Feb. 28: It's only right that this provoked such a massive response.

Fill in the blank: The stupidest thing I've ever done is ___________.

Taunting someone to shoot a gun at me while we were both inebriated. Thank god I'm alive.

Flash my panties at some old people while they were eating at dennys.

*Source*: i was an idiot

whats the stupidest thing you ever done

is simply 'stupid', not most regretted. You know the game 'Pool' that you play on a pool table. Well i set up the triangle of balls to break, went to the other side of the table and got a steady aim. While my dad was watching a carefully pulled the que stick back and struck my aim, but nothing happnend, the balls didnt move. I stood there in confusion for afew seconds while my dad laughed his head off. Still confused as to why the break haddnt occured, dad explains to me that i had not had a white ball to hit. Hahaha i was just aiming at nothing and shooting at nothing. Stupid i tells you
(I think we have a winner. Both for the actual act of stupidity and the question "You know the game 'Pool' that you play on a pool table?" Wow.)

The stupidest thing I've ever done is pencil sharpen my pinkie finger. Bad bad memories.

I misread a label and put a microwavable pie in for 30 minutes. Yes, the microwave died and the smoke alarm went off.

my brother tried to cut a rope with a chainsaw--rope got pulled into the saw and jammed it--I saw it coming
(Your 'brother'. Uh huh, sure...)

(Administrative Comment: I received a significant number of additional responses, but they conflicted with the nature of this blog in that they were dead depressing. I couldn't believe some of the stuff that was posted. I read descriptions of drug use, love affairs gone bad, misplaced trust, various illicit acts, and sins that would make a sailor blush with shame. There was even a huge story about how this lady's mother sabotaged her and prevented her from getting married 40 years ago. It was sad. Fortunately for me there were people like the guy who fought his couch...)

Feb. 27: Including Chuck Norris in some capacity is apparently a sure fire way to get a question answered.

Would you rather be killed by Chuck Norris or Jack Bauer?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

jack bauer is the new chuck norris

I want Jack to torture me first and yell "DAMN IT" and Son of a -----!"

chuck norris because the second im touched by him, i die an instantaneous death.

I would rather kill them both.
(Ha, good luck with that. You may last 6 seconds. Unless of course you're Jason Bourne, in which case you would still get owned, but you may put up a better fight.)

Chuck Norris. Bauer would torture me and take pleasure in it. Norris would kill me quickly.

Chuck Norris already looks like a child molester
(I tried for a long time to justify this as a vote for Chuck, but I can in no way construe this to be an answer to the question at hand.)

iff i die i wouldnt care

Jack Bauer

Jack Bauer

Chuck Norris, he'd make it quick. Not to mention he's a real person. Kind of hard to get killed by a fictional character.
(Unless it's Jack Bauer. God help us if he was real. God help us all...)

Both are poncey woofters
(For those of us who aren't British: A man is 'poncey' if he is a bit feminine but not quite gay. A 'woofter' is a gay man. So apparently this person is making the claim that they are both quasi-gay homosexuals.
Stupid British...)

Chuck Norris I heard he has his signature on the bottom of his boot so when I get roundhouse kicked in the face, at least I got his autograph.
*Source*: You've been... THUNDERSTRUCK!

i think i'll just kill myself if i see this question again....
(You have no idea how strong the temptation was to immediately post this again.)

im superman, only chuck noris round house kicks can kill me, other guy cant.

Chuck Norris

jack bauer because it would be less painful than by the hands of Chuck
(Not so sure about that one...)

chuck norris.....at least i just have to go through one and only one R.H.K.

Chuck Norris of course. a quick roundhouse kick to the face and boom dead. thats quite a way to go.
(OK, I realize it is a powerful asset when in the hands of Chuck Norris, but I think we're beginning to give the roundhouse kick a little too much credit.)

Chuck of course.

Final Talley:

Chuck Norris: 8
People Who Sucked At Life and Didn't Answer the Question: 7
Jack Bauer: 4
Clint Eastwood: 1

Feb. 26: Remember, though, if you kill the man you'll have to break up the band.

You have been invited to a mysterious tournament of skill in Singapore. You have mad skills, so you go. The challenge begins with maze spanning roughly 30 square miles. Your goal is to make it to the center, where you will be entered into the tournament: head to head competition to the death. With the help of a leprechaun named Alfredo you overcome many obstacles and make it to the center of the maze. You are immediately entered into the tournament. You vanquish all of your foes alongside Alfredo, an abominable snowman, and a large rat. The final round has arrived, and you now face the tournament master, who happens to be David Bowie. David Bowie tried to kill you once, but instead killed your twin brother, a famous concert pianist. You want revenge and decide to face him alone because "that's how it's done". Bowie is armed with a song. And you know its a good one because, come on, he's frickin' David Bowie. You must defeat him with a song of your own. What song do you choose to eliminate the Thin White Duke?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Fly on the wall by Miley Cyrus

második galamb by venetian snares! not even earthling's drum and bass influences can defeat the awesome power of BREAKCORE mister bowie
(*confusion*)

I would choose "I Want You" by Elvis Costello. Bowie's been schooled!

