    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.

Woohoo, a brand new forum to post in! Just thought it didn't feel quite right without this here. So in the tradition of PF 2.0 ask a stupid "quetion" and get a stupid answer back.

So to begin... How long do you think it takes to reach a 1000 posts in this topic again?

The answer is contingent upon many factors: the state of the gravity at the time in question, how much helium has been inhaled, who is in office, does it come with corn-on-the-cob or cole slaw, and many other variables uncertain.Let's propose the following scenario: the fruit is polished, everything in SR and GR has been indisputably proven true, Homer's Odessy is lying open on the table at page 167, the butler passed away of a heart attack the night before, but no one realizes it yet, there is no music playing, there's plenty of toilet paper in all the stalls, and three students of Chaos Theory in three separate North American locations simultaneously forget their own E-Mail adresses? What do you suppose?

Well while "sup-posing" I have this tendency to want to lie down, as it is in a supine position that 'posing' is accomplished for the longest duration of the increment of the needed restitutional perception that "Rights" the 'right' that has been not offended at the imposition of the perenial estimation of the lacking nessesity (that wasn't offered) while it's procurement was availed to the awaiting departed inasmuch as it all went really, really well!

I do think, yes. Thinking is pretty much all I do. In the past two weeks I have hardly left the Zooby brush shelter at all I have been so busy thinking. I think I should get out more. That seems like something worth thinking about. I'll think about it.Having recently read through the Minnesota Mail Order Bride's hand scrawled autobiographical sketches dispatched by flying messenger monkeys and received by me yesterday I find myself quite touched by her account her sufferings since having contracted MagnaMantisPreditoriality Syndrome, how many fiances she has lost due to post-coital hunger and subsequent anthropophagy, and I wonder if there isn't some way to change her into a furry, cute bunny instead using cutting edge physics and whatever might be lying around the kitchen or garage?

Well, normally I don't advise such things, but (apparently) if you insert a regular barrel pen into the nose, (using it as the passageway for "the probe") and substitute a Robertson screwdriver for "The Probe", you can apparently re-adjust, or reset, the "tuning within" (on some models only!) but the precursory vulgarity that forewarns of the resultant ensuite tells of possibilities in the balancing systems subsystemic systemology, by siesmic inferance from site soundings, so it becomes the old adage "Buyer Bewear"

So, given this turn of events, do you think that the rotation of the twist was torrdially inspired by the revolution of the "Volvo" (the Greek, not the Latin) that as turned upon the wheel that spun the rotating disc towards the circularity of the rotational motions that were turned (to be seen spinning) in the 'round about' manner of rotation that attempted to exit, using the portal that was a connection to the elbow that turned towards the entrance of the exit (therein) in the back of the rear (facing the front) latched to the attachment that was pinned to the document that was stapled to the glued on partition of the interceeding intervention that caused the events that arose from the arisal of the emitting of the emission of emitants emitted, (in an 'E-missionary' position...HUH??) for the purpose of making the injector unite with the ejection systems direct injection process's, that injects a corner into the bend that goes around the right angle towards the point (that isn't pointed!) as per its cause, "having end" in its beginning, well, at the end of the beginning of the other that began whilst ending on a sour notation that rounded up to corner the end that wasn't spun, but spinning, connected and plugged into the receptacle that was receiving the end, of the beginning, that hadn't begun, thereby begging the question, (clearly) what for?

For begging and questioning, clearly. You can, all you want, but I won't divulge. It's all encoded in gum pressed under table #2 at a cafe in Paris, Le Lapin Dormant, if you're really interested. Tolouse Lautrec once sat at that table. But his feet didn't reach the ground....becomes the old adage "Buyer Bewear"

Given the true nature of a Zoobonians foot, removing the W from the word Be Ware becomes the attentive indicator of the requisite wording: "Buyer Beear!"

