Title: Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Post by: German_EE on May 29, 2016, 11:31:43 am
I've finally decided that there is no hope, we're doomed. The following was posted on another forum:

Does anyone know if it's possible to use a background that would essentially turn my computer monitor into a mirror? I have tried scanning a mirror and it doesn't work.

Ah! wondered what the original source was and Yahoo Answers seems to be a great way to spend a rainy Sunday.

Is there a spell to become a mermaid that actually works?

Why does my arm shake and turn bright red when I'm eating dirt?

Are there birds in Canada?

Do you think that NASA invented thunderstorms to cover the sound of space battles? (I like that one)

Is there gravity in India?

I could post more but I decided to leave it up to you to find the best ones  :)

The truly frightening thing is that the people asking these questions are also likely busy forming 'babbys' of their very own!