Ziggy Stardust man enough said..
(Choosing a David Bowie song to vanquish David Bowie... interesting choice.)

Anything by Slim Whitman... no one can withstand the terrible power of his catlike yowlings... Not even the diabolical David Bowie. See for yourself:

(That link's definitely worth a listen. I'm adding it to my library as I type this.)

I cast Cold Blooded by Foreigner. Bowie is unaffected. Bowie casts Lets Dance. Critical hit! I cast Walk the Line by Johnny Cash. Bowie is silent. I beat bowie to death with guitar solo.
(I'm surprised the first one didn't do it. A combination of Foreigner's 'Hot Blooded' and 'Cold as Ice', which I am sure is how he meant it, would be intense.)

Any Guy/ Melanie Safkaget

OUT of the 80"s i bet you have a mullet! 10$ says you do

Come on- a battle to the death by singing? Can you just put him to sleep with "CLimb every mountain" and that ear splitting whitney song " I- i-i will always love you-uo uo uo-+ten more syllables of uo-.

The Saved By the Bell theme song

dude anything that is not pop, rap, or country can beat Bowie. I would even give techno a chance.
but for the record; "Fear Of The Dark" - Iron Maiden

Metal Guru

How about one of those high-note Mariah Carey ones and bust his eardrums out? :p

You can't defeat Bowie... >.> Duuh...

(Administrative Comment: I had to ask several forms of this question. The one up there didn't get the best response, but I figured it would be appreciated more than the simplified one I posted. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of using the heading 'Can you defeat David Bowie?' on that dumbed down version. This gave people the opportunity to answer that question instead of struggling through the four lines of text that would produce an appropriate answer. A lot of people took this route. Here are their responses:)

yes you can that guy is a moron

Im gonna sex David Bowie instead.
(I wasn't going to include this one, but I decided it embodies the essence of 'Stupid Question of the Day' so well that it couldn't be left out. Screen name on this response: 'Rugged Rod')

Im gonna sex David Bowie instead.
(Not a mistake.)

yes cuz i is a ninja :p

He may be spindly and weird but I bet he can scrap, so no he would probably thrash me in a fight.

I liked him in Labyrinth. Mmmm loved those tight crotch pants.

He is like 99 years old so yeah I can defeat Bowie by just pushing him once.

Feb. 25: I'm beginning to recognize the screen names of the people answering my questions....

...so I'm taking the day off. Be back tomorrow.

I know you're disappointed. But you can deal with it.

You did get three questions yesterday. You're just being selfish now.

Oh, come on now, don't cry, it's just one day without a question...

Yeah, I'm really bored too, but coming up with these questions can be hard. I won't always be here to entertain you, you know. One day I'm either going to give it up or become so wealthy from the advertising revenue that I'll just pass it off to someone else. Who knows what will happen to the questions then?

Tomorrow. New question. I promise.

Feb. 24: Rejected Question Day!

In the course of creating and seeking answers to these challenging questions, you occasionally get one that just doesn't work. For whatever reason, responses to some questions are either lacking in quantity or just have a bunch of lame answers. Maybe the question was too long or not interesting enough or maybe people just aren't as creative as I give them credit for. Whatever the reason, the poor showing on these questions means you get three new questions today. That's right, three! You're so lucky... Enjoy this month's rejected questions!

***************************************************************************************

Question #1 (I got a little carried away with this one.)

You're walking down the street one day when from a nearby third story window you hear a rather large amount of cursing followed quickly by the slamming of a window. You look up just in time to have a large, heavy manila envelope smack you right in the face. After you recover consciousness, you decide not to pursue the matter further (you fear confrontation). You do, however, open the manila envelope to see what could be in it to make it heavy enough to knock you out. It's apparently a novel. It details the story of Jimmy Callahan, a rogue inspector for the Food and Drug Administration. Jimmy is hot on the trail of Viktor Borsch, a Russian mobster who, it had been discovered, has begun circulating some bad cantalopes in the New York City market. Most of the plot consists of Jimmy taking out many of Borsch's much less important cronies, which gets pretty boring after a while. However, after 7 hours of reading, you finally get to the part you've been waiting for. Jimmy arrives at the abondoned K-Mart that is Borsch's hideout. This will be the final showdown. He walks in, finding Borsch waiting for him, surrounded by 15 henchmen armed with bad cantalopes and toxic peanut butter. Unfortunately, the story stops there. Clearly the person who hit you with the novel was a frustrated writer, angry at what they viewed as a pathetic attempt to create a book. But you like it, so you decide to finish it for them, publish it, make millions of dollars, and retire to Costa Rica. All you have to do is conclude it. It should be noted that in chapter 32 Jimmy stated that he doesn't believe in the use of firearms. So, Mr./Ms. author, how does the story end?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

You're going to be mauled by a vicious army of lobsters!
*Source*: I didn't read the incredibly long paragraph, sorry

Your dog runs you over with the car you got him for his birthday.

