    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.

Why do elephants have four feet?

Because, it was a "hands down" decision!

Four knees a jolly good fallow.

Why are elephants Republican?
 
  • #73
Actually, "Republicans" is a subset of "Elephants"; so, all Republicans are Elephants, but not all Elephants are Republicans.

When the Democrats ask a stupid question, why are the Republicans so eager to give a stupid answer. (Or visa versa.)

It's a constant struggle, for one side to look dumber than the other, and thus win majority votes.

I don't know about you; but, I'm beginning to think it means nothing.

  • #76
It means for it to be civilised (according to your post).

What would it mean for a society to be uncivilized (based on our previous definition)?
 
  • #77
It is that every member of the society has found her/his soulmate so they will melt into each other and offset each other's effect thus leading to an effect known as RB-LP syndrome (perhaps only energy radiating around in quanta or buckets depending on the observer).

How can you find your soulmate?

PS: I like Richard Bach.

I think the dumbest answer I've heard to this question is "stop looking" (what really bothers me is that people think they're being wise, by answering this way . However, I'd just like it to be known, that this answer is not of my own originality.

Does the expression; "Putting ones nose to the Grindstone" ever need to be taken literally?

Only when Mrs. Grindstone needs to check if it's time to remind her husband to take a shower.

Why does Mr. Grindstone abhor showering so much?

Not insane, merely plain, and the bane of life in Spain.

It is the reason for the meter, and the time!

Ummm... no, probably not. In fact, I'm quite sure that it will not. That was cute though.
Does the 'Parsons to English Dictionary' rhyme the definitions?

It depends on how drunk the user is.

On average have the questions in PF 2.0 been stupider then those in PF 3.0 have been, or is it the other way around?

The MSQ (mean stupidity quotient) of the quetions on PF2 were rated on a scale of 1 to 10 and amazingly were ranked at -437.2. That can be roughly translated as meaning "Never before found levels of stupidity." If we were to compare this score with the current MSQ rating of the PF3 quetions, which would be kinda like comparing apples to other kinds of apples, we find that these questions, on a scale of 0 to 9, for some reason, have been rated a nominal -42. This could be interrpreted as meaning only "Embarrasingly stupid." Reflecting on this data, the answer to the question escapes me at this time.

Does a really long answer qualify as a stupid answer, or must it be genuinely stupid no matter the length?
 
  • #99
I think the most geniunely stupid answers, or at least those with the highest MSQ are the exceedingly short, yet unbelievably stupid answers.

This begs the question, what's better a very short answer that is just embarissingly stupid, or a somewhat longer question but which is on a level of never before seen stupidity.

Yes, most assuredly, positively, you got it!

She/he actually mimes all those rhymes from far ancient times but if you give two dimes, believe me, they'll be much better than limes to which the word rhymes - that you've used so many times - well rhymes... (the maker of these rhymes who lost her/his life in old times did hear them listening to wind chimes)...

Why those rhymes from far ancient times chose to settle down in wind chimes?

So when the wind blows hard, those rhymes do retard, and we find those stupid quentions from the ancient card!
