Teachers say that the only stupid question is the one never asked... baloney! I have a plethora of them which, if you have the time or inclination, you can attempt to answer. Feel free to post some of your own.
Question #1. If the driver of a car travelling at lightspeed turns on the head- lights, will he be able to see the road?
Question #2. If you deliver a knockout punch to sleeping person, will he wake up or slip directly into unconsciousness?
Question #3. If men have mens prisons, and women have womens prisons, where do hermaphrodites go?
Question #4. If "pro" in the opposite of "con," what is the opposite of "Progress"?
Question #5. If you give a healthy person CPR, will he become healthier?

</STRONG>
Not a stupid question, infact it is a very good question in science.
Is lighspeed the higesth speed possible, or is there something faster.
And what happens to something reaching the speed of light. (Yes I'm aware of the theroy of relativity and all that - but it is a theory, and yes - I'm awere of the clock-experitments etc. but that was not lightspeed

)
<STRONG>
Question #2. If you deliver a knockout punch to sleeping person, will he wake up or slip directly into unconsciousness?
</STRONG>
Directly into unconsciousness.
<STRONG>
Question #3. If men have mens prisons, and women have womens prisons, where do hermaphrodites go?
</STRONG>
I don't know.
<STRONG>
Question #4. If "pro" in the opposite of "con," what is the opposite of "Progress"?
</STRONG>
That depends on the contex you use it, ei. if you are progressing towards a point, you can retreat away from the point.
<STRONG>
Question #5. If you give a healthy person CPR, will he become healthier?</STRONG>
Nope.
See no stupid question.
