I have to give credit to the regular posters and moderators who try to take every question seriously... If It were me I might be tempted to just make jokes.
I've seen questions about "how to train grippy feet like TARZAN" and "how much am I squatting If I only use my bodyweight"....
You have to remember that these questions are like asking if one can get pregnant from a toilet seat....
If the response to these questions is ridicule, then other people may think twice before asking a question, and continue to remain ignorant.

anyway..I was just wondering if anyone has any silly inquiries from the past that they'd like to share...so perhaps other people won't think that thier question is to silly to ask.

Just my opinion, but I think that's actually why you see quite a few posts that never get answered. :) It's tempting to be sarcastic but .... :)

I have to agree with chiasd...To those of us who know may find the questions to be silly...but some people truly don't know so they ask....That is why this site is here....to help answer questions whether it is something many take for granted or not :)

I work in the veterinary field and there are many things I takr for granted about the animal world and medicine and when clients ask me some rediculous questions I realize if they knew the answer they wouldn't have asked...it makes my job more fulfilling by educating those who are in the dark.
