    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.

Depends on whom you curse, usually curses find their way along with philosophical statements. If that isn't the case, you'll go curved instead of cursed.

Becasue the stupid quentions were soooooo stupid, that no one, and I mean NO ONE, could come up with anything, even seemingly close, to a stuuuuupid responce, or the answer is 42! (I not all that certain, heh heh heh hee!)

He may be driven by instinct to never pass up an opportunity.

It's a philosophical comment on the cyclic nature of spacetime, duh.

What is the point of the saying "wolf in sheep's clothing", considering that neither wolves nor sheep wear any clothing?

Why do sci-fi aliens never say hello, only "we come in peace" or "DIE DIE DIE"?

For the one decipherable SETI@home message for them was some politician (don't know who) shouting "we come in peace, otherwise, DIE DIE DIE" at some poor microphone.

Because that is not what we are looking for, we want stuuuuuuupid Quetions, from intelligent people, because this is the most intelligent form of stupidity that we can all possibly EI vent in.

Or, you forgot that the answer would be 42, cause it is!

Is this really the most intelligent form of stupidity that we can all indulge in?

We use the scalar version of the stupidity ratings scale that is an indicator of the reversed & inverted function of the intellectual duality that monitors the irrelevance of the manner of postulation the is encompassed in the prepetrators pre-pondered pre-ponderance for the imperically derived limitations upon the subsequential quotiant that is a gradient of the factors at play in the determining to the scales limited ends point that are only, most certainly only found by this method, as all other methods have clearly been proven conclusively to have failed at measureing anything other then obfuscated irrational fears that have been photographically feared from the presentation of the immediate responce.

Get it?

If x plus Y are = to Z, then why isn't the answer 42?
 
  • #158
x plus y equals z, /ix ples why eekwalz zee/
that makes a nice 43. /thaat maiksss a naice forti three/

If 43 succeeds 42, shouldn't it be considered closer to an answer to the life, universe and everything?
 
  • #159
Nope, since the centre of the number sequence is 42. Hence it is scientifically shown that since 43 is further from 42 than 42, it is in fact less of the truth.

Why must we not mention the war to the Germans?

42 (please don't let this become the answer to all of the quetions, just because it's supposed to be the answer to everything).

It means a grape many things, unlike orange which has no meaning at all, so in knowing what purple means, we look at the royalty of the nature of the purple.

I'm thinking Moore's Law can't keep up with all that.

{ψ: ψ ∈ [0, 1]}

Shouldn't that have been obvious?
 
  • #172
No, not as obvious as {r/r | r a non-zero real number}.

If we show arbitrary natural numbers with n, arbitrary real numbers with r, then why don't we show arbitrary whole numbers with z?
