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

What a stoopid question; On their planet(s) there where no living things willing to sediment in order achieve higher purpouse - to fuel the good ol' Merz.

Because that is not what we are looking for, we want stuuuuuuupid Quetions, from intelligent people, because this is the most intelligent form of stupidity that we can all possibly EI vent in.

Or, you forgot that the answer would be 42, cause it is!

Is this really the most intelligent form of stupidity that we can all indulge in?

We use the scalar version of the stupidity ratings scale that is an indicator of the reversed & inverted function of the intellectual duality that monitors the irrelevance of the manner of postulation the is encompassed in the prepetrators pre-pondered pre-ponderance for the imperically derived limitations upon the subsequential quotiant that is a gradient of the factors at play in the determining to the scales limited ends point that are only, most certainly only found by this method, as all other methods have clearly been proven conclusively to have failed at measureing anything other then obfuscated irrational fears that have been photographically feared from the presentation of the immediate responce.

If x plus Y are = to Z, then why isn't the answer 42?
 
  • #157
x plus y equals z, /ix ples why eekwalz zee/
that makes a nice 43. /thaat maiksss a naice forti three/

If 43 succeeds 42, shouldn't it be considered closer to an answer to the life, universe and everything?
 
  • #158
Nope, since the centre of the number sequence is 42. Hence it is scientifically shown that since 43 is further from 42 than 42, it is in fact less of the truth.

Why must we not mention the war to the Germans?

42 (please don't let this become the answer to all of the quetions, just because it's supposed to be the answer to everything).

6. There were 42, but 9 of you were killed in the great elephant collapse of 67.

What is the meaning of purple?


It means a grape many things, unlike orange which has no meaning at all, so in knowing what purple means, we look at the royalty of the nature of the purple.

Because he represented the 'Brut(in)us' factor, "Long live the King" (So long as his actions remain Sane!)

Tomorrow is the "Ides of April, does that mean a-n-y-thing?

I'm thinking Moore's Law can't keep up with all that.



Does porn cause men to view women as objects or does it only help cement pre-existing beliefs?

It helps them cement the object they truly view (the page) to-get-her.

Boulder.
I think not, but then again I think oranges look green.

What is the probability that I will post after Mr. Robin Parsons for like the 20th time in a row in this thread?
 
  • #170
{ψ: ψ ∈ [0, 1]}

Shouldn't that have been obvious?
 
  • #171
No, not as obvious as {r/r | r a non-zero real number}.

If we show arbitrary natural numbers with n, arbitrary real numbers with r, then why don't we show arbitrary whole numbers with z?

Nearly!

If time passes, then where does it go?
 
  • #175
Time usually vapors at 25' C but the surface evaporation is always present except at 0' K. Evaporated time will in time turn into clouds and then a time shower somewhere.

Given enough time, yes.


What is the difference between saying 'please' and saying 'pretty please'?
 
  • #177
Both are used at restaurants. You say "please" when you're hungering for a meal. You say "pretty please" when you're hungering for a pretty face around you. Despite this difference, "please" and "pretty please" both can be categorized as hungering for what it pleases.

Pleasure, does it really please you?