Victoria Principal walks into the shower and finds Jimmy there.
"Good morning!" Jimmy says, smiling his best Dallas smile, because that's where he's from.
"Oh, Jimmy!" Victoria says. "I just had the craziest dream! You were about to be wasted by a bunch of Russian thugs in an abandoned K-Mart!"
"Really?" Jimmy replies. "Well obviously, it was just a dream, because here I am, and I'm alive and well."
"Yes, you are," she says. "But it all seemed so...so real."
The End

its too much to read

*************************************************************************************

Question #2 (A riddle.)

If the South African wallabe moves at a speed of 16.7 kilometers per hour and the square root of yellow is the west coast of Finland, what does a chupacabra do for fun on a Thursday night?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

easy, he goes on yahoo answers and answers questins about his brethrin

Smoke a bunch of pot then satisfy his munchies with some nice fresh goat.
*Source*: He's my dealer :p

goes to china to play real checkers ....

*************************************************************************************

Question #3 (It's really a shame this didn't get a better response...)

You're on a hike in the mountains of Peru when you get lost. You wander for 3 days only to find yourself deeper in the hills and even more lost than you were before. At the end of the 3rd day you find yourself a cave in which to spend the night. Due to water deprivation, you have been hallucinating rather vividly. So far you've seen a large bottle of Aquifina, a talking pineapple, and Barack Obama dancing with a giant chicken. While you're in the cave you see the most bizarre and terrifying creature you've ever laid eyes on. Assuming it's a hallucination, you are somewhat amused at what your brain can produce. But it's not a hallucination, it's the rare and evil Peruvian Cat Monkey, about to devour you. What does it look like?

jerry springer on steriods : )

mankey

i read this story to my girlfriend over the phone and we both started laughing!

Feb. 23: I tell you what, Stan, if Lenny hadn't been there, well, I wouldn't be talking to you today...

You're on the subway when you step on the wrong guy's foot. He begins shouting obscenities and glaring at you, so you figure you're about to take a shot to the face. However, in an unexpected turn of events, he challenges you to a subway duel, complete with weapons. Not wanting to seem like a coward in front of the other passengers, you accept. Unfortunately, you overlooked the fact that he is in possession of the only real weapon, a rather intimidating knife. Weapons at your disposal include the following: an old lady's purse containing nothing but 6 pounds of Jolly Ranchers, a tube sock, and, for some reason, a small iguana named Lenny. How do you survive and win the duel?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Take the jolly Ranchers (whatever they are ) put them in the tube sock and bash him over the head.
(I'm sorry, but who doesn't know what a Jolly Rancher is?)

Throw a bunch of unopened mega sized ENERGY DRINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feed the iguana the Jolly Ranchers and squeeze its stomach using it as a sort of Jolly Rancher machine gun and then while he is being barraged by the endless wave of candy I use the purse and tubesock to form a zipline from the bar above that people hang onto and slide into the guy with my leg out in prime position to hit him in the nads and disarm him.
*Source*: I did it the other day

distract him with Lenny the iguana while filling the tube sock with jolly ranchers and hit him in the head BAM! and ur a bad ***

by calling 911.........

throw Lenny at your enemy. While hes distracted fill you tube sock with as many jolly ranchers as you can. Attack him with the tube sock like its a flail. Go for the head to knock him out. Congratulations! YOU WIN!!!!1 strip him of all his valuables. in a few weeks, the salmonella from lenny the iguana kills you foe.

By not giving a crap what the other passengers think and not accepting the duel. Otherwise I would definitely use the purse to block the knife and then knock the guy out with it. But then I'd buy the lady a new purse.

Plan A - Dodge the Knife then knock him out with the 6 lbs of jolly ranchers
Plan B - Throw the old lady at him...lol...

i get my kid to kick his ***
(Have you no honor, sir?)

I go buy a five dollar footlong and we split it.

Yell RAPE. Hahhhaah, kidding.

step on the right guys foot

Run,......FAST.....!!

i... fill the sock with the candies and hit him with it? and i woldn't hurt the poor iguana :) or maybe he's so frightened of them i place the iguana on his shoulder... and he faints!! I WIN! :D

id use the purse handles to wrap around his arm and neck and fight him using distance. Surprisingly ive hit someone with a purse before cause I pulled it off this random girl and just started swinging i wasntnt thinking straight haha.
(This was a dude.)

interest him in a jolly rancher before the duel begins, while he's distracted put them all in the sock and use it as a mace. when he's done with putting the rancher in his mouth, throw Lenny on him and pray to God he's afraid of those things. Start bashing him with the 6 pound sock.

I yell rape and then while he's looking away, fill the sock with jolly ranchers and bash him in the face! Then, I'll sick the iguana on him, and make a run for it!

oh the purse for sure... throw the jolly ranchers at the attackers eyes... then set the iguana on the floor to maybe scare him off? then confuse him with the tube sock throw and then finish with whacking him across the face with the purse. XD

throw a jolly rancher at his temple

tell him youll trade all that stuff for the knife if hes weird enough to start a duel and yell stupid obscenities..then im sure hell like the lizard and the 6 lbs of jolly rachers..i dunno about the tube sock tho..haha

attack him before you pick your weapon go for the legs

ah hehe ...sorry
*Source*: *apologetic*
(..................wha?........I don't.............*head explodes*)

No problem. I never go anywhere without my axe.

