    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.

I grew up in Cognito, Texas. It's up in the panhandle by Lubbock.

Why are people who need people the luckiest people in the world? Wouldn't people who don't need people be better off, since they are self-sufficient?

Your Quetion makes no sense. :-p (Someone answer it for me).

This is a truly ignorant quetion. There are no people that don't need people. (I thought Bryan Adams resolved this matter once and for all with Somebody, but apparently not.) "Everybody needs somebody."

However, there are people that don't need other people. Note the difference here. The 'other people' refers to people outside of 'the people' in question. For example, the population of planet Earth hasn't had the need for other people - well, except for a number of "abductees", UFO sighters, Raelians and some Beverly Hills cult members.

So, what's up with the Raelians lately ? (alternatively : Where's the clone army ?)

Because like most other fruits, cheese is usually round.

Normally Tetrahedrons.

Why is milk not called 'The white stuff from Cows'?

The Bob (2004 ©)
 
  • #1,482
Cause everything that comes from the cow is white, it's hair, it's diafragma, it's milk, it's nails, it's scit (nitrate) and eh... you know. SPORES!

Besides what would we call our galaxy, Whityway?

Huh? Hold on... Carrot Cubed = 9 times as many Carrots or a Cubed Carrot. I think.

Can someone check my vegatable maths please?

I think you will find it is swede.

What happens when you cross multiply a carrot, a potato and a swede?

Carrot x Potato x Swede = Carrot/(Carrot x Potato x Swede) x Potato/(Carrot x Potato x Swede) x Swede/(Carrot x Potato x Swede) = Fruit.

Strange, no?

Not as strange as the giraffopotamus that just crawled out from between my sofa cushions.

How come Americans say math, when it is short for "mathematics"?
 
  • #1,495
because we only know how to do one kind of mathematic, not like you smart limeys who do lots of mathematics.

About half a kerry, but that's just my opinion.

Do you believe all the BS in that crazy "Evolution Theory" ?

To a point.

On that point, what is the sharpest point that point can have?

This seems like a pointless quetion. I refuse to answer. I'll only answer stupid quetions. :wink: 'Cause that's what stupid people do...

If you see stupid and pointless walking down the street, how do you tell which is which ?

Stupid will be walking down, the wrong way, a one way street.
Pointless will not be walking as he will be sat at home seeing no point in walking.

I believe your punctuation is incorrect. It should be: It's been a long and windy road, 'Wot'. The long and windy road is called The Wot.

I've never ansered my own quetion, so I'll take at shot at this, just for kicks (or for some other reason, you decide) : My guess is that there's divine intervention, of the feminine kind.

Zoob went traveling with the gray space aliens again. In his frame of reference they are only going to be gone for six months, but those space ships go pretty darn fast (close to light speed, he told me once).

How old will we be when Zoob gets back?
