Ask a Stupid Quetion Get a Stupid Answer

Could the moon be used for topsoil?

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Your topsoil would go through phases, sometimes really bright and glowy, and then sometimes partly glowy, and then sometimes really dark. I think during "full topsoil phases" your lawn might keep you awake at night.

speaking of lawns, I planted some jellybeans in my front yard last spring but they never sprouted. Why didn't I get my jelly tree?

 

[BoulderHead]

Smart thinking, I wouldn't want my lawn to glow !

...speaking of lawns, I planted some jellybeans in my front yard last spring but they never sprouted. Why didn't I get my jelly tree?

I'm unsure but suspect it is related in some way to my own experience of planting a bag of birdseed; there was all different kinds of seed in the bag but drat the luck not a single bird sprouted from any of them !


Now I ask you, what's up with that?!

Now I ask you, what's up with that?!

I'm guessing you forgot to pretreat the soil with guano. In fact, if you get the soil just right, growing birds is a piece o cake. I recall the time I accidentally dropped a birdseed just where I later planted a hedgerow. A few days later, I hada bird in the bush.

...which reminds me; I saw this girl yesterday, and her backpack had a sticker reading : "THE ONLY BUSH I TRUST IS MY OWN".

That got me to thinking if there were other people that had grown skeptical of plants. Know any ?

Sure, the people still living downwind of Chernobyl.

If you had to cram 17 clowns into one tiny clown car, what kind of oil would you use?

 

[Gokul43201]

If you had to cram 17 clowns into one tiny clown car, what kind of oil would you use?

That depends on whether the oil is to make the clowns slippy or to make the car go. If the former, I'd use petroleum jelly...and for the latter, I'd skip the jelly.

I've always wondered : what's the difference between a 'homonym' and a 'homophone' ?

 

[BoulderHead]

A bird in the bush is worth a handful of seed…

...which reminds me; I saw this girl yesterday, and her backpack had a sticker reading : "THE ONLY BUSH I TRUST IS MY OWN".

That got me to thinking if there were other people that had grown skeptical of plants. Know any ?

Oh, I’ve grown quite a lot of skeptical of plants. It takes so very little moisture I’m amazed it never took firm root in desert locations…


Have you ever grown weary of plants?


[edit]
Oops, beat to the punch

I've always wondered : what's the difference between a 'homonym' and a 'homophone' ?

About one homophobe.


Now, about weary of plants?

 

[Moonbear]

Have you ever grown weary of plants?

Oh, sure, it has a beautiful purple blossom that only opens up at night. Being a night owl, I really appreciate that.

So, I'm seeing some possible relationship among some of the previous quetions. Based on my observations, I have come up with the following quetion:

If I use the moon as topsoil, will the transplanted gravitational field make my skeptical of plants grow taller, even if my plastic wrap is still stuck to itself?

 

[evagriselda]

Is it really true that all the ufo's are coming to save humanity from human stupidities?

 

[Gokul43201]

Can't say I've seen any of those at the Home Depot. But I've got this large neighbor (and he just got released from the hospital after being patched up for 37 broken bones - or so he claims, but that's a different story) who just likes to go by 'Giant'. He claims to have some experience with 'jumping off' plants. Haven't seen any of those either

Anyways, the music's been playing over here, and for the last 4 minutes, Eric Clapton's been trying to get into heaven, but no one's answering the door. What's up with that ?

PS : I'm really slow...Moonbear has precedence.

 

[BoulderHead]

Yes, but only when applied by homophobic clowns smeared in petroleum jelly beans.


Could glowing moon dust become the next rage replacement for black lights and lava lamps?

God is throwing another cocaine party, I'll bet.

Not yet...the transportation costs are still too high. But just you wait, till that new glow worm hole opens up.

And what's the idea behind the name 'worm hole', anyway. They don't call the highways in Germany 'tortoise-bahns' do they ?

 

[Moonbear]

You missed Honestrosewater's post last night (or I think it was her post) that explained there are space worms making the wormholes. Though, I've heard that when traffic gets really bad, indeed, Germans start to refer to their roadways as "tortoise-bahns."

Earthworms have 7 hearts, IIRC. How many hearts do spaceworms have?

 

[Gokul43201]

Earthworms have 7 hearts, IIRC.

