Why make up a silly answer when you can learn a bit of knowledge? :know:

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Sailor Steve 06-11-13 11:14 AM

He wouldn't. He would read the thread and know that question's been asked three times now, the last time on the page just before this one.

Am I the only person who reads the thread?

mookiemookie 06-11-13 01:00 PM

I'm sure some people have read all 1,260 posts in this thread. I'm sure some other people know what one of Steve's pet peevs is and asked the qustion that he asked for no other reson than to wind Steve up.

I have no idea who that would be though. :shifty: :hmm2:

Wouldn't be any songs for me, don't use ipods.
I'll make do with banging together some coconut shells instead.

What is the most unusual thing you have ever seen in life?

TarJak 06-12-13 07:28 AM

You banging coconuts to make music.

Why do coconuts sound musical?

They don't. They sound like horses.

frau kaleun 06-12-13 08:38 AM

NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!

If you had a hammer, would you hammer in the morning?

Sailor Steve 06-12-13 10:21 AM

Yes. I'd hammer in the evening too. All over this land.

To be or not to be: Is that really a question?

BossMark 06-12-13 01:48 PM

Well Mr Shakespeare must have thought so.

Some guy who did as the Romans did. I mean he was there, and all.

Who was the third James Bond?

Spiced_Rum 06-12-13 04:37 PM

A. There is only one Bond, James Bond.
The actor who played the third one in the 'serious' films (i.e. not Casio royal with Peter Sellers & David Nivan) was Roger Moore. Although technically Sean Connery did replace George Lazenby for 'Diamonds Are Forever' in 1971.

Q. Is a Martini with Vodka better than an traditional Martini with Gin?

WernherVonTrapp 06-12-13 04:51 PM

IMO, yes, with 3 olives please. But, that may not count since I don't drink anymore.

What makes the hottentot so hot?

Spiced_Rum 06-12-13 05:58 PM

The word Hottentot is first recorded in the late 17th century and was a name applied by white Europeans to the Khoikhoi. It is now regarded as offensive with reference to people and should always be avoided in favour of Khoikhoi or the names of the particular peoples. The only standard use for Hottentot in modern use is in the names of animals and plants. - Oxford Dictionaries
A. And I thought it meant 10 Zombies (hot-ten-tot) - warm 10 deceased.

Q. Do Zombies see in colour?

WernherVonTrapp 06-12-13 06:31 PM

I've never seen one in color, myself.

Who put the Ape in Āpricot?

BossMark 06-13-13 01:36 PM

The bloke who decided how to spell it.



Why did he do it this way:hmm2:?

Spiced_Rum 06-13-13 02:36 PM

A. The name apricot possibly derives from the Latin word praecox, which means 'early ripening,' similar to the word 'precocious.' Easier to say than its Latin name Prunus armeniaca.

Q. Why is a cranberry a berry and not a current?

Possibly because it has to be aged and doesn't have good electrical properties. A "currant", on the other hand, might have been harder to answer.:D

What makes the muskrat guard his musk?:hmmm:

Spiced_Rum 06-13-13 03:39 PM

Current, doh! :oops:

A. Because Muskdeer is so expensive.

Q. Why are carrots orange and carats gold?

Sailor Steve 06-13-13 04:10 PM

Because one helps the eyes and the other just looks good to them.

Speaking of carats...

Why is a diamond in the rough?