Scream "OH MY GOD WHAT THE ---- IS THAT?!" and point behind him. Then while everyone everyone was looking the other way I'd steal the Jolly Ranchers and make a run for it. Then when he inevitably catches up with me, I'll offer him some jolly ranchers on the condition that he forgives me.

It was easy really. I fed Lenny some of the Jolly Ranchers, he had a strange reaction that you would probably see in some kind of superhero movie and went all radioactive and superstrengthy... He was just about to jump up and beat the guy who challenged me up (because iguanas love me.. naturally) But then the old grandma lady leaped up (she'd be sleeping) because she discovered her super magical Jolly Ranchers had been stolen. Obviously, she was a black belt (anyone who owns magical fruit flavored hard candies is a master in martial arts) and started knocking everyone out with this sick pressure point thingy so that no one could realize that she was a secret agent and then she realized that the guy who challenged me had been the evil guy she was looking for and he had just planted a bomb with his cohort under a bench. The duel was just a distraction... duh. And she went all kung-fu on them. After they were passed she turned them in to the FBI or wherever. Then she took me and Lenny out to Baskin Robins.
ta da

(Administrative Comment: The most popular answer by far was putting the Jolly Ranchers in the sock and beating the guy with it. But I have to ask... the guy's about to come after you with a knife...

Why are you taking the time to put hundreds of Jolly Ranchers into a sock when they came conveniently in a much larger purse?

Seems like a foolish waste of time to me...)

sorry, I don't know what I was thinking

seriously, wtf are you talkin about

Feb. 21: Personally, I would go with something inconspicuous. But, hey, what do I know?

You’ve just finished testifying against a mafia boss for his role in a huge counterfeit peso scheme. You are the prosecution’s key witness and your testimony is so blatant and persuasive that the mob boss gets the chair. Due to the fact that a significant portion of his mob is still at large you are put into the witness protection program. The feds inform you that, because of an irreversible computer error, you will be living on the outskirts of Cleveland. You are less than thrilled about this, so as a consolation they let you pick your new name and tell you that it can be any name you choose. No limitations. What’s your new name?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Man, how I could I be so irresponsible? Well, I like my original name, but under the circumstances I choose Jack Killblood.

Egg Benedict (seriously)

Hmm ... Coney Conifer

Alyssa Cunningham Haha cool question :)

A Pimp Named Slickback

E-Fizzle Cornholio.

This wouldn't happen to me since I would never be dumb enough to testify against the mafia, especially the boss. Sorry, I don't recall. I just can't remember where I was that day your honor.
OK, lets say I do testify and this scenario plays out, I would call myself Vincent Barriano or The Guy To Soon Be At The Bottom Of Lake Erie Because I Ratted Out The Mob. It's a long name but it fits.

(Administrative Comment: The seventh answer got me thinking, and I'm trying to decide how meeting new people would go down if you didn't have a name...

Scenario 1:
Johnson: Hello there, my name's Johnson.
You: That's nice.
*Johnson walks away, frustrated with your apparent lack of manners and social skills*

Scenario 2:
Johnson: Hello there, my name's Johnson.
You: Nice to meet you. I don't have a name.
Johnson: Uh huh...
*Johnson still walks away, but this time he does so backwards while giving you the same look he would have given you if you'd just claimed to be a talking cactus*

Either way, you're not making any new friends.)

Feb. 20: I really did not anticipate this question being taken so seriously.

After four long years of work, many miles of cross country campaigning, and millions of dollars in bribes, you’ve been elected President of the United States. Congratulations. One day you’re sitting in the oval office laughing at the huge mistake made by the 3% of the population who bothered to vote, when you declare it time for an executive order. You’ve decided that 50 states is just too many. You want to get rid of 2 of them. You’re kind of partial to Alaska and Hawai’i, so those stay. All the others are fair game. Unfortunately, you have to justify yourself to those jerks in Congress. So, what states are getting the ax and why?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

I'd make a horrible president leave it to Obama

I'd put Futurama back on air

i dont even wanna think bout that αмєяι¢αи ∂α∂ я υѕ™ ツ
(Well, I'm sorry I disturbed you...)

I would axe the states with the most racists. So two deep red(right wing Republican) states in the south somewhere

california, get rid of the idiots. and texas, if the dont want to be here then neither do i.
('if they dont want to be here neither do i...' So, he would get rid of it and come with us?)

Man I would like to keep all 50, but probably Wyoming and Montana.
What the ---- happens in those two places? or what in sam's heck goes on in Delaware nowadays?

