Today is national Ask a Stupid Question Day. But do you really agree that "there are no stupid questions"?
I found 20 of the dumbest questions people have Googled, or asked in online forums. I’m sure there’s a ton more. Here’s a couple samples:
1. "If animals could talk, which species would be the rudest of them all?"
2. "What happens if you don't show up to a job interview?"
3. "Are there birds in Canada?"
4. "What would a chair look like if your knees bent the other way?"
5. "Should I tell my parents I'm adopted?" Also, a woman in a chatroom once asked, "How can I be sure I'm the real mom of my kid?"
6. "What happens if you paint your teeth white with nail polish?"
7. "Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?"
8. "Can I eat my Himalayan salt lamp?"
9. "Why does the coronavirus hate us? What have we done to upset it so much?"
10. "If the world is going to end, should I buy, sell, or hold stocks?"
11. "Can I make a PlayStation 5 by linking a PlayStation 2 and a PlayStation 3 together?"
12. "I was bitten by a turtle when I was young. Can I still drink orange juice?" Someone responded to that one and said no, it will reactivate the turtle venom.
13. "Is an egg a fruit or vegetable?"
14. "Are skeletons real or made up?"
15. "Why are the holes in cats' fur always in the right places for their eyes?"
16. "Does looking at a PICTURE of the sun hurt your eyes?"
17. "If I ate myself, would I become twice as big or disappear completely?"
18. "Why isn't a cupcake a mineral?"
19. "Do inflatable dolls count as passengers in the carpool lane?"
20. "Why are there school?" That's how they phrased it . . . "Why are there school?"
