caused the Now Infamous "Boathook" to go carreening out of Hermans hands, flying past his totally befud'dled partner, bouncing off of a nearby shopping cart, and flying, ricochet style, off of the next door neighbours masthead, landing at Franks feet, whereupon he turned to his loving wife, pulled her off of her feet using the Now amorous boathook, and well you know the rest...
