Well the really obvious one is "Are you asleep?", but I suppose that "Are you dead?" is equally as stupid a thing to say.

"Are you O.K.?"

"Are you sure?"
No, not really, that is why I am suggesting that you do it first. ;)

Surely that is a hard question to answer? Do you want the name of the whole forum, this individual forum or do you want us to answer with every single forum?

Am I making questionable decisions to question questioning? Are any of these questions "stupid"? Is stupidity making me question questioning the questionability of my questioning question? Is "questionability" a word? Will CD Light ever shut up?)

did you know that the guy who invented the big mac's name wasent Mac. no, in all truthfulness, it was Dick... but you can see why they called it the Big Mac :)


if an italian in a whop, when why does BK call thier burger the whopper?

exactley how DO you spell "kichi kichi ya ya da da" and what does it mean?

why was 'shoobie doobie' such an important thing for people in the 70's to say?

what is a shoobie anyways? what does it do? how can you shoobie? can you be a shoobier? or a doobier for that matter?

on the diplom.org page, it refers to simon as being Manus's doppelganger...

what is a doppelganger? what does a doppelganger do? can one doppelgang? can one be a doppelgangee? is there a law against doppelganging?

I have heard of boogie woogie, and have a general idea how to boogie, but how does one woogie? has anyone evey suggested to "get down and woogie?" why do we call him the boogie man, why not the woogie man?

Think about it, can an immovable object ever be hit be an unstoppable object?

Can they even exist together?

duke o' york
Apr 02, 2002, 02:39 AM
An immoveable object cannot exist in our experience. Perhaps if there was a centre to the universe then at this dead centre then something would not be acted upon by any force, or acted upon equally by opposing forces then it would be immoveable, but as far as we know, everything is moving under a gravitational pull of something else. :p

Come on...:rolleyes: You surely cannot have an unstoppable object either. It must have some size which means you could apply an opposing force against it. Or you could use a gravitational force if you had a spare planet or something.

philippe
Apr 02, 2002, 02:36 PM
a thing is always in rest unless there is a force in a direction on the thing ans so the thing moves and is there no gravity(outerspace)that thing will ALWAYS move with the same speed in the same direction


this is a law of newton:goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

History_Buff
Apr 02, 2002, 02:48 PM
Yes, but because there are no perfect vacuums in the world as we know it, there would be small bits of dust to alter its course.

And the question was, can you have both an immovable object, and an unstoppable force?

History_Buff

Can they even exist together? O.K., I will have a try at this one: Unstoppable doesn't mean it can't be diverted right? So my guess is that it would bounce off and continue going....in a different direction.

philippe
Apr 03, 2002, 04:14 AM
a unstoppable thing can exist but first there has to be an power who drives it
ans there is no such thing as a innmovbal(sorry for spelling im dutch) thing because when there is a power on it there is
ALWAYS a reaction



anothere law of newton
action and reaction
reaction can never be bigger than action
nothing is immovable

Dell19
Apr 03, 2002, 04:20 AM
You cannot have an unstoppable object because tat implies that there is no way to stop it. So no matter how fast an object is moving an opposite force that is equal could be aplied to bring the "unstoppable" object to rest.

philippe
Apr 03, 2002, 04:24 AM
hey you dont know your math
theoratticly it exists
let say a line named a is going horizontally it is THEORATTICLY unstoppable.laern your math and then say something:goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

duke o' york
Apr 03, 2002, 04:36 AM
Everything is unstoppable because of the forces working upon it on the larger scale. Since everything is constantly in motion, whether this be around the sun or whatever, then everything is unstoppable. Even if you were to apply a force on an object such that it counteracted the force applied upon it by the sun, the it would still be in motion relative to another object and affected by different forces. An object not acted upon by any force whatsoever is only theoretical and would occur in a perfect vacuum. The whole question of unstoppable object and immoveable object is essentially a philosophical one, of the style of the Buddhist one-hand clap, intended to free the mind of all conscience thought for easier meditation.

Lawyer: Did you check for signs of breathing?
Coroner: No.
Lawyer: Did you check for any signs of life what so ever?
Coroner: No.
Lawyer: Than how could you be certain that he was dead?
Coroner: His brain was in a jar on my desk!
Lawyer: Could it not have been possible that he could have still been alive?
Coroner: I guess he could have been out practicing law somewhere!!!

As opposed to a discussion of the possibility of an object being unstoppable or immovable? I was simply sharing a story of a real life case that was sent to me by a friend. It was a part of an e-mail containing things actually said in a court room. Do you not agree that the line of questions from the lawyer are pretty stupid?

Below are questions that people "actually asked" of Park Rangers around the country, proving once again that there is no known limit to the depths of human stupidity.
(Source: Outside Magazine)

Grand Canyon National Park...
Was this man-made?
Do you light it up at night?
I bought tickets for the elevator to the bottom -- where is it?
So where are the faces of the presidents?

Everglades National Park...
Are the alligators real?
Are the baby alligators for sale?
Where are all the rides?
What time does the two o'clock bus leave?

Denali National Park (Alaska)...
What time do you feed the bears?
Can you show me where the yeti lives?
How often do you mow the tundra?
How much does Mount McKinley weigh?

Mesa Verde National Park...
Did people build this, or did Indians?
Why did they build the ruins so close to the road?
What did they worship in the kivas -- their own made-up religion?
Do you know of any undiscovered ruins?
Why did the Indians decide to live in Colorado?

Carlsbad Caverns National Park...
How much of the cave is underground?
So what's in the unexplored part of the cave?
Does it ever rain in here?
How many Ping-Pong balls would it take to fill this up?
So what is this -- just a hole in the ground?

Yosemite National Park...
Where are the cages for the animals?
What time do you turn on Yosemite Falls?
Can I get my picture taken with the carving of President Clinton?

Yellowstone National Park...
Does Old Faithful erupt at night?
How do you turn it on?
When does the guy who turns it on get to sleep?
We had no trouble finding the park entrances, but where are the exits?


:D :D :rotfl: :lol:

In most classes I've been in, the instructor will say something like "there's no such thing as a stupid question". So later on, I'll say "I got a stupid question for ya", and he repeats himself, "There's no such thing as a stupid question". I answer "You haven't heard the question yet", and then proceed to ask a stupid question.
