    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.

How exactly does one 'excite' an electron?
By telling it nasty stories about the nucleus. They get a real charge out of that…

Probably something to do with 42 sheep jumping in and out of a puddle of muddy slush.

Because we men were and are completely mistaken about nearly everything.
*ducks head down into shoulders and cuts eyes left and right.*


I think women are fantastical. Could they be the center of the Universe and what life is all about?

One "stupid quetion" at a time, boulderhead.

The stupid answer to your quetions are (in the order of there having been asked):

1) Yes.
2) Women.
 
  • #130
Well, depends on how massive they are. If they are indeed of sufficient girth to act as a center for the universe, (as some studies suggest <insert disreputable science website here> ) then we would have no alternative but to accept that conclusion.

I'd be afraid to express it in polite society but surely the angle of the dangle would be equal to something...



Are perturbations from large asteroids a part of these computations?
 
  • #132
The largest known asteroid (ca. 932 km diameter) is Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, grain and the maternal love. Since it is maternal love it can't be focused on the audience who've long since left their motherly concerns. Viewed computationally, the effects are large enough to outweigh Europa's burning love and you know

"Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's going to check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's going to wait until you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mama's going to keep baby healthy and clean
Oh baby! Oh baby! Oh baby!
You'll always be baby to me"

No haven't seen them, but I suspect that that is what we were all fed at the soup kitchen, sometime last week.

Of course it does, what kind of a stuid quetion was that?
(In point of fact, a phobia is an unbased fear, but that would be the smart answer...)

How many different kinds of stupid quetion are there?
 
  • #135
Negative three.

Where do cowboys in Texas buy the cell-phones that they all seem to be carrying?

One at a time.


Which size floppy do you prefer to have; the 3.5 or the 5.25?
 
  • #138
The 3.5 will fit into either slot...

Will the next-smaller floppy be a 1.75 or a 2+1/3?
 
  • #139
Neither. First we had 5 + 1/4 and then 3 + 1/2 so the next must be either 1 + 1/1 which makes 2 that will surely fit in all slots.

Tarnation, By Golly, heck, and wildfire, jumping Ge-hos-efats, gosh, darn, jeeeeepers, YES!

When you curse, do you become cursed?
 
  • #141
Depends on whom you curse, usually curses find their way along with philosophical statements. If that isn't the case, you'll go curved instead of cursed.

He may be driven by instinct to never pass up an opportunity.


Why is there a ‘re’ in refrigerator, does it get things cold more than once or something?

It's a philosophical comment on the cyclic nature of spacetime, duh.

What is the point of the saying "wolf in sheep's clothing", considering that neither wolves nor sheep wear any clothing?

I know it has something to do with mama wolves' making sweaters for their pups...

What does it really mean to "cry wolf"?
 
  • #148
According to the latest version conspiracy theory, that's a way a to get hold of somewhere you don't belong.

Why do wolves come in herds?
 
  • #149
Become they most certainly do not come in peace.

Why do sci-fi aliens never say hello, only "we come in peace" or "DIE DIE DIE"?
 
  • #150
For the one decipherable SETI@home message for them was some politician (don't know who) shouting "we come in peace, otherwise, DIE DIE DIE" at some poor microphone.

Why do Sci-Fi aliens use glittering means of transport instead of a decent Mercedes Benz A-Class?