California and New York. Because they have not been part of the US for years.
(i apparently need a new map)

Utah-Full of Mormons.

dam, its a little late for my brain to work, but i say NM and NH, i got good justification for it but I just cant be bothered right now. But here is a hint, they are both border states, ok, there cant be a country with a country people...I would not have a problem to make donation to Canada, maybe make NM exclusively Indian territory, free from any US law.
(i'm voting for this guy...)

Arizona and New Mexico,,, give them back to mexico.

Obcourse the poorest states will get the ax.
(Obcouse...)

I'd amalgamate North and South Dakota, and North and South Carolina. That way you're getting rid of two states, but still keeping all the citizens and infrastructure. But no matter what you (hypothetically) do, you'll never keep everyone happy. *Not a bad answer from a Canadian, I'd say.

if i was the president of the united states of αмєяι¢α and i had to get rid of two states...i would get rid of nebraska because who the ---- gives a ---- about nebraska, and i could care less about north dakota.

1. California- Half that state hates America anyway and they always wish they did't live here and call it the "worst country in the world" and ---- like that. So let them be thier own country and see how they do. Any loyal Americans could move back into the country.
2. North Dakota- Tiny population and i couldnt think of anything good hahah

Why get rid of them... why not just take over the census and have political control of all the states? Oh, it's already in the process of being done!
(We'll all be sorry when the Census Bureau is running our lives)

why would i want to get rid of two states? i think this question is kinda pointless....

Since the federal union is made up of the "several states" the federal government can not get rid of states at whim. Read the Constitution before posting hypotheticals.
(Perhaps I need to check the definition of 'hypothetical' again, but...)

i wouldnt want to be president

I would merge the Dakotas into one state, and the Virginias into another - 48 states.

The two smallest states with small populations, no one would miss them ! Makes sense to me.

hmm... i like cheese so i think ill keep wisconsin i also like oranges so ill keep florida.. i think delaware because it seems like its nowhere and ill get rid of road island because its so small..

california.....and make arnold schwartzenegger vice president
texas....give it to mexico.....they are loud and obnoxious anyways : )

(In summary, I would like to point out that I am a loud and obnoxious racist that no longer wants to be part of this country.)

Feb. 19: Again? Ah, I hate when this happens!

After you helped him get out of a tight spot with the IRS, your friend Guillermo cooks you dinner to thank you. It’s a decent meal, but (and this is just your luck) he undercooked the chicken and you die of salmonella poisoning. Naturally, you are displeased with this fact and decide to come back as a poltergeist to haunt Guillermo for his fatal culinary error. As a poltergeist, you are invisible and have the ability to move objects. Due to IPL (International Poltergeist Law), you can’t kill him. How do you exact your revenge on Guillermo?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

How long did it take you to think all of that?

Lol, I'd eat him. or somehow haunt someone else into killing him.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

TP it!

Wow, you really thought this one out!!! Seran wrap the door.

give him repeated cases of crabs

by saying MWAHAHAHHAAHHA xD

You know when you get one of those rolls of T.P. that just shred when you try and peel a sheet? For the rest of his days.

sorry, im a catholic, when i die i stay there until jesus comes to get me.

I take Guillermo to the forests of New Hampshire and kick him then poop on his face.

Hire an assassin.

Id give him an invisible kick in the nuts!
(This one was an edit. It only took her two tries to come up with that one. Her first one was 'Beat the ---- out of him... everyday lol')

I would say it was a accident and couldn't you tell the meat was pink? I would haunt people like Oprah Winfrey that have no talent and are making hundreds of millions off the zombie public.

i would take his chicken out of the refrigerator for hours at a time. when he finally eats it, he will die of salmonella. technically i have followed the ipl laws because the chicken actually kills him.

While he is in the bathroom, I'd start knockinng on the door. ' soft tapping at first eventually crescendoing into hideous pounding. screaming at the top of my ghostly lungss. that and swipe his toothbrush in the most unthinkably gross places. :} vengance is sweet

I would steal money from the bank and put it under his mattress. He'll be so filthy rich, He'll die unhappiness due to an unfufilling life.. Take that!

Hold him high in the air, next to the pretty clouds, drop him, then pick him up again before he hits the ground. And aaah, I myself can't kill poor little Guillermo, but I can have a living person do it. I could write messages to someone who had just lost a loved one (loved one was murdered, murderer is not caught) and lead them to Guillermo, all the while feeding fuel to the firey hate within them. I would go around the world and pick a big tough man, who would do anything for revenge for departed his loved one. Sooooo eassy.

Well..... Cut off his tounge. Find a way to stop the bleeding. Trick him into thinking he is crazy and has voice's talking to him. Make him yell at the voice's in public and get him to look crazy. Move stuff and get him fired from all of his jobs. Destroy his car, TV, Bed, Kitchen, Ect all of the night's he is sleeping wake him up and hover a knife over his head. Find out and expose all his secret's over the internet. Relize my last plan won't work because we Destroyed his computer. Make it seem like he is bothering woman Sexually. That's all i could think of! ^_^

Crack a ceiling lighbulb in his kitchen to expose the wires. Wait till he goes to bed, close the windows and doors onto the kitchen and turn on all the gas outlets. Gas is heavier than air, so it will take some time to fill up the room. When he turns on the light in the morning, happy landings, Guillermo! If you really have time, you could seal all the doors and windows w. tradesman's adhesive and put a candle on a high shelf in the kitchen. Even if he smells gas eventually, he'll be struggling to get out too much to notice that candle and the place'll go up like a bomb.

i wouldn't get revenge it was an accident

Feb. 18: The same thing we do every night, Pinky...

