    Anyone else think of stupid questions that no one knows the answer to? Well People possibly do know the answers to the questions, but alot of them make no sense.

    Like,


    What's the youngest you can die of old age?

    or

    If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?

    or

    Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp which no decent human being would eat?

    or

    Can you cry under water?

    or

    If two identical twin brothers married identical twin sisters, would there kids be identical?

    or

    Where does the smell go if a space man farts in space in a space suit?

    Any one got any more? :D

    If a bear was baptised a Roman Catholic, would that mean that the Pope would sh!t in the woods? If so, but he was alone, would it make a shroud?

    Do stuttering people stutter when they're thinking to themselves?

    If you put a chameleon in a room full of mirrors, what color would it turn?

    You just can't handle life on on the edge man. Fast cars, fast toast, and fast women, that's how the KING rolls.

    I'll go with no to the first one, 'cos when deprived of hearing themselves while speaking, stutterers generally stop.

    The Chameleon wouldn't recognise itself and would turn whatever was the appropriate colour for seeing another Chameleon, which is social signalling rather than primarily camouflage. Probably a darker colour for anger and threat.

    I would so love to have a go at answering all the questions in the thread.

    I'm going with yes, 'cos taking off from a aircraft carrier or hitting turbulence unsecured could see a pilot knocked out and unable to complete his mission.

    50 for a short time, then 100 when I threw the first 50 back at you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki

    Why is the cuckoos nest the bin of After Hours?

    Why am I so itchy?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44,501 ✭✭✭✭Deki


    The cuckoos nest is not really a forum it was sort of an experimental dumping ground
    sort of like burying the toxic waste out in the boonies where years later things seep out and cause strange mutations. That is the real reason there are no thanks allowed.
    Ah, and that probably is the explanation for your itchiness. You don't have any little itchy nubs might be turning into an extra limb do you? I'd keep an eye open for any changes - you know scaly patches of fish skin or maybe a set of gills opening beneath your arms?

    Do you spend a lot of time in the nest?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,706 ✭✭✭Matt Holck


    a fair amount

    put this on

    I will but it may be too late for some of us. It would explain that one around here that yells so much. You know the tentacled one. I think AH toxic dumps have taken their toll on him poor thing.

    A new monk arrived at the monastery. He was assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He noticed, however, that they were copying copies, not the original books. The new monk went to the head monk to ask him about this. He pointed out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.

    The head monk said, 'We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.' The head monk went down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

    Hours later, nobody had seen him, so one of the monks went downstairs to look for him. He heard a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and found the old monk leaning over one of the original books, crying.

    He asked what was wrong.

    'The word is celebrate', sobbed the head monk.

    if you ignore mutations and crossing over then the chances are 8,388,608 to 1
    (because we have 23 chromosome pairs)

    Of course the odds go down if they have more than one kid each

    Poor old thing all those years wasted.

    IIRC it's recursive

    but the fact that there are things you don't know shows that there is more to then universe than your consciousness.

    Though in your case it may actually be a hamster pulling the strings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭Storminateacup


    If our knees bent the other way we could stand on our knees and drag the rest of the leg behind us as we walk up and down temple bar like a freakshow using our disability to extort money from gullible tourists

    I was never under the misapprehension that I was the dreamer (I would not have this dream if someone paid me):o

    Are you claiming to be a string pulling hamster?:mad:
