"How many people have died this year from squirrel attacks?"

I think it's actually a sensible question, though I can't think why anyone might want to ask it. It gets a [+] from me for the sheer bizarreness factor, though!

Same here - not stupid at all, but it made me smile.

Killer squirrels are serious business!

The idiots at bestfinance-blog.com like to sign up to unrelated websites and spam their doubtless extortionate wares in places where their adverts aren't wanted. If you're reading this, I suggest you avoid them!

Watch their heads divide by zero! Hehehehe :)

Well done - that's attracted one new user already! I was originally asked the question by the mother of someone I used to know, and it's not the only question on this site to have come from her.

Invented? They weren't invented. They're a hybrid freak-of-nature cross between a ferret and a wolf that never should have occurred.

Also nice to know is that the question was categorized as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered"

"Is Lady Gaga technically an alkali?"

If you place a piece of litmus paper on Lady Gaga it will reveal that she has a pH of 5. This means that she is in fact technically an acid.

Call centre employee: "Are you Mrs. or Miss?"
Female customer: "I'm Ms."
Employee: "What? What's that?"
Customer: "It's a title that doesn't reveal my married status, as whether or not I'm married is nobody else's business."
Employee: "Oh, that's a good idea - they should have something like that for men."

When I was little I thought "Miss" meant single, "Mrs" meant married, and "Ms" meant divorced.

Of course, in practice I wasn't too far wrong.
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 4 Feb 2010.
A lot of people think that!
    Posted by JT on 5 Feb 2010.
To be honest, I don't have the faintest clue how I'm supposed to pronounce all that. Well, except Miss, that one's kinda obvious.
    Posted by Socky on 8 Feb 2010.
Sock, Ms and Miss are the same. Mrs is Missis.

"Ms and Miss are the same?" I wouldn't say that to any feminists, if I were you!

This was asked in a politics forum, so I think it was a typo for "elections..."
