Stupid Question Thread (1 Viewer)

[chet]

I saw this on another board and thought I'd try it here.

In this thread, you can feel safe to ask stupid questions without fear of ridicule or mockery. You can pose questions like, "Why is a 6" pizza not half of a 12" pizza," without getting emasculated.

So ask away!

I will start.

Why do they call it beheading instead of deheading?

 

[jon_mx]

Why isn't it demasculated?

if you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?

What do batteries run on?

After they make styrofoam, what do they ship it in?

 

[Fennis]

What's another word for Thesaurus?

If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happen if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?

 

[Fennis]

If you tell a joke in the forest, but nobody laughs, was it a joke?

why doesn't this fantasy football site that is one of the leaders in the industry have year long ongoing redraft rankings that get adjusted as things like free agency and the draft happen.....?

How do they get deer to cross at those yellow road signs?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a picture of a thousand words worth?

 

[jon_mx]

How do they get deer to cross at those yellow road signs?

They don't!!! That damn deer never follow the signs. I saw one cross this morning in front of me and there wasn't a sign around anywhere. I called the cops.

Is "tired old cliché" a tired old cliché?

Who was the first person to see an egg come from a chicken's butt and think, "I'll bet that would be good to eat?

Aaaaand welcome to the Stephen Wright appreciation thread, where everything is in walking distance if you have the time.

Same guy who woke up after a night of drinking in a field somewhere, with a bull standing over his head, looked up and said to himself, "I will call these Rocky Mountain Oysters"

 

[Raider Nation]

I'll play. Why is there a "dressing room" in hockey instead of a locker room?

1. Only if you want to keep other people from hearing the gun shot.2. A difference in electrical potential energy leads to the flow of electricity.

3. Trucks, trains, planes or boats.

A thousand words, you answered it already!

Depends how big the piece of toast is.

Perpetual motion. Stick a rod up that cat's ### and connect it to a generator. You've got free energy.

I envision vast power plants with thousands and thousands of spinning cats. When you visit, you may want to bring ear plugs.

Why do we park in a driveway, but drive on a parkway?

 

[Das Boot]

Is it pee?

 

[Ilov80s]

Why do we park in a driveway, but drive on a parkway?

I do drive on driveways. You telling me you push your car on and off them? I don't park on parkways because it would impede traffic and be very dangerous.

 

[Ilov80s]

Is it pee?

Depends who you ask.

 

[kutta]

These questions have nothing to do with the pizza example.

 

[eoMMan]

When I hold in my poop for a really long time, am I doing long-term harm to my internal organs?

 

[Flying V]

Why do they tax unemployment income? Couldn't they just give you 10% less?

 

[Das Boot]

Is there any such thing as a dumb question?

 

[Chaka]

No, there are only dumb people who ask questions.

I spilled some spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone.

 

[jon_mx]

Is there any such thing as a dumb question?

How far of a drive from San Francisco to California?

How tall is the north pole?

Do you have to speak Latin if you visit Latin America?

If a fetus beats off in his mother's womb, is that incest?

I do drive on driveways. You telling me you push your car on and off them? I don't park on parkways because it would impede traffic and be very dangerous.

Pulling in and out of a driveway isnt really driving...which begs the next question...why is it called pulling in and out of a driveway when you're actually pulling onto and off of it? And why is it called pulling instead of driving? Why do we 'pull over' to the side of a road?

I just blew my own mind.

Parking and unparking.

Sometimes.

My wife had one for me a long time ago. We were set to head out to a party and I had just stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around me and she asks "Are you ready"

 

[Keerock]

What would happen if I flew south, to the South Pole? Would I just stop, or keep going?

Good job. That IS a stupid question.

Only a stupid question if you weren't going to a toga party.

Driveways are called driveways because you drive on them from the street to your parking location (garage/car-hole). Generally you do not park on a driveway, and it's not a driveway unless it connects from the street to a parking structure. If there's no garage at the other end, it's not a driveway. It's just a carport or a bunch of asphalt in your yard.

Parkways are called parkways because they are intentionally lined with trees to look like a park. The term was originally used only for scenic drive highways. Usually, such roads had tolls to pay for maintenance of the scenery, and "parkway, which looks like a park" sounds better than "toll road, which you'll have to pay to use". The alternate was, of course, the one you don't have to pay to use, the "freeway".
