Johnny Quest thinks we're sellouts. (google it)

Normal people wear matching socks, because they only buy socks that are of the same colour.


How does an African Swallow carry a coconut to England?

I'm not going to anser this because it's clear from the quetion you're an enemy of England bent on amassing unusual biological weapons to be used against that great Island Nation. England does not currently have any anti-coconut defences, it's not the kind of attack they're expecting, and the utter ruthlessness of your plan to bomb them with these large, hard tropical nuts is beyond the pale. Plus it's a waste of food. I'm contacting Interpol, Mr. Moto!

Recently when I was awaiting maiming and torture at a dentists office I noticed someone had left a spy thriller on one of the seats: The Ludlum Formula. I picked it up and was soon engrossed in the twisty-plot tale of a rogue CIA assassin who'd been brainwashed to think he was a spy thriller novelist and spent his days penning novels about rogue CIA assassins who'd been brainwashed into thinking they were spy thriller novelists.

However, I was interrupted when an evil woman in a white smock came to lead me away to the Chair of Torment.

Anyone know how that book ended?
 
Yes that is the question that can never be answered because it was never even asked in the first place.

Ok so does anyone know what they really make soda out of?
 
Love.

When is enthusiasm not proportional to deadlines?

I'm not sure I completely understand the quetion, but if by "When is enthusiasm not proportional to deadlines?" you mean "How do they get that refreshing lemony scent in Pine-Sol?" then the anser is not available. It's a proprietary secret.

Who's that in the second row, third from the left?
 
I Don't Know. Oops. He's on third.

What's on second?
 
Whatever's not already on first.

Who do you think is first?

Me, obviously.
You must now pose a stupid quetion for the next player, please.
 
I realized that about five minutes after posting.

Lemony fresh pine sol.

Getting back to more urgent irrelevancies: I've heard it asserted that with a common pair of pliers, three boxes of brass brads, and a garbage bag full of old Hershey bar wrappers, a Turkish diabetic can forge enough fake money to pay off the equivalent of National Debt of the original 13 American Colonies in 1797. I'm sure everyone's heard that. But does this mean a specific Turkish diabetic, or any Turkish diabetic?
 
They must be between the ages of 24 and 35, have type 6 diabetes, and have their third finger in from the left missing.

lemony fresh pine sol town,
Who couldn't remember when he'd really last sat down.
His recall of the chair:
"I really don't care"
"Cause I float on a lake and will till I drown."

The moral of that Limerick, is, obviously, "Don't count your Rosetta Stones before they're unearthed." Everyone avoids mentioning that, though, because that moral has no ring to it. It falls flat. Lessons and morals should be snappy, and pithy. Otherwise you won't remember them.

But don't you find, in saying "The Rosetta Stone falls flat," that there is a devious, erroneous implication, that erroneous implication being that it doesn't also stand flat?

There once was a man with a hernia.

Be sure you don't fiddle
With matters that do not concern-ya.

STUPID QUESTION:
A stitch in time saves 9 WHAT??

9 stitches in time will save me from having another bout of 9 simultaneous severe debilitating headaches when 9 stitches unraveled from the shoulder of my dress and left me standing,humiliated,in the middle of Times Square.I had my suitcase bomb with me but had to run off and hide and leave the bomb as I probably would have been caught extremely easily if I had set my terrorist bomb off and was the only naked person nearby.Should I have set the bomb off anyway and just hoped it blew the clothes off other people too?
 
9 stitches in time staple the clothes to the bodies of the bomb blast victims. What victims?? I see no damn victims!

I question the philosophical reality of your terrorist bomb! Answer me that, and I shall bake you a cake. Pi cake.
 
I philosophically reject your reality of questioning the philosophical realty of someone else's terrorist bomb, and substitute my Shih Tzu's hallucinogenic realty; which is itself brought about by the cyclic atrophea of the 3rd ring of Saturn during every 2nd full moon.

Given that a gentleman; when going to work; wears a sandle and sock on his left foot and a shoe with no sock on his right foot, does he bring his lunch to work or ride the bus?

I suppose that would depend on how he optimized the chuck function.

I wonder how people first measured the speed of light in a vacuum. I think the hardest part is getting a flashlight up the narrow plastic hose. Do you think they ran it over a string of Christmas lights and then looked in the bag?

yes because you are an example

whats most stupid thing about physics?
 
The most stupid thing is that I have to know about Laplacians and other advanced mathematics to do modern physics instead of rubber chickens. What if I want to use rubber chickens to answer questions in physics?? I do love mathematics, truthfully, but I'm in the spirit of this forum. :)

I have a question and I'll take any answer, stupid or otherwise.
"How fast do you need to be driving before a red light turns green?"
High School Physics class extra credit question. Anything I put in for a search brings up DMV links.
 
[BTW, ijesse94 -- you needed to give a stupid answer to a stupid question before posting your question.] This may not be the proper forum for homework-related questions -- but then again, the question is sort of shifty. As a result of the correct speed at which you need to be driving, hopefully the only collapse you will see will be a measured shortening of the distance between two successive peaks (or two crests, or any two points with equal heights and equal slopes), and not in the form of a sudden impact to the length of the vehicle you are driving toward the intersection with a "green" light.

It is said that there is no such thing as a stupid question, only a stupid answer; what gives?