You are an evil semi-genius bent on world domination. After years of planning and inventing and several trips in and out of the insane asylum, you have finally completed the object that lies at the center of your master plan. It’s a device that you’ve designed to give you the ability to control the entire animal population. You fire it up to test it for the first time. You are incredibly excited, but to your dismay you find that due to a small miscalculation your device only works on hamsters. You are, after all, only a semi-genius. Reworking the thing would take years and you’re losing patience, so you decide to proceed as is. How do you take over the world with an army of hamsters?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

teach them the ways of weaponry and make them into soldiers..

Equip them with machine guns and grenades. And maybe bombs, if they know how to operate them.

aww how cute!

Sounds like the plot of a stupid captain underpants book.

Haha! Get every single Hamster in the world and breed them..... make them wild and make sure they have rabies! Place them in different parts of the world... and control them to attack humans! WAHAHAAH! You very funny person! Lol

I would use them to recapture Hamsterdam and claim it as the new world capital.

Hmmmm... Hamsters are only fatter versions of rats, right? (no offence intened to hamster owners) I would probably, under the cover of night, unleashed my rodent army upon the town, making them chew through and cut all electricity wires and cables and laugh as the town becomes eco-friendly against their will >=]

Did you forget that the hamsters were turned into giants? They are headed for your town as we speak. Get out now before you are crushed.

Take over a nut factory

I would let them loose in grocery stores and demand large amounts of money and power.

Make them all run on wheels and harness the energy. I'll have all the power I need to take over the world.

Too late!! A hamster has already taken over the world - the Yamster! (you know...? That Yahoo!Answers mascot thingy?)
(No, I have no idea what he's talking about and Source: "Super Midget IX")

u need a new hobby..

Well see i got a disorder its called UISAM Unnescary.Idiotic.Screaming.At.Mice

Quick, hit the mall and take over all the makeup counters. When the girls come to get their makeup done, ATTACK!

Inject each hamster with poision and make everyone eat them except for one female human so you could repopulate after you are in charge of the world!

I'm up too trying new things

1.) Have them breed. You need a large army.
2.) When you have many, many more hamsters than you will ever need, order them to simultaneously attack the headquarters of every government. You will need trillions upon trillions of hamsters.
3.) Somehow make it known that if anyone crosses you, they will be chewed alive by hamsters.
4.) Make sure no one ever gets control of your device. Ever. Or the world will be covered in hamster crap forever.

xD that was a waste of my life. but to answer that question completely.... i would.... get my shots taken so I won`t get rabies or something stupid like that =)
(Source: "My... iiimmmaaggginnnaaattioonnnnn...")

open a pet store and sell them each for a buck fifty....after that i don't know but at least i'd be rich!

brainwash citizens to keep a hamster each. citizens will feed and take care of hamster. hamster will then grow 3x the size of human and eat them up eventually. whats left will be hamsters under your power. you can ride them, eat them, cuddle and sleep with them for warmth, play with them.

train them to operate bombs and have them blow up capitals of the world...

Feb. 17: These people would never survive in the big city...

New York City. Early evening. You are on vacation here from Saskatchewan and it's been a darn good time, don't you know... Anyway, you're walking down the sidewalk whistling the tune to "O Canada" when you get mugged. A dubious ruffian wielding a blackjack has pulled you into an alley and backed you into a corner. When he finds that your Rolex is fake (you bought it on a street corner 5 minutes ago, 3 blocks back) and your wallet is empty (you spent all your cash on the Rolex), he is angered and decides to beat you senseless. You are just off a crowded New York street so, of course, no one helps you. You conclude that your only manner of escape is the old cartoon gag: yell something random to distract him and flee in his confusion. The first blow is coming down any second. What do you yell?

"Don't you remember when your mother told you that it was wrong to steal and hurt people? Well, she wouldn't be happy if you are to inflict pain on me" Psych him out a little.

People like to see a good fire, so it is best to yell fire if you are being attacked. You will get lots of attention, and someone will come running with a fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher has two good uses. You can hit the mugger over the head, or spray it with the material, blinding them for a good length of time. If you are a ventriloquist, you can always yell Freeze, put your hands up! I hope I never need to find out.

I don't see any question.

I would suggest setting it to Wumbo next time

White snow

Well the answer is quite simple in itself. Since the question presents no logical question other than to answer its contents the answer is obviously what i have written in its entirety.

