Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer

No, they would finned it annoying

Why do classical musicians get so much praise when they have to have all their songs written down? You don't see status quo or phil collins struggling to remember the songs they are there to play.

[Jubal]

Those sheets in front of them aren't actually music - they're their orders from galactic warlord Zircon the Dark. The praise is so his chosen minions don't wreak their revenge upon the rest of our human kindred.

Has there ever been a time before now when more people have known the meaning of the word prorogue?

[Ierne]

yes, during the great Pro Rogue rally of 1405, the famous Mediaeval celebration of con men and jewel theives.

why didn't the universe let even one species of dinosaur survive the extinction?

[Jubal]

The alternative was killing off the birds, and, well, have you ever tried facing down an angry chicken?

Why is TEI the standard not graph encodings?

[Tusky]

Because the fat cats and the higher ups just cant cope with your maverick ways

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and discovered you were a clown

[Jubal]

World domination would seem an obvious first step, I think.

Why aren't there more violins?

[Ierne]

violins were driven to the brink of extinction through competition for resources with cellos, which are larger, more agressive, and an invasive species.

why did anybody ever think mint choc chip ice cream was a good idea?

why has a fellow d&d player decided their tiefling is now purple, having portrayed him as a completely different colour for over a year???

[Jubal]

His mauvetivations remain obscure.

Why am I not managing to make my comic funny any more?

[Tusky]

Because your funny bone has been replaced by a stick of celery. You should be able to just put the funny bone back in it's place, then you'll have a healthy snack to enjoy whilst you come up with some hilarious dialogue and situations.

If a opening a jam jar jarred jar jar binks, would he be put off eating the jam altogether, or move on to something like marmalade

[Jubal]

What makes you think he was opening the jar in order to eat the jam?


Why has the cow plague inspired such sudden terror?

[Tusky]

Because cows like to stand in fields, eat grass, and do business. I think that many garden owners are concerned that their lawns will become unmanicured.

Do you think that shirts should be called shorts, and shorts called shirts? Because shirts have one more "o" shaped opening (4) than shorts do (3). Surely the shirt is more deserving of having an "o" in it?

[Jubal]

It's because, in short, people, especially short ones, get shirty about shirts and shorts, so that if one were to swap shorts and shirts, shortly shirty short short-wearers (some wearing short shorts and some indeed wearing shirts with their shorts, some of which may be short shirts) would surely shorten the tenure of the shirt whose short career had led to the short-shirt debacle.

What sort of business do cows do, mostly?
