View Full Version : The Stupid Questions Thread
TruthSeeker 05-26-06, 01:14 AM The following are stupid questions that I've always pondered since I was a child. Feel free to add yours or answer mine:
1) How many gallons of pee does a human expell throughout his life? How much for a year?
2) The same question as above, but in tons of the other one
3) How many litters of sperm does a man ejaculates in his entire life? How about all the sperm in the world per second? How about all the sperm ejaculated to date?
4) How many orgasms does humankind achieve every day? Every second? Every year? Since the dawn of mankind?
5) Why did the chicken cross the road?
6) Why women cannot read maps?
7) Why do we have couch potatoes but not potato couches?
8) How many monkeys are required to change infinity lightbulbs while typing the works of Shakespeare and Ionesco on an infinite number of typewriters?
9) How many farts does humankind expell per year? Per day? Since the conception of mankind? How about the same in gallons of fart?
And last but not least...
10) What was the fate of Shoedinger's cat?

5) Isaac Newton 's Answer:
The duck suggested to the chicken that they play
follow the leader then the duck crossed the road causing the chicken to cross after it, but at the same time holding up traffic, thus proving that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
8)http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/Continuum/equation3.gif . The size of c is the answer in years.
1) How many gallons of pee does a human expell throughout his life? How much for a year?
same amount as he drinks
2) The same question as above, but in tons of the other one
same amount as he drinks measured in tons
3) How many litters of sperm does a man ejaculates in his entire life? How about all the sperm in the world per second? How about all the sperm ejaculated to date?
If a man doesnt ejaculate then no sperm.
4) How many orgasms does humankind achieve every day? Every second? Every year? Since the dawn of mankind?
As many as there were women on earth^women on earth
5) Why did the chicken cross the road?
Bacause politics of life are harsh
6) Why women cannot read maps?
Because man do it for them meanwhile women help men concentrate by doing their stuff a woman should do.
7) Why do we have couch potatoes but not potato couches?
Define "we"...
8) How many monkeys are required to change infinity lightbulbs while typing the works of Shakespeare and Ionesco on an infinite number of typewriters?
lame hitchhikers fan...
9) How many farts does humankind expell per year? Per day? Since the conception of mankind? How about the same in gallons of fart?
as much as they can
10) What was the fate of Shoedinger's cat?
*drums* :eek:
it died like all the rest.
Your answers are about as dumb as the questions asked.
:D
dumb question. dumb answers.
intelligent questions. intelligent answers.
domesticated om 05-26-06, 08:19 AM If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it, does the sound that it makes sound like a falling tree?
leopold99 05-26-06, 08:23 AM If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it, does the sound that it makes sound a like a falling tree?
in this case it makes no sound
If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it, does the sound that it makes sound like a falling tree?
noone knows that the tree ever fell or moreover made any sound so we can safely assume the tree never existed and if we do find a fallen tree then we can deduce that the tree was like that all the time.
DJ Erock 05-26-06, 09:58 AM I was actually there one time when a tree fell in the woods and no one was around to hear it. oddly enough it sounded like a fog horn. why? the world may never know
Obviously you didn't count the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a totsie pop.
allisone417 05-26-06, 12:00 PM you guys drive me insane.
TruthSeeker 05-26-06, 01:51 PM If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it, does the sound that it makes sound like a falling tree?
Hey! That's not a stupid question! Go away! And take your intelligence with you! :D:D:D
What is sound? If you talk about the vibration of the ground and air, then yes... so long as I create the tree and it's environment for me to experience in my mind. haha.
Absane,
I like the "WTF" post. Cool! Is that supposed to be Ed sullivan?
I don't know.. I searched Google Images with the keyword "wtf"
same amount as he drinks
False, it must be less, some mass is used.
same amount as he drinks measured in tons
gallon of pee = ton, nice on dragon
Iīll assume itīs about 2 litres per day, so about 0,5 gallons.
That means 182,5 gallons per year.About 12 410 per human life.
If a man doesnt ejaculate then no sperm.
But they do ejaculate. The question is how much?
As many as there were women on earth^women on earth
That doesnt make any sense.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Depends who aswers. I like the "shool teacher" aswer: because the chicken wanted to be on the other side of the road.
Why women cannot read maps?
They canīt? Need some proof here...
Define "we"...
Us, humans. Donīt play stupid here :p
How many monkeys are required to change infinity lightbulbs while typing the works of Shakespeare and Ionesco on an infinite number of typewriters?
Infinity.
How many farts does humankind expell per year? Per day? Since the conception of mankind? How about the same in gallons of fart?
Per year=13 000 000
Per day= 35 616 43836
What was the fate of Shoedinger's cat?
It is/will be dead. If I remember this right, as soon as you look, it will be dead.
Hey! That's not a stupid question! Go away! And take your intelligence with you!
Well "5) Why did the chicken cross the road?" isnīt a stupid one to.Actually, it may be that there are no stupid questions, only stupid people asking questions. ;)
I tend to agree with that. A lot of practical questions that I ask that have obvious answers to most people do not mean I am stupid. I ask them because my mind isn't as simple as them... I see many possibilities and they don't. I guess that equated to not having any common sense, too. :eek:
TruthSeeker 05-26-06, 08:51 PM Yes, you are nonsense Absane... :p
TruthSeeker 05-26-06, 08:51 PM Ahhhhh.... The Cesspool....
How nice.... :D
Yes, you are nonsense Absane... :p
It's like, I know what I want to say... but even I am not sure if what I am saying makes sense or is even what I wanted to say. lol. Probably half of my posts on free-will probably aren't even what I really wanted to say, so I end up arguing something that makes no sense to me :bugeye:
TruthSeeker 05-26-06, 11:17 PM That makes sense. Apparently, believing in determinism have put you in a perpetual automatic pilot... :D
I truely do not know what I believe. I feel it is not answerable either way I argue. People claim to talk to God all the time, others claim God does not exist and has never heard a world from "God." Some think the universe has "always been," some think it has a begining. My stance neutral on God, the universe always has been, but in higher dimensions cascading down, and some infinities are bigger than others (well, no need to believe it, it's a proven fact. lol).
TruthSeeker 05-26-06, 11:42 PM No, infinity implies that nothing is bigger then itself. :D
I hope you are not serious. I just had a long discussion with Fraggle Rocker about this. haha. I would rather not do it again.
TruthSeeker 05-27-06, 03:19 AM Let's do it again! Let's do it again!
*jumps clapping hands*
Or, you could just read the past thread :D My fingers are about to fall off.
TruthSeeker 05-27-06, 03:02 PM Which thread!? No! I wanna discuss it right now! :D
Mwhuahuahuahuahuahuahua *rubs hands*
Here are my definitions:
Finity- a number which can be counted and expressed
Infinity- a number which cannot be counted because it never ends- nothing is bigger then infinity
Now... think about it. If infinity was just a big number, then by definition, infinity would be finite. So if that is the case, why not just call it a big finite number!?!?
Infinity implies a single number which no other number is bigger then it. There's also 1/infinity which is the smallest number possible.
So... the story of finity and infinity goes like this. The universe is infinite, both macroscopically and microscopically. Our brain perceives that and gets confused with such extreme amount of information. So it creates the illusion of finity in order to perceive the universe in a conscious way.
I keep trying to formulate my own technical definition of finite and infinite quantities, but it is hard for me to do this typing it. Give me a while and some motivation and I will try to formulate one. My idea has something to with relations, cardinality, and sets. Do you know of these?

