We get some absurd questions here on the dope, but I’m not sure we can compete with some of the craziness of Yahoo Answers. There’s [Why are the holes in cats fur always in the right places for their eyes?](http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060712061806AA8hdbx). Haven’t we all wondered that at one time or another? And there’s [I watched Twilight last night with my girlfriend and now I think I am gay. Why?](http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgZo3SgQAFlQ_xw6g8_o3zZJxQt.;_ylv=3?qid=20090710235434AAAcK0i) I _knew_ there was something wrong with that movie. Just knew it.

But my personal favorite has got to be: [Who won’t my parakeet eat my diarrhea?](http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090717110015AAVRC7z) Next time, try spicing it up with some tobasco.

Post your favorites here.

I love that the Yahoo Answers avatars automatically make everyone cute-looking with perfectly-averaged facial features like a Hilliard miniature. It’s impossible to give yourself an ugly avatar.

I saw one a few years ago (no screencap or link, unfortunately) along the lines of:

**What direction does the sun rise in your neighborhood?**

I desperately hope this was meant as a joke.

Holy shit, that is the most sexist, base, terrible joke\* I’ve seen in a while…  
and I’ll admit to laughing for about three minutes straight.

- I don’t hear many sexist, base, terrible jokes. I think I’ll go watch The Aristocrats.
