    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.

Yep. Especially since the second one is titled, "My brother, the elm." :biggrin: (Both are pretty funny...I like Ra's method of golfing, but if I aimed into the woods, I'd probably get a hole in one!)

We are the jellyfish, we have Moonbear, resistance is futile, send Fauchon chocolate and we will not harm her.

Why do they have so many names for beige if you want to buy beige paint?

If you'd just use your scratching post, your nails wouldn't need trimming at all.

How do you herd snails, is it as hard as herding cats?
 
  • #1,687
Of course I've heard of cats. Just cause I don't like them doesn't mean I haven't heard of them.

How do I get the bad taste out of my welcome mat?
 
  • #1,688
How do you herd snails . . .? Very slowly.

How can WE be alone?

Why do they put decorative patterns on paper towels, was there something wrong with plain white?

Because it's cheaper. Instead of designing new machines for just plain white, they use the machines that design some curtains like the ones they have in the dorms.

Dammit Physics_wiz! this thread has been going for almost a year and you just ruined it by not asking a question. Well, it was fun while it lasted everyone. Time to go home.

Whoooooooooooops! :eek: :yuck:

Uhhhhhhh...why did I forget to post a question? :uhh: :shy:
 
  • #1,693
Questions are irrelevant.

You can't have just forgotten to ask a quetion, could you? :
 
  • #1,694
I think Physics_Wiz was demonstrating a quantum leap or a quetion singularity.

Is this quetion relevant then? Or revelant for that matter?

Astronuc said:

yes... I mean, no. no wait, it's yes - I definitely meant yes.

Speaking of relevant, why does Gokul use a waffle iron with a big strip of bacon in front of it for his avatar?
 
  • #1,696
because he's not just for breakfast anymore.

I'm learning how to paint what should I paint a picture of?
 
  • #1,697
You should paint yourself—just don't paint yourself with transparent paint because you won't be able to find yourself anymore.

  • #1,700
Put them in a pot to roast.

Because stewing broccolli removes the poison in it.
