I've been spending some time on Quora.com and some of the questions are odd, to say the least. (A less charitable person might use words related to extremely low IQ)

How could I get taller in age 16?  Have you tried growing? How about spending a year on a Space Station?

Why should we learn our mothertongue?  Ummm ...... so you can talk to people?

What latin song has ooh ooh ooh in the chorus?   All of them?

What's easiest way to escape from a conversation? Tell the other person you're a pedophile or that you've got Ebola.

I just bought a new suit and pair of shoes.

Mrs Moose baked some buns yesterday, Mrs Moose, me and son No1 ate three each leaving three for son no 2 who is visiting tonight.

I consider I did well holding out until 2:pm today, I'm ashamed to say they're gone, devoured, I admit I gave in to temptation. We don't even have a dog I could lay the blame on. It's one of the few days I'm not looking forward to the wife getting home from work.?

It will be difficult, but honesty is the only option.

She clearly did not bake enough and you have to hold her to account.  Accept nothing less than a full apology.

You are the only one who comes out of this with any credit.

By eating the buns, rather than just saying they were nice, you have demonstrated your appreciation rather than just offering empty words.  She will feel bad, but your kind act will be some condsolation to her.

I know you was only trying to be helpful Bob. I took your advice  and suggested that in future she should bake double the amount. Mrs Moose didn't take the suggestion in quite the spirit it was intended, informing me of the location of the #*%*ing kitchen, what #*%*ing ingredients to use and to make them my #*%*ing self next #*%*ing time.

For some reason I am reminded of Mrs Shadow's mentioning that she wanted a big "statement piece" on the wall in our hall way

Through the wonder of the Interweb I ordered one and while she was away I put it up. 

I maintain it is entirely her fault for failing to specify what she wanted which is why when you go down our stairs you are currently faced with this:

Apparently not what she wanted.

It's her fault really, after all, she's been with you for years now, she should know better and have secured them away if she REALLY wanted number 2 son to have some.

Women can be truely insensitive and it is hard on empathtic men such as ourselves.  I shall share these last posts with my girlfriend, I am sure it will be a learning experience for her.

I feel your pain. We should not lose sight of the real victim here, you offer a genuinely helpful suggestion and are met with a barrage of abuse and vitriol.

Man to man you have a valid point. Unfortunately Mrs Moose appears to be in an unforgiving mood, so I think instead of offering her anymore household tips/advice I'll just carry on making these buns.

More from Quora.com

I found a brilliant question today so I answered it:   Why are there so many kangarroos(sic) in Australia?

The Government refuses to issue passports to kangaroos so they have no way of leaving the country. Even if they could get the documents the international airlines won’t let them on the planes because they take up 2 seats (they have to sit sideways because of their tails) and their feet protrude under the seat in front so it’s uncomfortable for the passenger in front of them.

The delivery driver for my suit has to do 63 drops before mine and the parcel was loaded onto his van at 0616 this morning.  Happy I'm not doing that job...

Well, your parcel is in the tender hands of Yodel, so he'll probably do half a dozen deliveries, chuck the rest into a canal and bunk off for the rest of the day, reporting that he couldn't deliver them.

The Isle of Dogs in London is more densely packed in terms of population than Tokyo and just falls short of Hong Kong population density.