Okay, first the tiger's name was Pizza. Get it right. Next, he did not eat the pizza, he ate the nachoes instead. And lastly, he was actually an undercover spy from mars. Or was he??? "D Lol...

never take a pill you find on the ground, always take a right at the fork, just because the milk in your fridge is curdled it is not cottage cheese, and always always keep your oreos in the fridge it makes for better and longer dunking

Well, originally, I thought the answer was 34,547.2, but after I re-worked the math, I discovered that the answer is actually entropy.

Fish definetely talk behind my back

www.postsecret.com you wil find acceptance by all there.

Well... That's a very creative question, so it's quite difficult for me to come up with an answer.

The defining feature of a black hole is the event horizon, a surface in spacetime that marks a point of no return. Once an object crosses this surface, it cannot return to the other side. Consequently, anything inside this surface is completely hidden from outside observers. Other than this, the event horizon is a completely normal part of space with no special features that would allow someone falling into the black hole to know when they would cross the horizon. The event horizon is not a solid surface, and does not obstruct or slow down matter or radiation that is traveling towards the region within the event horizon. Outside the event horizon, the gravitational field is identical to the field produced by any other spherically symmetric object of the same mass. The popular conception of black holes as "sucking" things in is misleading: objects can orbit black holes indefinitely, provided they stay outside the photon sphere, and also ignoring the effects of gravitational radiation which causes orbiting objects to lose energy (similar to the effect of electromagnetic radiation).

there was no question where did all these answers come from ahh lol

Feb: 15: Help...the zebra...it...oh no...

You return home from a very bad day at the office to find out that Dave, your neighbor, now has a pet zebra named Cuddles. Already ticked, this sends you over the edge. It's only after you have rained down insults upon Dave and his zebra that you find out that Cuddles is actually a guard-zebra, trained to kill. A couple of nervous weeks pass and you are driving home in the dark when you hit something large in the road. Trashes your car. Windshield shattered, front end smashed, the works. You peak over the crumpled hood to confirm your worst fear: it's Cuddles. You're about to get out of the car when you realize that the impact may not have killed it. And if it didn't, Cuddles is one pissed off guard-zebra. You don't know what to do. You may or may not have killed your neighbor's very expensive guard-zebra. The zebra no doubt is seeking revenge on you. And Dave loved that zebra. It was the only friend he ever had. You could just drive away, but Dave will see your damaged car. What's your course of action?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Gag the zebra and throw him in the back of your trunk, drive your car off a cliff into a VERY deep lake, borrow a friend's car until you can purchase one of your own, and then console Dave and make sure to hide the duct tape!!! :)

simple... kill it with a bat or something relatively quiet, drag it into someone else' yard and park your car in a tree down the road.... like you hit the tree or something.... may want to clean it first....... and add the needed leaves and branches to your car. Then your neighbor will think that you swerved to miss the zebra and thank you, while at the same time thinking that someone else hit it.....

shoot it.

knock it on the head and skin it out, first. then drop it off for processing. worth about 100 pounds I'd bet. a tidy profit for 10 minutes work. well written. congrats. you are good.

you need the guard duck, he's probably looking for a gig, as his girlfriend abandoned him in paris.

Stay in the car and call the cops...clearly Dave was not following the Leash-Zebra law and his Zebra should have been either restrained to his property or leashed when off property. If the zebra is still alive...or even worse, rabid...the cops can put it down. Also, Dave could be liable for the damage to your car since it was his guard zebra running lose in the road.

i'll smash cuddles with my car. thanks for an easy 2 points.

I would go knock on Dave's door and tell him that you hit his zebra. But, you should also tell him that his zebra should not have been in the middle of the road. Even if he was a guard zebra, he should've been on Dave's front lawn or on his driveway. And since this story is made up, I would let the zebra live =]

You paint white horse with black stripes and park it in Dave's garage as Cuddles. I normally would not do this, but....this story broke my heart. In a meantime, you nurse real Cuddles back to health and then face your friend Dave when everything is fine and ready to go.

kill dave too EDIT: Or, hit dave with daves car then park daves car in front of the zebra and put dave in the drivers seat. then go to Ihop and get some strawberry banana pancakes. YUM!

I get out my cell phone and call animal control. After all there is a wild animal loose and it just ran into my car and started attacking it. Tell them to be careful because Zebra's don't usually attack cars it may be infected with mad cow disease or hoof and mouth disease,and you are afraid it will hurt you. After they come take it away and destroy it.Buy Dave a teddy bear so he has a new friend.

Call Dave acting paniced and grief stricken and tell him that Cuddles ran out into the middle of the road while chasing an unknown man and you accidentally hit him.

throw the car in reverse run over the zebra again maybe try urinating on it bring the car to a shop leave it there take a taxi home tell dave the car was stolen. get the car fixed tell dave the cops found it. exact same thing happend to me but it was a gaurd walrus

I'd make sure its dead

Feb. 14: Wow, I've never won anything before...

