These questions are inspired by what Jay Leno did back in the old days with Jay-walking. He asked people basic questions and recorded them giving really stupid sounding answers. I would like to know how smart regular people are answering this type of question. Perhaps I should stand on the street and interview people. A good way to make new friends and perhaps some enemies.
