    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.

Answer: Due to some technical difficulties with time, the question is running late. Weirdas, AMW Bonfire.com, Microsoft and God all apologize for any inconvenience caused. The question should be up and running within the year.
This was the start of it. :biggrin:

Oh man. :smile: I read this and cracked up... erm.. I mean... I was very annoyed. :smile:

New Question: (Beta version, v0.3) Despite the cost of living, why does it remain so popular?

Because it is by the AMW.INC company but they did not know the manager was so unusual.

Lol, AMW.Inc.? My business... It's called "The Bob". So please forward all complaints to The Bob.

The Bob's email is... wait, better not give it out. Don't want him getting spammed. Send it to me instead! mail@amwbonfire.com if you would like to spam me (don't bother, I've got nifty spam blockers, and A LOT of time. But try anyway!)

What is the cheapest way to run a computer?

Hm, it depends on what you mean by run. I'll assume you mean operate.

The cheapest way to run it is to turn off the monitor, because that uses roughly double the amount of electricity as the rest of the computer. Secondly, turn off the computer, because that's using power too. And, as we know, electricity costs money, and we're looking to run it cheaply.

After that, disconnect your peripherals, as they could be draining electricity when you're not looking. Next, go to your fuse box and turn off electricity to your house. This is wasting money, and you don't need that. After disconnecting your electricity supply, blow up your streets overhead power lines, or it's underground power lines. A simple bomb should do it. Now, go to your power grid, and blow that up too. You'll want to make sure the backup generators are also taken out by the blast, as these will just kick in when the main power is down. This will cost money, and you don't want that.

After solving the problem for your city, you'll now want to go to all surrounding cities and blow up their energy sources as well. This will mean everyone runs their computers at the lowest possible cost! Your neighbours will be really pleased with this money-saving idea, and frankly, you'll be happy too!

Again, another brilliant answer. :smile:

It is the way they are said. Fat Chance is normally said harshly and Slim Chance is normally said with less of a kick in it.

Well first they tried to dig the hole through the channel but it kept filling up with water. There was also a plan to dig the hole over the channel, but fortunately the administrators were sacked before anyone tried to implement this.

But what happened to the plan to use a line of large catapults to fling people and goods back and forth across the channel?

[Hmm... maybe I need to get on the same page as everyone else...]

The plans were stopped because the catapults were not big enough.

How can we build bigger catapults?

His strap on Super Swiss Army knife, featuring :
1. jet-pack
2. dual ruby laser
3. molybdenum based X-ray tube

Were the creators of Superman passing on some coded message to the reader when they named the town that he grew up in (...heck, what did they call it...aaaah...wait...Small-something...mmmm...got it) Small-willy ?

The incorrect spelling of a "stupid quetion".

When it is spelt wrong for one.

Why fly die?

Fly fly here, and fly fly there
Where fly fly, the fly don't care.
Sometime fly will close both eye
And fly into wall; then fly just die.

Yes they are, especially when their axis positioned between two pillow block bearings such to provide load support for a rotating shaft.

What are the best dimensions for cowburger patties ?

x. With t it gets creapier, after a while it implodes releasing spores, and each of these spores have the potential of becoming a new cow.

They were hoping such a tiny name would go unobserved by the general populace.

You mean, besides the legs that straddle the bun ? No, not much.

Have you ever seen a cow get bored of chewing the cud and just spitting the damn thing out and getting a life ?
 
  • #1,458
Yes, you could see in its eyes the occurance of an original thought. Shortly thereafter it did break through the fence in search of greener pastures.

Why do they call it Animal Husbandry?
 
  • #1,459
'Cause the term was invented by a bunch of male chauvinist pigs.

You've heard the thing about the pig's orgasm, right ?
 
  • #1,460
Unsure.

Does it curl round and round too?
 
  • #1,461
No, that's the billy-goat.

Why don't billy goats shave their goaties ? Is it a macho thing ?
 
  • #1,462
It's a goat thing to look and smell fierce.

NN thought that (the wine) might provide some (vibration) "damping".

I know a guy that built his speakers using sand and lead filled double layer ply-wood walls.