You are sitting in your room scanning through your copy of National Geographic when you encounter an ad for a contest that Merriam-Webster is having. The winner gets to create the meaning for a new word they are about to introduce in their latest dictionary. You tear the page out and throw it into your trash can (you are more of a numbers person, don't much care for the words). Because you are incredibly lazy you don't ever empty that trash can, opting instead to make your mother empty it for you. You're about to pay for that. She empties the can, finds the page, and enters your name into the contest, claiming it will be "fun and educational". Slightly disgruntled, you shake it off. You won't win anyway. Well, guess what...you did. You think about rejecting the offer but you would hate to disappoint mom. So you take a trip and meet with the Merriam-Webster people, and learn that the word you will be assigning a meaning to is "sperritrop". So, what does it mean?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feb 13: What animal would be most effective?

You decide to host a party at your house. You're pretty excited about it. There's going to be cake and guacamole and mario kart. Unfortunately for you Carol brings Steve. You hate Steve. You've hated him ever since he took that last bowl of chocolate pudding in the cafeteria that day. You loath Steve. About halfway through the party everyone has had a very large amount of Tang and simultaneously need to pee. You have one bathroom, so, of course, people start calling dibs on the bathroom. You call dibs right before Steve. You hate Steve. You decide that your hatred for Steve far exceeds the care you have for your own plumbing. You decide to clog the toilet before Steve gets in there. Due to the fact that someone spiked your Tang, you believe that the only way you can accomplish this is by shoving an animal down the toilet. Which animal do you choose?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Elephant

A baby Alligator. That should restore some order...

This is reallyy random. I'd choose a skunk :p

Chuck Noris

Badger. About the right size, and Steve would have quite a fight on his hands if he managed to free the critter.

lol! The neighbours cat will do nicely...

why would i clog my own toilet? if i was at steves house i would use his precious iguana.

One of those hairless cats, they're so ugly

Steve

Whale.

Uhh, are you serious? None. I hate people that even think about doing stupid sh*t like this. And why would there be animals in the bathroom anyways? Do you live in a zoo?

lol like hell I'm going to let Steve use my bathroom. He is a boy... he can pee outside. Carol is a dingbat for bringing Steve. I don't need an animal to plug the toilet... I'd stick her in it.

Hahaha. You hate Steve because he took chocolate pudding from you? How about an agitated snake! Then he's get his butt bitten and he won't be able to sit down for a very long time. Heck, if you're lucky, he might even die.

A huge Rat Cheers

ya chuck norris its...just..dont ask chuck norris is the answser to every thing ok!

im sorry but this isnt that funny.....and cat.....cat...steve....

animal abuse? a bunch of snakes tied in knots... I hate you Steve! SUFFER...

Flying Squirrel. Imagine that... That story was very vivid, might I add.

WHat!? hahaha, did this happen to you? lol, your crazy! um....a skunk or a porcupine, cuz steve, oh, i hat steve, will have an awfully hard time getting it out!

Feb 12: A nasal spray/spontaneous combustion question?

It's allergy season and you're pretty congested so you go buy some nose spray. You're also pretty cheap, so you get a mystery brand you have never heard of. On the label, there is a warning that reads "Warning: May cause spontaneous combustion". Like a fool you take the spray anyway. It clears your nasal passages, and you enjoy this fact for five minutes, after which you blow up. If the nose spray caused the explosion, was it really "spontaneous" combustion?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo answers:

No, it would be regular combustion as the nasal spray was the fuel.

yes coz it was self ignited, the nose spray didnt ignite the blaze, it just contributed to the reaction so its still spontaneous combustion

Nope, because there is a known external cause. But hey, at least you get five minutes of heavenly breathing....Probably a good time to switch brands.

Yes, it is still spontaneous...

Feb 11: Which would you choose? (an ax murderer/cheesecake question)?

An ax murderer breaks into your house. This particular ax murderer happens to possess and is carrying with him a rather large amount of cheesecake. He corners you and gives you an option: you can either eat a dessert-sized portion of cheesecake with some fruit topping/drizzle (i.e. cherry, blueberry, it would really depend on what the ax murder had on him) and, when finished, suffer a moderately painful and slow death OR you can eat yourself to death with plain cheesecake. Like, you die from eating cheesecake. You must choose one of the two options. You are in a room with no windows and no phone, and you live alone. What are you going with?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahoo! Answers:

Death by cheesecake.
Totally.

Cheesecake with topping at least I would die fast well, as long as he is good with the axe and yummy cheesecake in my tummy!

This is a very simply question. I would of course choose to "eat myself to death" and use the time to plan my escape, grow closer to my attacker, and try to reason him out of this nonsense. Also, everytime I ate too much cheese cake my body would become sick and I would have no choice but to throw it up, meaning I would have to start all over with my "death meal." This could take DAYS! WEEKS! by which time someone would have noticed I was missing and would come looking for me.

I would eat the one piece of cheese cake and then die slowly. (On a Diet) :)

What sort of twisted mind with nothing to do comes up with a question like that? The other perplexing question is why one would want to know something like that in the first place unless it came by way of first hand experience. Ok, so let on, did this happen to you, are you jerking our chain or are you, in fact, Stephen King?

i love cheesecake i dont think i can die from it but hey its an interesting story yeah i died from cheesecake
