Dumbest question you've ever been asked...?

mine was: in 2004 from a relative: why did I sell my property (bought in 1999 for $195,000) for $500,000 in 2004 (the peak of the housing bubble ). :facepalm:

for me it was: "Can you drown a lobster?"

Really?
Is it really such a dumb question? There are after all some water living creatures that can drown. Some species of sharks have to swim around to get oxygene, if they stand still long enough they eventually drown.

By a former coworker before I had my coffee: "Is lava hot or cold?"
The reason was there was a volcano eruption in Alaska and she thought the volcanoes were only in the tropics.
 
Was in a bakery and heard a lady asking the girl serving if the sausages (pork) were halal or not as she didn't want to eat halal meat :rolleyes:
 
Mine was: "Can you show me the way to (a massive and huge building in the town where I live)", while he was actually at destination and looking at it.

I couldn't help it, I told him to drive all the way around the city.
 
"You ok?" this happened when I hurt myself one time years ago. And this is quite possibly THE dumbest question anyone could ever ask. And they always fucking ask it as well. You could be on a motorbike and crash at 90mph into a wall and you are hanging onto life and blood everywhere and some silly cunt WILL come up to you and say something like "you ok, pal" seriously this is the dumbest question EVER.

"How old will your mum be on her 40th birthday?"

Srsly.

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Last Thanksgiving my 88-year-old father asked me where the bathroom was. Not a stupid question you say? Well, consider the fact that were were at his house when he asked me. :rolleyes:

God bless him. I hope I never live to be that old.
 
This has been asked of me quite often:

Upon arriving at a destination and meeting people, they ask, "Were you able to find the place?"

No, fucktard. I'm still driving around looking for it.

CaF2 has a Ksp = 3.8*10^-11 at 25°C. What is the [F-] in a saturated solution of CaF2 at 25°C?. :facepalm:
I mean duh

Duh. Simple process..

Ksp = [Ca][F]^2

[Ca] = x = [F] / 2

So, 3.8 x 10^-11 = x^3 / 4. Solve for x. This will give you the M of the solution and, assuming 1L, the number of moles of CaF2 that can dissolve.

Multiply by the molar mass of CaF2 to find the grams that dissolved and you have your answer in g/L
 
I had just did something wrong while making a pot of coffee in one of the company break rooms. The coffee overflowed and spilled all out onto the floor. As I was beginning to cleaning it up, someone came in and saw the floor flooded with coffee and said,
"Did someone spill some coffee?"

I said, no, the floor looked like it needed a little pick me up.

...here's your sign.