Infinity can be counted to given infinite "leg room" to do so.. maybe count really fast... count by 5 very fast.. count by 1/10 very slowly...

No, some infinities are bigger than others. If you want to, as yu seem to be implying, that we call infinity a number, then there are numbers bigger than this number.
Also, 1/∞ is zero. Think of limits in calculus.. limit(x->∞ ) 1/x = 0.

I can't remember most of these... :D

Just numbers. Just as I told you.

If that is so, then the concept of infinity is useless!
Also, 1/∞ is zero. Think of limits in calculus.. limit(x->∞ ) 1/x = 0.
1/infinity goes to 0. Calculus points out the closest answer. 1/infinity is an incredibly small number.
It just keeps going, man. It's hard for people to see this because our brains can't handle it... :eek:
If that is so, then the concept of infinity is useless!
How so? Do you realize that it the cardinality of rational numbers (which is infinite) raised to itself is equal to the cardinality of real numbers (which is the union of rational and irrational numbers).. which is also infinite? Yet these two cardinalities are not equal to eachother.
1/infinity goes to 0. Calculus points out the closest answer. 1/infinity is an incredibly small number.
Are you suggesting that 0.000000..(infinite zeros later)..01 is the closest number you can get to zero? Do you realize that is not even a number? There is no closest number to zero. How would you represent this as a rational number? You cannot. How would you represent this as an irrational number? You cannot. Because in both cases, either you invent a number that does not exist or you invent a real one, but a smaller one can be found.

I can wrap myself around it. Just think about it :)

Precisely. Which is why our brains cannot process that information. :)

Oh really? What about what just happened above ^ ? ;)

This suggests that our axioms are wrong. So far our axoims have did a great job of explaining how the universe works. When will we see a contradiction?
TruthSeeker 05-28-06, 12:21 AM It has already started- with quantum physics. :)
TruthSeeker 05-28-06, 12:23 AM I'm an INTP too, btw... :)
I am not so sure... but I cannot tell so much online. It's easier to type in real life.
Squirrelly 05-28-06, 10:36 AM 10) Schrodenger's cat died of starvation, no one wanted to open the box to see which result would come out
TruthSeeker 05-28-06, 01:51 PM How do you know he died?
How do you know he died?
How do you know it was a he?
TruthSeeker 05-28-06, 02:16 PM Ok! How do you know it died!?
Ok! How do you know it died!?
because it was never alive. How de we know we are alive? What if this is just a dream? And thus...what if that cat was in a dream and was never alive?
TruthSeeker 05-28-06, 02:48 PM I don't.

UK sucks. So does America. When I am 25, I will move to Amsterdam or Swedan or something.
Meanwhile in Sweden and Amsterdam...
Sweden sucks.So does Amsterdam. When I am 35,I will move to Zimbabwee or Nicaragua or something.
All I know is that I am out of the US.. I am not interested in Eastern-world life. I am a western man. Perhaps where I can get marijuana and plenty of alcohol.

Maybe Nicaragua, but not Zimbabwe.
Oh and I know they are not Eastern, I was talking about the whole "Sweden and Amsterdam suck" thing.

The Devil Inside 05-30-06, 05:43 AM it is a country that is based in intellectualism.
the people here are kind of sneaky (socially) by our standards, but it is easy to get used to. alot more materialism, alot more backbiting, and alot more formality between people.
i would recommend moving to the city im living in currently. unfortunately, i am moving back to the states in july. i am living in Gent right now. its a city about the size of charleston, south carolina.
just about everyone here speaks english, but i still recommend learning some Nederlands (dutch) before coming for a permanent thing.
*shrug* if you have any questions, feel free to pm me!
salutjes!
