Oh yes.

Dumb Questions is back! This is installment 8 of 11. That's right, there is an actual structure to the Dumb Questions saga. The number of Dumb Questions are equal to the number of films in the Friday the 13th franchise, hence the catchy titles of these post. Also people who have our rss feed on firefox will realise that you never see more than 1 dumb questions in the feed. Yeah, so this is more than a "blog-filler" it's a "Ounce-of-thought-blog-filler."

So lets begin.

If I save time, when do I get it back?

Well sorry to burst any bubbles but here is a unknown truth...

Our very own drug-pushing, child-molesting Melaisis steals it.

Keep it stum though! I didn't say anything if Scott asks.

If a fat guy falls in a forest and no one is around to hear him, does he make a sound?

Oh, I get it, it's a joke. The original is "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" This is a philosophical riddle that raises questions regarding observation and knowledge of reality. The origin of the question is unknown, but the current phrasing appears to have originated in the twentieth century. A 1910 physics book asks: "When a tree falls in a lonely forest, and no animal is near by to hear it, does it make a sound? Why?" So there.

Fellow male readers (and I guess a few females too) take this as a life lesson.

Are there any unguided missiles?

...yes.

After they make Styrofoam, what do they ship it in?

"Nnnnidunno" Tanget time: Styrofoam is a trademark name for polystyrene thermal insulation material, manufactured by Dow Chemical Company. In the early 1940s, Dow invented a process for extruding polystyrene to achieve a closed cell foam that resists moisture. In recognition of its superior insulating properties, buoyancy and "unsinkability," it was originally adopted in 1942 by the Coast Guard for use in a six-man life raft. Styrofoam can be used for building materials including insulated sheathing, pipe insulation and floral and craft products. Styrofoam insulation has been used in many notable buildings and facilities in North America. The Dow product can be identified by its distinctive blue color. Styrofoam can be used underneath roads and other structures to prevent soil disturbances due to seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. The word Styrofoam is sometimes misused by the general public in the United States as a generic term to indicate polystyrene foam, such as coffee cups, cooler or packaging material are typically white in color and are made of expanded polystyrene beads. The Dow Chemical Company works to educate the public that STYROFOAM is a registered trademark rather than a generic term for polystyrene foam. So there.

If Fred Flintstone knew that the large order of ribs would tip his car over, why did he order them at the end of every show?