Well, while waiting where we were, we went west, whipping wipes with "Wild West" wonderment, wonderful?? well, wine went well with western wear, wasn't while we waited, was while we wasted wallpaper's wistful "wastelandscape water well"?...was women who want wantonly? whooshing wonderfully? well, wasn't...who was?

YUP!..."On D-Day we dropped dummy soldiers on parachuttes over parts of Europe to confuse the Germans as to where the real invasion would take place."

While vactioning in Europe, on D-Day, there were a number of "dummy soldiers" dropped upon our heads (No! not literally!.. your so silly to think that!) and we then ascertained that they were, in fact, and in reality, NOT dummies, (they passed their respective IQ tests with parchuting colors) hence the question is sought, (to be responded to) that was, and had, been asked by the questioner?

Stermitaceous: of, or pertaining to, the Stermite period, the time when wild "stermites" ruled the planet, "stermiting" the enemies and friends alike...for further explanations see Stermitisms, Stermitatic, Stermitatisized, Stermiticious, and Stermitisisms...

Protection during the age of the Stermites was afforded to a very small percentage of life forms by virtue of their being genetically Anstermititic, that is: resistent to being stermitatisized. They were not affected by stermitisms, or stermitisisms, either. Some paleontologists have proposed that frustration at not being able to do anything having the least stermitatic effect on these life forms could in fact be what killed the Stermites off in the end. That, though, is just a theory.Several recent discoveries among the papers of W.A. Mozart have given rise to considerable doubt as to whether he is the true composer of Mozart's unfinished piano quintet, or perhaps quartette, no one can tell, in three and 4/5ths movements, in the key of c# major, which most scholars believe would be the very first piece he ever composed in the 9th year of his life, were it to be authenticated as one of his, but several meaures of the mysteriously separately copied out manuscript of the 2nd violin part are clearly in the hand of the young genius' father, Mr. Mozart, which has people wondering how much of a hand the elder Mozart had in the whole piece to begin with, a possible explanation for why no one in particular can find much musical merit in this piece, authentic or not, but we can't be sure. Who, then, would like more coffee?

Well Stermitetically speaking, I would like more caffeine, but 4/5ths in the key of "C Corporal", would be the only way it could be done, with the Attached 'Codicil of need' of the authentification of the fraud by ways (and means!) of the truest of lie tellers detecting the heinous methodology of impuning the reality of the right of the authorial person'ages to do, what they had done, in the manner that they hadn't done it, to the very realistic reality that actually occurs in reality, sort of like the Fraud who wasn't fraudulent, ergo De Frauded...not to be confus'd with de Freuded, or "in-blottio"!

It's funny you should mention the phenomenon of questions arising because it leads me by the most circuitous and circumstantial route imaginable to a story once related by a Polish aviator of my acquaintaince: One night his wife declined saying she had her period. He replied:" Well, if you're going to play the punctuation card, dear, I'll see your period, and raise you an exclamation point!" I'm not sure if he made that up himself or if he read it in a bathroom stall. Recently, in a bathroom stall, I scribbled the following limerick:

"That croc-teasing bloke from down under,
Got quite drunken and started to wonder
If instead of a stick,
He could prod with his d*ck,
Now to pee, he must sit. What a blunder!"

Did I make that up, or is it something a Polish aviator of my acquaintaince once told me after having read it in a bathroom stall?

Well YES! you made it up in a bathroom stall while writting it out on the backside of your assitant Oooops I mean the backside of the John (while still having an enourmous Dump quite the accomplishments in life there young man,you're going to be going places in life) wherein the outlining of it appeared to you in the dreaming state that you are about to experience in about umpteen numerlogically speaking days, the "No" Space so be as prepared as you werein the last venture as to no that it is the "No" and not, no!

Well I (wudyaknow?) tell you that it is really the description of that act of "Squorchering" (which is said to be really really difficult to do) hence we would know that "squorcherly" would be: "someone who was in possession of such a quality of characteristic activities" "A squorcherly Person" "Known to partake in the act of Squorcherings" and then there the Dictionaries definition! but we really don't care about that...now,
