It is our nature to ask questions, driving us to discover and learn about everything around us.
Asking questions about things we have no clue about will might make us look ignorant, but that's ok, we are all ignorant to some extent.
But worse is asking a stupid question considering ourselves to be clever, thinking that no one can answer it.
Proverbs 26:4 said "do not answer anyone according to his foolishness, that you may not become like him."
you might find it interesting to play around with a some allegedly confusing questions that I've taken from different sites.
It is claimed that some of these questions have no answer.
I disagree, I think they all do, what do you think ?
I'll use following question as an example:
How do people get discombobulated? Have you ever seen someone who was combobulated?
Actually we could.
combobulated means to be combined in a chaotic and haphazard manner, similar to being cobbled together, but with more confusion and less care implied.
"During the storm, the toilet and chickens were combobulated into a feather flushing custerfluck."
