Okay, mine was clearly the coolest and most informative answer.

Dumbest question ANYONE ever asked.

My mother: "Why do boys have belly buttons? They can't have babies."

She was forty.

Yes, 'cuz that's where God poked 'em to see if they were done yet.

Dumbest question I ever heard IRL:

After hearing that the mummified corpse of an American Indian had been found in Mammoth Cave and that it was dated to be over 2000 years old, a lady asked the ranger: "I wonder if he knew Jesus?"

If you tell a really really big whopper, is that terabull?

Wow. I wonder what could happen in a yottasecond. I think I'm going to try to use that word at least once a day in conversation. It's fantastic. [Smile]

Hmmm, a whole lot I would say, you're looking at 31.7 trillion MILLENIA ----> or 31.7 Quadrillion years give or take a few trillion years.

Quick may be a Yotta-second. Less still,a Yoda-second. Yet in a Yoda-second, everything yet nothing.

The force travels all in a Yoda-second

Dumbest question I've ever asked:

While on the phone with a friend, she suddenly screamed and said, "Oh, God! I've cut off my toe!"

And I replied, "What? Are you sure?"

So did she? (Why does that conversation sound frighteningly like one I would have... of course I'd be the one doing the screaming...)

My dumbest question:
In Spanish class we were discussing something, and the kid next to me said sarcastically, "Yeah, because apparently Cuba's now part of Connecticut." My reply? "Really?" [Blushing]

In class once I overheard a classmate convince someone that Texas was bigger than the United States.

When we were dating, my husband used to lie to me just to see if I would believe him. (Pretty sad.) Once he told me that, while living in Taiwan, the dolphins would be friendly to you to get you to ride their backs, then they would take you into deep water and leave you to drown.

I believed him.

Friend: Really? Aren't you scared?

I've asked that before, and I haven't received a satisfying answer yet.
