Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer

I asked some people from Pompeii for the answer to your question. They were a bit stony-faced about the whole thing.

Stag beetles or Longhorn beetles?

[Tusky]

Jam.

I think that may have been intended for the what would you rather thread....

If the Earth temps were the opposite way round (poles were really warm, and around the equator was really cold) would the egyptians have build giant igloos for the pharoes?

[Caradìlis]

No, they would of course have built icebergs, duh...

What colour is grey?

[comrade_general]

That one over there.

Can a dead duck fly to the moon?

[Tusky]

No, a fly duck can moon, a dead fly can duck, but never can a dead duck fly to the moon. It's one of those mysteries that has had scientists baffled for many years.

In the film E.T, when the titular E.T wanted to phone home, why did nobody explain that interstellar telephony was and still is far beyond the reach of humans.

[Caradìlis]

Because it isn't humans have just been complete douches to aliens over the years - why do you think they keep invading?

If red means 'no' and green means 'go', is brown a no-go?

[Jubal]

Depends if it smells bad.

Should ducks defenestrate geese, and if not why not?

[Caradìlis]

Birds should always defenestrate, how else are they going to start flying?

Why are clothing colours so unrealistic?

[Jubal]

Glitchy graphics software. You should get a driver update.

Why can't I boat to work tomorrow morning?

[Caradìlis]

Because this ain't Venice...

Why can't I just fly where I want to go?

[Tusky]

Because your wings are too small.

So a gyratory is like a circle / spiral (like the road thing), and if something is mandatory that means it is mandated.

Does that mean history is about hissing?

I dread to think what a rectory is...

[Caradìlis]

Yes, mainly. I mean most of what you hear is one ruler after the other throwing hissy-fit after hissy-fit..

Why do pretty books have to be so expensive?

[Tusky]

Good question. I think it's because they are made by celebrities so they cost a lot of money to hire

Do duck quacks reverberate?

[Jubal]

Only in your soul.

What is a cow, when you take away the cow?

[Caradìlis]

Leather.

Can you hear the people sing?
