    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.

How old will we be when Zoob gets back?

As old as his twin, Noob, who'll be ancient, compared to Zoob.

I don't want to get ancient :cry:

Wait, all I got to do is build me one of those light-speed spaceships, right ?

Antioxidants prolong life and they may be easier to work with than light-speed ships.

How do antioxidants create wormholes?

The curvatures of the different dimensions are regulated by a Universal Fermi Ocean of virtual particles known as free radicals. Antioxidants destroy some of these free radicals, thereby causing previously curled up dimensions to unfurl, creating a wormhole.

I've always wondered : Does the Prime Directive apply on Earth ?

Yes

Why?

Anthropologists ask themselves that question all the time. (I think this question is on my Anthro midterm next week.)

Are there really any Coke-bottle worshipping cultures out there? Or was all the stuff in The Gods Must Be Crazy just made up?

They had existed from the 12th Century but they got fed up of having to find coke-bottles so gave up in the 16th Century.

Why do children want silly toys that are pointless?

Originally, most children wanted meaningful cacti. But the process of natural selection eliminated them.

I've always loved climbing trees.Whenever I see a tree, I don't think "nature", "shelter" or "data structure". I think "climb" - that's my Rorschach reaction to the image of a tree. However, a couple of years ago, when I saw this giant cactus in the desert, I didn't have that impulse.

I wonder why ?

Perhaps a natural impulse to avoid what is painful?

Painful, eh...didn't think of that ! :confused: I wonder why...it now seems painfully obvious to me.

So I guess that was a case of "Anser a stupid quetion with a stupid quetion."

I'm just looking at my wallet (you know, gauging how long my lafe savings will continue to provide me nourishment) and for the first time, I've noticed a little inscription in the corner saying "Remo".

Anyone seen that amazing movie about the dude that gets trained by a Korean martial atrs expert, to do things like dodge bullets, walk on quicksand and tour the Statue of Liberty ?

Nope.

What could my next question be?

It could be : "To be or not to be ?"

It always bugged me that Shakespeare called the above quote a quetion, even though he did not put a quetion mark, at the end of it. :confused:

Oh, hang on a sec there...all right, I've just got an email from The Bob. He says that he's having difficulty connecting to PF. He wants me to say the following on his behalf, so I quote :

"To be or not to be ?"

To be.

What would happen if a question mark symbol was the same as an exclamation mark symbol?

I think he may have misplaced it.

The Bob...I'm glad you're finally back. You got me kinda worried, with that email.

Anyone know why, every now and again, PF goes into hiding ? :cool:

I am not sure if it is "hiding" as much as it fluctuating in an out of an unperceivable state. When an entity exists in cyberspace (like PF) it isn't bound by the traditional dementions we are used to perceiving and processing in our human brains, and it can decide at any given moment how and where it would like to exist in which dementions, and only people with sufficent dementia will be able to recognize it. (ever see a homeless guy talking to himself and think he was crazy - nope! he's justing posting a message on PF). Ivan explained this whole thing to me once but it involved very complicated science concepts like wormholes and antioxidants, so I did not understand it well.

well, there's the Bob! 'Bout time you got back. Quetion: I was right here the whole time. The Bob where were you?

Why is math hard?

Because there are two parts to your brain and they can't divide.

If there are two mirrors facing each other...what is in them?

The famous Algerian physicist, D'avemath Yoozeband referred to the aether filling the mirror-gap as the "Space Between", while independently, the half-Arabic psychoanalyst Mahik al Jahaksan referred to this same entity as the "Man in the Mirrors".

This is the only known debate of this magnitude happening between members of two different fields, both containing the letters : P, H, S, Y and C.

Why is the fight between Miss Cleo and Professor Landow (over the true nature of ghosts) not relevant in this context ?

No, it doesn't. They just want you to take out the trash.


Why won't they take out the trash?
 
  • #1,526
Why should we, when we can just get The Bob to do it?

When I was younger and I worked for a pizza delivery service, I got a call to bring 3 pizza pies to Miss Cleo's house. When I got to her porch, I couldn't decide whether or not to ring the doorbell. I mean, she must know I was on the porch, right, 'cause she's psychic and all. If I rang the doorbell, she might be insulted and put some bad juju on me. But the protocol of our delivery service was to always ring the doorbell. I was between a rock and a hard place. I had to make a decision - the pizzas were getting cold. What do you suppose I did?

I would take the luminocity and the intensity of light , which is lit in her bedroom. Then, i would calculate the average amount of brightness in the bedroom (while the person is sleeping) and then compare it with the instantaneous luminocity and intensity of light that i measured. Which apparently, implies the state of Miss cleo. i.e, she is sleeping or not. If the result turns out to be "not sleeping", then i would ring the door bell.

But what if the result turned out to be "sleeping"?

We would ask for a question.

Some of you do not get this thread. You answer a stupid question and then put your own stupid question up.

So what do you make of stupid quetions?

If the best way to convince
a fool that it is wrong, is to
give it exactly what it desires.
The best way to handle
a fool that’s right is:

A. Kill it quick before it multiplies.
B. Encourage it, follow it, and worship it in
the hope of corrupting it.
C. Get out of the way and let it be.
D. Give it exactly what it desires in the
hope of convincing it it’s wrong.

Thanks, The Bob, for explaining the format to the new folks.

You can make a lot of things out of stupid questions, especially if you know how to crochet. Potholders, tea cozys, and attractive wall-hangings for example...

What can you make out of popsicle sticks and duct tape?

well iunno any of the answers of these questions but another question would be.. how come I'm alive and not dead lol =p or if I'm dead but i don't know it how am i alive? or if i were dead and not alive but almost alive but barely dead what would happen then ? =T OH and ...


how do u kno what's real? like could u possibly be living in a dream right now and everything you're doing at the moment is just a dream and you're still sleeping or if what you are doing right now is fake and when you go to sleep that is wen the real things happen HMM
