no.stupid.answers

To all our faithful (and not faithful, and angry, and hungry) readers,

We here at no.stupid.answers pride ourselves on our ability to look past the surface of any answer and find the spark of genius that resides deep down in the heart of it. We have been doing it for nearly three years, and it has been wonderful.

But a time comes when even the most optimistic and forgiving blog writers have to throw in their keyboards and admit: there are stupid answers. A lot of them.

So we’re hereby changing the name of this blog to: alotta.stupid.answers. We know this will offend, and for the next 24 hours, we don’t really care.

P.S. Happy April 1st.

While I’d be a true fool to compete with Google or YouTube in the realm of playing April Fool’s Day jokes, I will point out some interesting trivia about the springtime tradition; believe at your own risk.

• How did April Fool’s Day get its name?
• Traditionally, in some countries, the jokes only last until noon. If you play a trick on someone after this time you are the April Fool. (source)
• If you were born on April Fool’s Day what does it mean?
• In 1998, Burger King ran an ad in USA Today, saying that people could get a Whopper for left-handed people whose condiments were designed to drip out of the right side. Not only did customers order the new burgers, but some specifically requested the “old”, right-handed burger. (source)
• How did April Fool’s Day evolve?
• The frequency of April Fools’ hoaxes sometimes makes people doubt real news stories released on April 1st. (source)

I’ve been struggling to come up with a good April Fools’ Day post, but it occurred to me that just about every blog post to no.stupid.answers is a joke (at least, every Wednesday is).

Instead I will share a series of serious questions on a very important topic that must be spread:

• Who is Hannah Montana’s boyfriend?
• Who is Hannah Montana’s neighbor?
• Where does Hannah Montana live?
• Who is Hannah Montana’s sister?
• Where does Hannah Montana shop?
• What are opinions of the Hannah Montana TV show?
• Are there auditions for Hannah Montana?
• Why is Elmo’s costume red?

Ah, well. Old habits die hard.
