    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.

Cheeeese, My first interview, well, you see the idea first came to me one long and lonely night whilst I was sitting at my typewriter. The Coffee had been brewing for some time and the wind was most assuredly NOT howling at my door (it was summer after all) so it was the most experiantial thing that could have arisen, given the timing and the place, and the other variables that are, well, just too long to go into tedious detail about, so if brief, the socks I was wearing, oooops, I wasn't wearing socks, that's right, the shoes were sandals and the pants joggers. In a T shirt was I dressed, and the long and the short of it is, well, to long to go into here, so I'll just give you the skinny, (the 'short of it' for all of you not involved in the 'skinny of things') (actually I was a little overweight at the time but...) it was likened unto something that I had not experianced before, so I decided to write it down, but that backfired when I, six months later, decided to re-read what I had written, and realized that it was un-intelligable to anyone other then myself, so I continued, until this very day, when I now tell you all this little story, (clearly well truncated, but just as clearly, easily, readable, and so direct, and to the point that it behooves you to respond to it) that was what happened when I had decided to tell you all about how I thought of it!

Clear enough?

Well, the matter seems clear now. You've the right excuse for thinking so but then something is wrong here, let me see ...

If the wind was NOT howling at your door, where could it be howling then?
 
  • #108
At your door.

If you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, how come you can't pick your friend's nose?
 
  • #109
Who says you can't?

If you're friend had a cast on both his hands and couldn't pick his nose and asked you to do it for him, would you?

Why do we use the internet when we can just use homing pigeons?
 
  • #112
For we hate AOL Times Warner monopoly on Multimedia MIME-enabled homing pigeons who've registered HPCP port 666 for their so-called well-known service breaking the rules stated in all hacker legends that date back to the time when no rules where set yet.

* HPCP -> Homing Pigeon Control Protocol, their so-called competitor to TCP which in fact runs on IP, lame!

Which came first, pigeon or pigeon egg?

To get to the other side.

How many light bulbs does it take to change a chicken?
 
  • #114
As for light tulip bulbs the answer is 42. Assuming medium tulip bulbs will result in total confusion while heavy tulip bulbs have better prospect in changing a chicken if they're used in accordance to the accompanying manual. For optimal performance please use factory defaults, alternative/jazz/rock/pop/reggae settings are not guaranteed not to blow it all up.

What is the alternative?
 
  • #115
when considering chickens, you must remember to what extent do the tulip bulbs effect the average human being, and when thinking about this issue, do you a. get confused, b. get pissed off as you know how much more sense this makes than the last message, or c. need to reply in order to make you feel like u have accomplished something in your pittiful little unfortantly exsisting lifes!

There is no alternative, the answer to everything is 42.

Does this mean that 42-year-old should have all of the answers?

No, first you must reach 42, then you must surpass it, then, and only then, when regressing back to the age of your original enlightenment, about 5, will you even begin to realize that, NO!, you do not now, nor will you ever, have all of the answers, because, and only because, you will be missing one singular piece of information, and I will never-tell you that one,Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

What is the missing piece of information?

(A classically stupid question, cause only I can answer it! {Re-insert string of Ha Ha's Here!} and as I said, I'll never tell, well maybe tomorrow, but......)

That if the answer to everything, and what the actual question is (to everything) are both known at the same time, obviously, we will all be sucked into a great big ball of silly-string.

How many paths must a man walk down?
 
  • #120
The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind. In other words, this is a very good example of how pigs and politicians have the same beginning but end differently.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggy lives, why should we live in these dummy boring piggy hives?

By telling it nasty stories about the nucleus. They get a real charge out of that…

Probably something to do with 42 sheep jumping in and out of a puddle of muddy slush.

Answer to Boulderhead's question:

Within reason (believe me, that is a very stupid answer (*hopes there are no women reading this*)).

Why were women every considered the "weaker vessel"?

Because we men were and are completely mistaken about nearly everything.
*ducks head down into shoulders and cuts eyes left and right.*


I think women are fantastical. Could they be the center of the Universe and what life is all about?

One "stupid quetion" at a time, boulderhead.

The stupid answer to your quetions are (in the order of there having been asked):

1) Yes.
2) Women.
 
  • #131
Well, depends on how massive they are. If they are indeed of sufficient girth to act as a center for the universe, (as some studies suggest <insert disreputable science website here> ) then we would have no alternative but to accept that conclusion.

I'd be afraid to express it in polite society but surely the angle of the dangle would be equal to something...



Are perturbations from large asteroids a part of these computations?
 
  • #133
The largest known asteroid (ca. 932 km diameter) is Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, grain and the maternal love. Since it is maternal love it can't be focused on the audience who've long since left their motherly concerns. Viewed computationally, the effects are large enough to outweigh Europa's burning love and you know

"Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's going to check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's going to wait until you get in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mama's going to keep baby healthy and clean
Oh baby! Oh baby! Oh baby!
You'll always be baby to me"

No haven't seen them, but I suspect that that is what we were all fed at the soup kitchen, sometime last week.

If Xazen (Zah-zen) means 'beyond zen', and my e-mail address is Xazen13, does your fear of e-mailing me make you Xazen13aphobic?

Of course it does, what kind of a stuid quetion was that?
(In point of fact, a phobia is an unbased fear, but that would be the smart answer...)

How many different kinds of stupid quetion are there?
 
  • #136
Negative three.

One at a time.


Which size floppy do you prefer to have; the 3.5 or the 5.25?
 
  • #139
The 3.5 will fit into either slot...

Will the next-smaller floppy be a 1.75 or a 2+1/3?
 
  • #140
Neither. First we had 5 + 1/4 and then 3 + 1/2 so the next must be either 1 + 1/1 which makes 2 that will surely fit in all slots.

Are we going wild rude?
