As the editor of MakeUseOf Answers I see a lot of tech-related questions every day. Since every question is moderated, most of the embarrassing fun is edited out and the most ridiculous questions never see the light of day. From an entertaining point of view that is too bad, but on the other hand, we really want to make the world a smarter place.
If you don’t know what I mean, have a look at 15 funny Yahoo Answers questions from Yahoo users. How do these people manage to survive?

Hi Ed,
How can you presume to list some of the funniest questions on Yahoo Answers when you so conspicuously lack a sense of humor?
Of all the questions #10 was (a) intentionally funny, and (b) quite amusing. Your ‘Smartass Answer’ was frankly, pathetic, even bigoted.

Most of these aren’t really that funny.
The “Smartass Answers” to the questions that are so obviously jokes just makes the Smartass Answerer look like an idiot. Especially with Question 10.
