Silly Questions to Irk People Endlessly

Ah. Silly questions. They irk some, tickle some, humor some, anger some. Silly questions have been here for a really, really long time. You'd think that there's no room for these in an intelligent conversation, but you'd be wrong.

Who says a conversation has to always be only intelligent, meaningful and insightful? It can be silly too. The urge to ignore a silly question as an 'unnecessary diversion/distraction', might be your first instinct.. but if you think back to it, that silly question will actually make you think. So here's to those silly questions then, a tribute, if you must.
