    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.

Although the saying used to be yes, but i think that i will have to go with no. The pain of losing your love is extremely agonising.

Why are all larger life-forms being symmetric?
 
  • #3,014
Hmm, as far as I know, they are not. Want proof? My left ear is just a tad lower than my right ear, and my left foot is just a tad wider than my right foot. Or maybe it's that I'm not considered a larger life being... I am kinda short, so maybe that explains it.

Hard to tell--I was calling someone on the other side of the date line at the time.

Why are so many recycling bins blue?
 
  • #3,018
Recycling bins are blue so people can see them. The parts of human DNA responsible for red and green color vision are in proximity to one another. In most people with color blindness it is these parts of the DNA that combine incorrectly due to their proximity. Blue color receptors are located in another part of the genome. The government makes recycling bins blue so as many people as possible can see them, and they make traffic lights red and green so less people can see them. It's a conspiracy to clean up the environment and control the population. Save the planet, dude!

How many cops does it take to change a red light?

Huckleberry, if you read over your work, you will notice that you have nearly answered your own question. Red lights do not exist primarily to help drivers, rather they exist to provide an excuse for fining people and thus fund the police department. Thus, as "changing" does not occur at high enough frequencies to provide meaningful data, a question such as this properly belongs in an Independent Research forum (if not in the S&D thread altogether.

Why is doing a thermodynamics problem during intermission more fun than actually watching an opera?

Because time's fun when you're havin' flies.

If time flies when we're having fun, then shouldn't we avoid fun as much as possible in order to maximum our time in this life?
 
  • #3,021
Fun actually slows down time.

T=F^2

T, is time
F, is funHow many pins can I fit in my mouth?

For the color-blind.

In a mirror, why does your left hand become the right hand of your virtual counterpart, whereas top and bottom stay the same?
 
  • #3,026
Because hands descended from rubber chickens.

I'm not sure about custard, but ours keeps getting jam-med.

Can bumble bees fly?

No, their size in relation to their aerodynamic properties will not allow it. Which brings up an interesting question; how so Bumbe bees manage to catch the tuna they are famous for?
 
  • #3,031
By offering them beer.

Where did the yellow fin tuna go wrong - i mean, he's not on the can and is probably nearly extinct by now, to boot?

He allowed himself to be captured by Tiny-Tim.

Woodchuck would chuck as much chuck as the woodchuck could chuck.

My friend used that for her security question on a the university's website. Her answer (which oddly enough she could not remember) was... Platypus.

Both reference systems are equally valid, but the math is a lot easier if you take a zebra to be white with black stripes. (Imagine integrating over an entire white stomach if your reference system is black!)

Yes, because it explodes randomly.

Please do not post if you do not understand the game.

The rule is that you answer the last person's question, hopefully with a clever and witty response, then you ask a question.

No, you will shrink until you're a human prune.

Tables can do anything these days. I recently saw one drive a car.
