    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.

Hmm... probably during mating season. They got to share some body warmth through kinetic energy transfer :biggrin:. Sometimes Igloos just aren't enough.

Is it acceptable in Spanish to combine words such as autobus (bus) or buscar (to find) into one word such as autobuscar (to find/search a bus)? Te autobuscas?

[I was doing this all wrong! let me try again...]

Only in the secret organisations, where they link certain words to produce new words, which give the instructions to carry out their next task.
for exaple, your examlpe, gives the command, to go find a bus. (but the real question is...for WHAT?...)

Why do men have nipples?

They are a defense mechanism, fooling an attacking avian into thinking it is attacking something bigger. One of the few direct links to our 83rd closest relative the Luna Moth.

I was going for my foursies when a small dog stole my ball. Do I have to start all over with my onsies or can I just kill the dog?
 
  • #1,615
Hmmm you said it was a small dog, just take it back. Hurting it solves nothing, though do make aggressive gestures and sounds to make sure he never does it again. If the small dog in question was a genetically enhanced fox terrier, just start with the onsies again and forget about my secret project...i mean "WATCHOUT! A BIRD! QUICK SHOW THEM YOUR NIPPLES!" (if you are a guy ofcourse)


who or what is our 97th closest relative?

Because there is no point in looking backwards to yesterday.

Not very well. the footprints in the butter always seem to give them away.

Would taping a cat to a slice of buttered toast be an effective solution to the worlds energy problems, or would there be problems? (working on the pinciple that a cat always lands on its feet, buttered toast always lands buttered side down, so the two together would result in a perpetual spinning motion as the two fight it out)

Doesn't work, cat dies everytime I put the bread in the toaster.

Haven't tried it. It's so hard to hit that + while holding down Alt and F4.

In what system of math would Alt+F4 be a valid string?

New Age computer science/religion (hex, of course).

If you're in your car and you're traveling at the speed of light and you turn on your headlights, is it because the sun went down, or because it started to rain?

Neither, it just gets real foggy.

How do you get a new word in Webster's?

Scrawl it on every wall in the city or pencil it into Webster's yourself.

The word "word" looks of Scandinavian decent. Do you think it pillaged towns with the Vikings?
 
  • #1,630
jeez think about it. It's not hard. Or is it?
 
  • #1,631
The answer is yes.

Could you ask a woodchuck "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" and get an answer?

It was kinda like this:
a horde of vikings decends upon a christian monastary, hacking and slashing at the innocent monks, cutting them down, setting fire to buildings and looting everything of value they could find.
"Arg, we got them good this time" say's Garth.
"Sure did" responded Fhilfi
"Next time we should try to loot the buildings before burning them though"
"Word"
and with that they rode off into the sunset, looking for another village to pillage.

of course not silly, you can't do that any more than you can tell a rhino to stamp out a fire without him eating an orange first.
..
..or would that work?

Of course, but not the answer you're expecting. You'd get quite a chewing out about how speciesist woodchuck is, and that the term groundhog is far more PC nowadays, mainly because of all the slurs their species has suffered from that woodchuck rhyme.

Why does plastic wrap always manage to stick to itself before you can get it transferred from the box and onto the bowl you're trying to cover?

Only if you bait him with a lemon.


Can rhinos even eat citrus though? Or is this only applicable in the general case of culinary sophisticate rhinos?

Right, my turn again. :biggrin:

Citrus is an Acid. It was proven, many many years ago, that and acid would burn the outside of a Rhino but not more than the hard outside casing. That is how the end part of its name came. The 'Rus' at the end is shorted from Rust, as that is what acid does to it. Strange but true. :smile:

Why are you talking about Rhinos? Should it be Rhini?

Rhini sounds like something a griley-man would say. Rhinos is much more governatorial.

Why do neither Dr Pepper nor Mr Pibb have periods in their abbreviations?

They're both men and men don't get periods.

Say, why don't men get periods?

Its a conspiracy to make us stronger than women by not dealing with debilitating cramps every month. This is what gave us our historical edge over women and enabled us to dominate the world for so long.

A worm remover, of course!

Since my last question got ignored (I wasn't quick enough to post and someone beat me to a new question), I'll repost it.

Because it's sticky and you're not careful enough with it! :biggrin:

Since the universe is deterministic, the laws of physics required it.

Oops, another theory has just been brought to my attention. Okay, inside your brain, there are smart thoughts and stupid thoughts. The smart thoughts are located in the left hemisphere and the stupid thoughts are located in the right hemisphere. The people in this forum were having more smart thoughts than stupid thoughts, causing an imbalance in the their brains which made them fall over. So they created this thread to promote stupid thoughts, restoring the balance, allowing them to remain upright.
