    Stupid
In summary, a group of individuals are discussing a new forum and its purpose of asking and answering "stupid questions." They discuss topics such as how long it takes to reach 1000 posts, the existence of the old forums, the best superpower, an elevator that goes sideways, and the reasons behind posting in this forum. They also explore the question of why they ask questions and the possible theories that have not been invented. Eventually, the conversation turns to the expansion of the universe and the orbit of planets around stars.

Depends on the mood you're in.

Why is the plural of "goose" "geese", but the plural of "moose" isn't "meese"?

Just the same way as the plural of "mouse" is mice but the plural of "house" isn't "hice".

If love is "blind", why do people fall in love at first "sight"?

Because blind sight is just like faith healing, magical.

Why are pancake houses so comodius?
 
  • #1,859
I am going to guess that you meant commodious? Pankcake houses are so commodious because after a large stack of pancakes you need to loosen your belt, and push back your chair.

Why are pancakes soooo good?

You won't believe me that the basic rule of it all
is the law of lever. But believe you me it is!
I must say I am impressed by it all and I have been waiting along time for another long winded answer to something for a while but you did not leave a question.

I mean what is the point in answering this thread if you do not leave a question? :tongue2:

At what temperature will a piece of ham burst into flame?

According to a reclusive amazonian tribe who have constructed an entire measuring system on the physical and chemical properties of dead pigs - the answer is: unity (1).

(Edit: then again it might depend on the species of dead pig in question...)

It is meant to trick your mind into thinking the wrong way round. It is very clever.

We could go on this route all night. It is there so that words are not in any old order (although this can happen in Russia).

Fat chance ! You'd sooner compose a piano concerto than solve a millenium problem.

Okay, so I'm wandering about in PF-land and suddenly I'm ambushed by a stealthy member trying to rob me of my posts (I know this, from all the threatening PMs I've gotten from an unknown sender). Just as I turn around, I feel a blow to the back of my head followed by ...nothing.

Whodunnit ?

Pi, to go with the turkey.

Assume a turkey is a sphere. Would you want to eat it?

If qualia were a joke, would the zombies get it?
 
  • #1,887
NO they only get qualio.


Whats wrong with this guy: :!) ? Is he diseased?

It is logically impossible for qualia to be a joke; that is to say, there are no metaphysically possible worlds wherein qualia can be jokes.

If zombies could tell jokes, would we feel any worse about dismembering them and then setting the pieces on fire?

Yes, he has herpes simplex keratitis- and you can guess how he got it. :tongue2:

No worse than they would feel.
