When you type a question in at Yahoo! Answers and see that it's been asked 7 million times before, isn't it safer to just not ask it yet again, rather than risk the ridicule that will surely be heaped upon you if you do ask?

Oops! Better make this religious: Does your god endorse Pascal's wager?

Well if you want a broader range of answers it might be appropriate to ask it a few more times throughout the days or weeks, but 7 million times questions are like keys in the lava... let them go.

But, but really, 'Zilla - why WON'T atheists realize their faith makes them a religion? And really, if man came from monkeys... oh, and wouldn't it be better to worship a non-entity just in case it really exists and will reward you in the afterlife, even though the entire concept is absurd? Yeah... you're right. It IS safer not to ask the same questions, but my Non-Entity would prefer I take the ridicule to defend His/Her/It's omnipotence in the World of O, Dump and, I for one, shall heed that calling.

Ooh! Ooh! But maybe they didn't ask it quite right, or the right people weren't online at the time. Maybe, just maybe, if they ask just one more time, they would get a new and different answer, a bold and shiny answer that would blow away all doubt and mistrust!
Besides, those bottles aren't going to drink themselves.

SORRY? but I am not smart enough to come up with an original one so I just cut and paste the old ones.
after all the do say that imitation is the best form of flattery.

Hey my monkey/toe question wasn't asked. And I just kneeeew everyone would take it so seriously I just had to ask!!
My alternate was "If I can peel a banana with my toes, why are there still monkeys?"
Hugs..hope all is going well for you today.

Sometimes it needs to be asked again as the 7 million first times they got nothing but illogical bible quotes. Plus some questions will never stop being funny.

There are a limited number of easily determined questions that can be asked here....
There are a theoretically infinite number of idiots who can show up here completely oblivious to their own utter unoriginality.
Check the front page of the Philosophy board and tell me you can't see a "meaning of life" question... for instance.
The only thing to do is give up and let it go...

That's why I try to make my questions at least SOMEWHAT original......
I get the ridicule anyway sometimes, but at least if the question is somewhat original, SOMEONE might be spurred to think about what I ask.

I believe it is the newbies (and ignorant) that ask those questions. By definition that do not know better.
