    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.

The 'job' I am working on now is becoming 'Emperor of the World'.I have many plans when I finally achieve this.My most important accomplishment will be the sentences that I (or should I make that a royal We) will impose on fat,hirsute,gross men,who refuse to wear shirts in public.We (I) will first give said person a fine depending on how repulsive it is,second offense will be a larger fine,third offense is mandatory life in prison.Quetion-If said offender does not wear a shirt in prison,should we execute him?

I will ignore 'tormund' being he is too rude to answer my quetion.According to 'holy law',it is a sin to ask a quetion without first giving an answer.I will pray for his soul,although I fear it will not matter,his antisocial behavior demonstrates a grievous unwillingness to conform to mandatory spiritual principles.I would be exceedingly grateful if a pious person (or parson) would answer my original quetion'what punishment for the jailed non-shirt-wearing-hirsute-man?

I will appeal to Ptolemy IV who wrote, "Let us hold him down and wax him, and he will no longer inflict quite such grievous offense upon our eyes."

What is the appropriate punishment for a display of Plumber's Cleavage?
 
  • #3,120
I (we) did not remember the exact punishment for that,so to make sure I (we) gave you the precise,up to date,fair penalty for that heinous offense ,I (we) checked 'The Holy Book' You know the Book.It is mandatory reading (at least an hour a day,except,of course Tuesday).The sentence is (as I'm (we're) sure you remember)forfeiture of one body part.Said body part is of the offender's choosing.Keep in mind,that part must be jointed.Which body part do the most people pick & why?

No, that was the part where you ask a question. This is the part where I answer a question.

It's uncertain.

Is answering a question with a question an efficient way to respond in this thread?

Stupidly, I would agree to your proposition.

If one breaks the rules of the game, is this punishable by death?
 
  • #3,136
No,it is not punishable by death.Members of 'Stupid Quetion' hunt down the offender & bring him to court to decide his penance.The offender might be made to muck out New York sewer systems,right out a 10000 word apology,give homeless people new hairdos etc...What is the harshist fine that they have levied?

[okay, i'll bite...] infinite stupidity re stupid quetions

what is the stupidest quetion thus far (she said, managing to say "stupid" three - wait, no! four! - times in the last two sentences)
 
  • #3,141
The one you just asked .It has already been asked in this thread.Why can't people come up with original stupid quetions?Are they too stupid to ask a stupid quetion?" No,forget those quetions.I want to known,can a person be so stupid that they can't conceive of a stupid quetion?

It's well known that this can be statistically extrapolated from a person's S.Q. (Stupidity Quotient) which is always a non-positive, irrational number, with no fixed value since it is always defined as a non-linear acceleration directly downwind, faster than the wind. When the square root of this number is multiplied by its inverse square, then beaten flat to a thickness of .002 inches by Afgani craftsmen, it can be applied as a conductive surface to dried gourds (and other vegetables), electrically charged, and the charge measured and added to pet food, for quantum nutritional purposes. Makes for shiney eyes, splendid fur, and improved vocal qualities (even in iguanas.)

However, you should check that because it's all from memory of my June 13th, 1987 reading of Granger's seminal 1957 paper On the Possibility of a Quantum Limit To Stupidity (Granger, et al, Journal of Quantum Stupidity, Fall Quarter, 1957 pp 35-39).

Regardless, it has been reported recently that the furry singing iguanas of the Fagistan Archipelapagos are on the brink of extinction due to poor marketing strategies resulting in low sales volume. I heard this tragic news with a sharp twinge of indifference that left me wondering: Is anyone really going to care if they go extinct?
 
  • #3,143
Zooby,I am amazed.Your apathy is only surpassed by my own.I have visions of myself being the envy of all women when they see me in my one of a kind ,singing lizard fur.Actually,the more I think of it,YES.I will have that coat made & then personally make sure all of the other lizards are destroyed.I WILL have the ONLY coat.I can picture how lovely I will look on the cover of ' Vouge ' What method should I use to make sure that after my lovely fur is made that all other lizards will be destroyed & no copies of my coat should be made?

