text: what's wrong with asking silly questions? yahoo is against fun. there is absolutely, positively, nothing wrong with asking silly questions 'why did the apple fall on the ground why didn't it fall in the sky?' - this silly question was asked by one dude named newton. i don't know why he asked such a silly question. some people here have a feeling that they are real know-alls and there are others who are just too serious about life. the know-alls must understand that it was by mere chance that they were able to experience or read or learn about a certain fact while others were not so fortunate. for the other types, it will be too late, when they understand that life is to be enjoyed even when you are on your death-bed provided you have the right attitude.