I thought they had 7 chambered hearts, IIRC. I remember a picture that looked like a stretched accordion. Yeah...that was from my "Things that look like Musical Instruments" textbook (I got that for my first birthday). I'll never forget the page on the standard wooden drumstick...it never made sense to me when I read it in playschool. There was a picture, kinda like this :

http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml03/03128.jpg

Followed by several pictures of something called...oh I can't remember...wait...I think they called it a Richard ? Ah, forget that.

How many hearts do spaceworms have?

I quote from my Astronomy 101 textbook, titled "Cosmo-Illogical" : The isotropic nature of space is evidence that speceworms are heartless.

Have you ever noticed that it smells like $#!t at the other end of a wormhole ?

His wife's meatloaf.

I don't have a question, I just can't resist an opportunity to introduce meatloaf into a conversation. Is that okay?

That's okay, but for misspelling 'quetion', you are banished to the land of sanity.

This quetion is again inspired by what's playing : Do you feel like I do ?

With the renewed popularity of the Lord of the Rings (just go with me on this one) do you think "halflings" will soon become more PC than "little people"?

I don't know, but it sounds like something Kentucky Fried Chicken would smother in honeyBBQ sauce...

Would you like some of them frenchfried pertaters with that?

No.

So anyway... RANDOMNESS.

What is the point in have chickens running government?

[Moonbear]

What is the point in have chickens running government?

Chickens are quite well suited to running government, and it is believed politicians are evolved from a common ancestor to chickens. Indeed, both share a relatively rare trait, which is quite essential for running government, that being the uncanny ability to continue running even when lacking a head.

If two heads are better than one why are women so smart?

Because we know we can control both of men's heads by messing with just one.

Why do we have to say "cheese" before pictures are taken? Why not okra, or beer?

 

[tribdog]

because it's imposible to say okra and smile. ugh, okra, slimy.

Yep. Especially since the second one is titled, "My brother, the elm." (Both are pretty funny...I like Ra's method of golfing, but if I aimed into the woods, I'd probably get a hole in one!)

If you'd just use your scratching post, your nails wouldn't need trimming at all.

How do you herd snails, is it as hard as herding cats?

 

[tribdog]

Of course I've heard of cats. Just cause I don't like them doesn't mean I haven't heard of them.

How do I get the bad taste out of my welcome mat?

 

[Astronuc]

How do you herd snails . . .? Very slowly.

Stop licking it.

Yes, let's run away together!

Why do they put decorative patterns on paper towels, was there something wrong with plain white?

 

[Physics_wiz]

Why do they put decorative patterns on paper towels, was there something wrong with plain white?

Because it's cheaper. Instead of designing new machines for just plain white, they use the machines that design some curtains like the ones they have in the dorms.

Dammit Physics_wiz! this thread has been going for almost a year and you just ruined it by not asking a question. Well, it was fun while it lasted everyone. Time to go home.

 

[Physics_wiz]

Whoooooooooooops!

Uhhhhhhh...why did I forget to post a question? :shy:

 

[Moonbear]

Questions are irrelevant.

You can't have just forgotten to ask a quetion, could you? :

 

[Astronuc]

I think Physics_Wiz was demonstrating a quantum leap or a quetion singularity.

Is this quetion relevant then? Or revelant for that matter?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Is this quetion relevant then? Or revelant for that matter?

yes... I mean, no. no wait, it's yes - I definitely meant yes.

Speaking of relevant, why does Gokul use a waffle iron with a big strip of bacon in front of it for his avatar?

 

[tribdog]

because he's not just for breakfast anymore.

I'm learning how to paint what should I paint a picture of?

 

[plover]

You should paint yourself—just don't paint yourself with transparent paint because you won't be able to find yourself anymore.

Considering it's been going on for 1 year & 2 days, with 654 posts, when will the "Should we eat meat?" thread end?

 

[Astronuc]

When we run out of meat.

But what would we do with the side dishes?

 

[Ba]

Put them in a pot to roast.

Why do people try to poison a person with stewed tomatoes?

Because stewing broccolli removes the poison in it.


If broccolli is supposed to be a mini tree, what is cauliflower a mini version of?

 

[ZeAsYn51]

It's a mini tree with snow on it.

Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