I'm not sure. The Furry Singing Iguanas of the Fagistan Archipelapagos, is, you may or may not know, a group of homosexual musicians specializing in Polka/Mariachi fusion. They don't actually have fur. Therefore, I don't see any direct route to a fur coat from that source.

Speaking of "Vouge", however, reminds me of the anecdote about the spooneristic Frenchman. That anecdote, in turn, reminds me of the First Amendment, for obvious reasons.

It should come as no surprise, therefore, to encounter me posing the logically following quetion: why don't we do it in the road?
 
  • #3,145
Note to newcomers: This thread is a game with rules. Please answer the previous quetion first, and then you may ask your own quetion.
 
  • #3,146
Zoob,I'm confused.Was that a come-on? Are you having fantasies of 'doing it in the road' with furry singing iguanas serenading us?My favorite music is Polka/Mariachi ,so this does sound romantic. Still,I do think a courtship of at least,oh say,one year would be in order.I could be persuaded to lessen that amount of time if you have found an exquisite,romantic road. What special qualities would that road have to possesses for me to give up my chastity in undo haste?

I suppose you're going to be picky and demand a stretch of road where there aren't a lot of chickens crossing to get to the other side.

Speaking of roads, which all lead to Rome, where, upon arrival, you should do as the Romans do, it occurred to me once, when I was gladiating in the Colosseum, that roaming on a road out of Rome might take you to Rhodes. But it might not. In something of the manner of Xeno's Paradox, it might lead you back to Rome instead. Since that's where all roads lead. In which case, there is no significant difference between Rome and the Hotel California. Therefore, why is it so difficult to find a woman who doesn't object to a chicken stampede or two when we're doing it in the road?

Sorry to interrupt your little road trip with your roadie friend, but your quetion is ill-posed. How difficult is "so difficult"? That was not my quetion; I was being rhestorical. But setting rhestorical quetions on the far side of the road for the moment, and getting to the likely intent of your quetion, I believe the answer may be that women, presumably like men, are not particularly into tarring and feathering.

Have you tried asking any men about chicken stampedes, while you're doing it in the road with them? That was a rhestorical quetion too, but anser me this: so we know where the S went, but where's W?

Third shelf from the bottom of the bookcase on the north wall of the living room of the upper duplex at 2245 Rossly Avenue, Schenecdedy, New York, U.S.A.

Several months ago when I was lounging in the sun on the back patio of the cafe, La Souris Perdue, a young lady of my acquaintance began to earnestly explain to me that the human being was more closely related, genetically, to the fruit fly than to any other animal. I chuckled, and began to explain to her that she'd garbled the facts up quite a bit, but she flew away.

It is said that time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana. It is also said that you are what you eat. Bananas, therefore, are actually fruit flies.

But what do bananas eat?
 
  • #3,150
Zooby,I am shocked that you don't know what bananas eat.They eat baby Zoobies ! Haven't you noticed that you have been losing members of your race at extremely large rates since bananas tricked your kind into importing them. Why don't you do some research & find out exactly how those sneaky bananas deceived your people? I will suggest if you could find a rare copy of 'Banana Warfare' written in the early 1900's by an eminent sociologist named Zigmoid Bananabread,that you could avert more possible disaster.There are not many copies left of this most important work.The bananas found out about this (from their point of view) treachery & destroyed all the books they could.Also,being the books were written on banana parchment some rotted. I know at least one exists, because 8 years ago,when I was homeless in Cambridge,Ma. while I was grubbing for spare change for food,a Harvard student kindly gave me said book to eat.I,unfortunately,sold it to a used bookstore for the princely price of $2.50,which enabled me to get a most delicious hamburger. So,sorry, I sold the book,I didn't know it would become so important. Can this book be found & bananas be stopped before they commit genocide on Zoob's people?
