Right, I've seen this done on other forums, and it seemed fun.

The way this works is this: the topic started (ie. me) asks a question. The following poster answer said question and then asks another question. The next posters answers the last poster's question and asks another one, and so on, and so forth.

I know that doing things that worked on other forums aren't well received here, but post only if you'd like to join in, don't post just to attack this thread, please.

Questions can be serious or not serious, same goes for answers :).

Ok, here's an easy first joke question:

Why is the sky blue?

ManicMatt

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.

Now my question:

Why did Dan think this would be a good idea when he fully well knew we'd think it was stupid?

Gamer_V

Because this forum is full of whiners.  ;)


What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What do you mean, an African or European Swallow?

Is this your question?

Dan_N

People.

Please try and keep within the game rules, ok? :)

Of course, I have no control over you, but I urge you all to post within the rules. If you don't plan to, don't post.

Thanks.

I'll reask Gamer's question:
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

(remember that neither answers nor questions need to be serious ;) )

It is around 25 M.P.H (Approx)

My question is:

Where would we be without rhetorical questions?

Jon you're wrong! You're all wrong! The answer is 42!

We would be on Mars.

What, cosmically speaking, is the relevance of this question?

Cinematically, red is bold and stong and a viewer can identify it with danger.

Where do babies come from?  Surely someone here knows.
