Answer 1

Because they are incapable of abstract thought.

Answer 2

First thing first, learn to spell and not use the number 2 for the word to, its annoying.

There is no such thing as dumb questions, people ask because they are curious.

Answer 3

I don't know, why am I reading one now?

Answer 4

Sometimes it is because people just don't know and the question just seems dumb to you.  Others do it for the entertainment value.  I asked one in the horse racing section a little while ago.

Answer 5

It is just a mixture of people asking questions--all nationalities--religions--ages--life styles--races--a variety and mixture of intelligences.

Answer 6

I always say the only stupid question is one you already know the answer to.

Answer 7

You tell me

Answer 8

There are no dumb answers. Only dumb questions.

Answer 9

You just asked a dumb question yourself :P

Answer 10

you mean stuff like - 'My grandma said I am weird, why is this?' or 'My friend looks at me in a funny way, what does this mean?'

Stuff like that just makes me wet myself laughing!!!
