·Though I've never agreed with the idea "there are no stupid questions," I do agree that savaging those who ask what many believe to be stupid questions to be in poor form. The exception would be if there is a person who asks silly questions regularly in order to be a crank. I saw a thread recently about how often it's ok to wind a Speedmaster. If that guy truly doesn't know and is concerned, he shouldn't be shamed for his ignorance. I'm pretty sure we are all ignorant, only on different subjects, to quote Will Rogers. In the movie "Harvey," with the guy who says he has an 8 ft rabbit (pooka) friend, Elwood P. Dowd says,“In this world, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.” I don't always live up to that ideal, but I am trying.

·@chiswick may I suggest you just edit the title thread to Speedy Toilet Humour, so the more infantile among us (me included) can carry on with our silly puns as we wait for the new Omega / Blancpain / GO / Breguet releases on May 14th, without provoking any offense to the PC thought police on the OF.
There are clearly opportunities for comments on the use of "hand wound movements", for example, which I believe have not yet been fully explored to their full playground potential.
I do feel that your title thread was a bit too harsh in tone, but I do agree that sometimes many of us do feel frustrated with the apparent laziness of some posts asking seemingly "obvious" questions before even attempting a minimum OF or google search.

·When an accountant asks “how often should I wind my Speedmaster” we may laugh; when an astronaut asks the same question we pause, weigh the risks and give a considered answer.
As an aerospace engineer I find that stupid questions are often the most insightful into my false assumptions about others experiences and capabilities. I try to pay close attention to stupid questions on the ground, as the answers sometimes prevent stupid outcomes in the air.

·Some Stupid Questions below....best sung with a rousing melody in a major key, sort of a Book of Mormon mix....
Why is there so much hate?
Why is there no more loooooooove?
Why don't the flowers grow?
Why does the grey market hurt?
Why can't we just delete this whole thread?
Why can't we just all go home?
Well we are all so bloody tired,
Waiting for the Swatch to strike the GONG....
May 14th is finally here, I've waded through so many posts,
My mind is mush, my fingers bleed, Archer's gone...I feel so ALOOOOONE!!!!!
Chorus
SOOOO WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY OMEEEEEEGA?
DID YOU TEASE US SO, WITH GOLDEN STATUES, NEWSPAPER JUNKIES AND SOCIAL MEDIA
All together now...
OOOOH WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY OMEEEEEEGA?
DID YOU TEASE US SO, WITH GOLDEN STATUES, NEWSPAPER JUNKIES AND SOCIAL MEDIA
I NEEED to KNOW,
Will the Bezel Moonshine GLOW?
Will the SQUIRREL be my friend?
Now we are near the tragic end...
Whimper and fade....
But...did I leave it all too late.
Was there moondust on the plate?
Was the co-axial just a hoax?
Was the Aldrin just a Buzz?

·Can I wear my moonwatch whilst using the toilet?
You could, but it's risky. The Speedy is the least water resistant watch ever made. I see people on here daily destroy them by accidentally wearing it whilst washing dishes... I mean I'm scared to even wear mine outside in light drizzle type rain incase a droplet touches it.
If it falls into the toilet, game over.
Probably best to invest in a Ploprof for toilet use.

"There are no stupid questions son, only stupid f*ckin' answers!".
I haven't checked back through here to see if this pearl of wisdom has already been mentioned, so if it has, ignore my repetition.

·The real problem about other people’s stupidity is that
1/ stupid questions are not a crime;
2/ being mean is much worse than being stupid;
and 3/ no one can be sure their own questions or comments are less stupid than everybody else’s.
And of course 4/ if you were so smart perhaps you might find better uses for your time than spending it discussing stupid questions on a watch forum?
