C) Hit the back button and ignore the quetion.

Bobby I don't even know why you answered this, we all know you are a genius. Are you point gaming!!? :)

Answer 1

Usually hit the back button and ignore it. But if the question has been around for more than 24 hours and no one has provided an answer at all, I might do some research and attempt to answer. After all, a half-baked answer is usually better than none at all. Even if all I can do is find a link to provide, that's something.

Answer 2

D) I read the answers, to learn about it. Then, I keep an eye out for future questions of that sort, and use my acquired knowledge to answer them to the best of my ability.

I'll admit, in some cases, you can bullsh!t your way through it. I've given answers where I didn't have any clue whatsoever, but with common sense and a little creativity, I made it at least somewhat relevent if not even truthful.

For instance, I once got a best answer for how to tell if a sword was handmade or factory made.

I didn't even know they MADE swords in factories until I read that question, aside toys.

And yet, 10 points to me, because I managed to lie in a believeable way.

I'm just special like that. :]

Answer 3

B) Deny my cluelessness and go off on a tangent trying to bring the initial question into a realm I understand--
Then I follow up with the wonderful edit button after I've researched it.

Answer 4

if it's a serious question then C, but if it's just someone that's obviously trying to make fun of other beliefs, or just typing to see his words in print- that B (without the looking like a fool part) because they might not know either

Answer 5

Seldom am I clueless. I am like Hill and Billary, i know everything and the things I don't know, I can blame Bush for a poor education policy.

Answer 6

The GOP doesn't care about anybodies moral issues. Abortion or gay marriage. They don't care about the economy. They are making money from the recession right now. They are the one percenters and they look down on us, all of us, like scum. They are just conning the cons out of their votes.

Answer 7

C - There are plenty of questions to try and answer without writing about something where you haven't got a clue.

Answer 8

D) I am never utterly clueless about a topic.

Answer 9

Won't happen...I have two more things to learn and I'm done...LOL.

Seriously,If I don't know...I don't answer...I would never want to lead others astray by spouting off some meaningless extemporanious rant just to be counted among the answers...

EDIT: LOL @ (((qUeEn)))

Answer 10

I tend to only answer questions to provide insightful knowledge on the subject, and occasionally to make fun of people for horrendous spelling/grammar.
