Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer

[Jubal]

No, most gravy boats wouldn't fit in an average sized can, which would therefore be an inappropriate storage solution.

How do you model data?

[Tusky]

Do you mean Data, the fictional android from Star Trek TNG, or the technopop band from Norway? I suppose both are roughly humanoid so clay should work!

I was watching the tour de France recently and it struck me that bicycles are excellent in terms of space taken up on the road. You can get so many of those racers in a group! So why don't we make cars all bicycle sized? They'd need to use a motor instead of having to pedal them, obviously - otherwise drivers could just use a bicycle!

Congestion problems would be a thing of the past!

[Jubal]

As we all know cars are bigger than bicycles, so if we made cars bicycle sized bicycles would then be too tiny to ride, which would become a problem, especially because then we'd recalibrate the meaning of bicycle size, shrink all the cars again, and thus personal transport would be entirely unuseable.

How can I set a congestion charge for my sinuses so my current illness has to pay me money for clogging them up?

[The Seamstress]

I don't know, tbh. But I hope the illness is gone by now, if not, sue it and win so you at least get some financial gain out of the whole ordeal. You actually could sue it anyway, for the inconvenience it caused.

Why does my rabbit eat the carpet?

[Jubal]

Because in its view there can only be one kind of pet. All others, like this fiendish "car pet" must be removed!


Why is everything made of floor tiles?

[The Seamstress]

Because the rabbits have eaten all the car-pets, destroying their com-pet-itors on their way to world domination.

Can Mothman swim?

[Jubal]

Yes but only the man part.

How would a mothmandolin sound?

[The Seamstress]

Screeching.

What happens when you mix flour, liquid soap, a light bulb, honey, three batteries, half a litre of vinegar, a teaspoon of salt, a pineapple, and 2 metres of wire, then put the result into a magic suitcase, shake it, and wait 20 minutes?

[Jubal]

I think that's the secret recipe for Tuco and Jafeth's 80-in-1 Shower Gel.


If you spent a while contemplating the Mighty Mushroom of Mundifron, what would the effects be on the Uruguayan economy?

[The Seamstress]

Given that even after some forum-research I'm not entirely sure who or what The Mighty Mushroom of Mundifron is or does... the effect on the Uruguayan economy would probably be negligible.

Who invented clouds?

[Jubal]

Mr. Peter Clouds, of 22b Alkin Street, Ainsworth. He sadly did not live to see the benefits of his invention due to dying of lung mould brought on by excessive water vapour inhalation during his experiments.

What makes this question a stupid question?

[The Seamstress]

Well, this is a stupid question & answer thread, so all questions asked herein are stupid questions. Simple as that.

Which cryptid is the most cryptic?

[Jubal]

I asked several, but their answers were too cryptic to decrypt the crypticity of the cryptids.

Why shouldn't I give the aliens teapots?

[The Seamstress]

Depends. Some aliens might not have hands, so couldn't hold them anyway. Others might try to transform the teapots into weapons of mass tea-struction. As much as I like tea, that would probably not be advisable. They might also wear them as hats, creating a trend and thus causing the global teapot industry to struggle because of the high demand for fancy teapots.

What would be the benefits of teaching crocodiles human language?

[Jubal]

Mostly finding out what they really think about alligators.

Who actually controls the global teapot industry?
