[Sourabh N]

Because you, Count Iblis, did not eat cheese.

How is a potato better than a tomato?

Count Iblis,I notice that you are a homework helper.Hopefully,you are giving wise and intelligent answers to your students.Does your having a great intellect render you incapable of asking a stupid quetion?

 

[curvationlive]

mmm...more than a day, less than a century!

I see! So, it is now my turn to ask a stupid quetion. Perhaps this question:

Suppose I make an upside down family tree. I appear at the top, my two parents below, their parents are shown below that, etc. etc. Then at the nth place there are 2^(n-1) people. But for n = 34 this exceeds the current World population and 34 generations back there were far fewer people than there are today. So, what is wrong?

 

[Redbelly98]

At some point in the family tree you will have ancestors from West Virginia USA, where inbreeding among family members is common practice. (Note, part of the game is to come up with a stupid answer )

Why do cats purr?

They are happy they are not a dog.

what comes after P ,comes before E and ends up being PH?

The imaginary element of pi.

How is it all of us are wasting time when none of us think to recycle it?

 

[Count Iblis]

Because time doesn't really exist.

Why do we need to conserve energy, given that energy is conserved anyway?

 

[archis]

We need to conserve and use the energy at least for that matter that nobody else gets it.

My class bought computers to learn on them. So, if there are 3 computers on table and you take one pc away, how many computers are left on the table?

 

[Koshi]

None. The power cord of the one taken away dragged the rest of them off the table top and onto the floor.

What's red?

 

[Sorry!]

None. The power cord of the one taken away dragged the rest of them off the table top and onto the floor.

What's red?

This isn't the place for questions like that.

Why am I still tired?

 

[Bohrok]

This isn't the place for questions like that.

Why am I still tired?

Because your eyes look, wait, nevermind... This isn't the place...

What color is the inside of an orange before you cut it open?

 

[archis]

There is no color, because there is no light.

If you are traveling higher then speed of sound and make a fart, will you hear it first or smell it?

 

[Dweirdo]

actually, you will feel it, which is like hear+smell it or aka smear it, it's a common thing.

Why is ice-cream an ice-cream when it's not really a cream?

 

[mbrmbrg]

For lack of being a potato.

If potatoes have eyes on all sides, why are they so often captured by humans?

 

[Koshi]

Because their eyes are filled with dirt.

What is filthier than dirt?

 

[Dembadon]

... What is filthier than dirt?

Mud.

My turn: How do I create test data? (I have actually been asked this question before)

 

[zoobyshoe]

How do I create test data?

One does not create test data from thin air, of course, since it's subject to the usual conservation laws. One must convert some other form of data into test data. In practice, test data is most frequently harvested from old phone books or outdated dictionaries or from the copy on cereal boxes.

Recently some test data I harvested from an Alka-Seltzer Plus package indicated that if you jump a photon and wrestle it into its back it will go into a sort of hypnotic stupor and won't bite you. I was pleased, because, of course, that's completely consistent with GR.

How, though, do I stop the squishy noise in my left ear when I swallow?

 

[mg0stisha]

Stop swallowing!

Who's the greatest historical figure of all time?

 

[sganesh88]

Who's the greatest historical figure of all time?

Adam.

What if Adam had been gay?

 

[Dweirdo]

He wouldn't have eaten that orange he ate because of that girl! and we all now would have a Ferrari.

what if the snake had been gay?

 

[kotreny]

Then Slytherin House would be very different.

[kotreny]

Then it would get sunspots mostly in its teen years.

[kotreny]

Nope.
