On the
journey for knowledge, always pack space for failure. Never be afraid to ask,
it’s better to gain new information by questioning rather than pretending to know. Teachers
have always encouraged us to be curious about our surrounding cleverly pointing
out using the epic phrase ‘(There's) no such thing as a stupid question’.
That is until
you do a quick online search for the most ridiculous questions on Quora and by
all deities above that is an eye and sinus opener. Your eyes are tearing and
you are slightly sniffing all because of tears of joy while reading these
curious masses out there.
Curiosity definitely
kills the cat, but people with absurd inquiry tend to leave those who answer these
question amused and in wonderment, eventually they defend the questions with
humour. Let me point out that I am not dissing on anyone’s doubts or questions,
but just simply saying that before you ask, do a prompt search online and if it
still does not quench your thirst then maybe ask the experts.
Quoting directly from the website (https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-funniest-answers-on-Quora ), here are some hilarious questions and their response:
What happens if time stopped suddenly for 5 seconds?

Why can’t I have a conversation with a girl in spite of being extremely proficient in science and maths?
Answer by Dayani Dodbele, an intricate array of Fermions.
Perhaps “the uncertainty principal” is stopping you.
When you are in the position to talk to a certain girl, you wouldn’t have the momentum to express your thoughts; and when you have the momentum, you are not in the position.

What is a good piece of random advice?
Answer by Niharika Banerjee, Experience has taught me much.
Never listen to a song right before an exam. It’ll be stuck in your mind while
you write your answers.
Mathematics: Is 30 divisible by 2 and/or 3
Answer by Christopher Reiss, BS in math, Putnam Rank 254 in 1990
Yes.
And using Quora to answer this is like killing mosquito with thermonuclear
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.
The aim of
posting these question was for humour purposes only and not to hurt anybody's sentiment. Although, these are just some jewels but Quora is full of many such
random and absurd questions. The people posting answers with their witty twists
are the real heroes keeping curiosity well alive and thriving. Laughter is the
best medicine the age old saying is never wrong and reading these Quora feeds
for the article gained quite a few chuckles and hearty laughs.
