Really stupid questions that we should know the answer to...
What nuts grow underground?
I was stumped by that one - until I was told the answer. Then I felt really stupid.
So my thought is - what stupid questions should we all be able to answer? Throw 'em out there

Are you really clever when you can define 'stupidity'?

My thought now is why would we want to know the answer to any stupid questions?
and, if we could all answer why would anyone bother to ask the question?

Re: Really stupid questions that we should know the answer to...
My DH asked me what I thought was a really stupid question the other day, one that I thought he should have known the answer to:
DH - 'Do Tesco sell Eggplant sweetheart?'
Me - 'Eggplant? Eggplant? no, they sell eggs, but they don't come on plants dummy, they come from chickens'
DH - *laughs hysterically* Then shows me what Eggplant is on wiki.
Soooo.... Sometimes you may think someone is asking a stupid question, but most of the time in my case, the question is legit and I'm the one giving the stupid answer

Why aren't french fries and popcorn considered vegetables when they're just cooked potatoes and corn?
