Ask A Stupid Question...

[Beverly]

But if you never put you foot in your mouth, do others truly perceive you as human?

 

[tree]

Foot sucking isn't among the characteristics noted
for determining sentience or humanity.

Since it looks like I may have to answer Post #138's
question regarding the popularity of boy bands
like EXO, who wants to see a generator on that
topic?

 

[Flinty]

I might, but I'm more tolerant of boy bands than most.

Isn't a comic convention a horrible place for one with ASD?

Maybe it's the same way a restaurant is fun to be
in---when all the people are gone.

What is an infallible way to detect paranoid schizophrenia?

 

[Vinca]

Well, if you gather lots of fallibles together, make a coat out of them and put it on, you will be 'in'-fallible and be able to detect Paranoid Schizophrenia with an 100% success rate.


Why does the light go out when I close my eyes?

 

[tree]

A bright thing like a light has things to do
and places to go and is not content to be
merely the light of your life, so when you're
not looking, it naturally takes advantage of that
situation and goes out on its own, having
adventures that you never see, because you
have shut your eyes & are in the dark.

Does anybody know how to delete IM contacts from GMail?

 

[Flinty]

Probably.

Does anyone know when I'm going to get my affidavit?

 

[tree]

...as for that day and hour no one knows it--not even the angels in heaven...

If spaghetti is plural, is the singular form of the noun, 'spaghettus'?

 

[Flinty]

My guess is that it would be "spaghetto", similar to "graffiti"/"graffito".

Why would anyone spend $900 on glasses if given the choice to spend less?

 

[metalminx24]

Because some people are bonkers, and common sense is an alien concept to them. Personally, I've never met a pair of glasses I haven't sat/stood on/otherwise broken, so there's no point in me spending more than a fiver.

Why is Moglet only playful when the toy to be attacked is my hand?

 

[psychotopsy]

Because then the toy is moving, obviously.

My question is.. Why do people produce mugs and bowls separately when they are essentially the same thing (mugs are just taller in length but narrower in diameter so their sizes are actually roughly the same)?

 

[Flinty]

To treat heat and evaporation differently would be my guess.

Is Texas really that big?

People dye their hair pink so they can hear the voices of candy floss.

Why is food that tastes really good, never the healthy option?

You may have a zinc deficiency.

If there are tater tots, who are the parents?

 

[Flinty]

The workers at Taco Time, who call them Mexi Fries for some reason.

Why am I confusing William Blake with Henry Blake?

 

[Mia]

Because a Blake by any other name is spelled the same, or poetry and mash are read and watched the same day.



Why can't I create a rotunda in my garden?

 

[ambientdynamics]

Why in the universe are we being told to ask a stupid question?

 

[Vinca]

We are being told to ask a stupid question so that we can have our daily dose of laughter medicine.


Why is Harry Potter's surname 'Potter' when he isn't a potter?

 

[tree]

He must carry the surname Potter for two reasons.
1. He potters about.
2. He is an English boy, not German. If he were a German boy, his name
could be a marvelously constructed polysyllabic German word, but he is
of an ethos in which words are comparatively terse.

Why didn't somebody answer Mia 's question
about making a rotunda?
