The brilliant answer to this comedy Quora question made the whole thing worthwhile

To the world of Quora now – no, we don’t often go there either – and this unlikely sounding question about WW2 and the Channel Tunnel.

And the answer, which has just gone viral on Twitter, made the whole thing worthwhile.

I love Quora.

And just in case that’s tricky to read in full …

Boom.

Hats off to a brilliant reply to a very stupid question though https://t.co/XRvukW7aLE

That’s a great answer, though.

This is so dumb. Everyone knows the real reason is the Panzer tracks were too wide for the Eurostar gauge https://t.co/Gth98C026L

There was an attempt to build a channel tunnel in the 19th century. Invasion was one of the main points of contention. How someone could launch such an Invasion through a tiny tunnel and not be stopped in the bottle neck is beyond me.

This is exactly the kind of answer my dad would give, and he would do it with a totally straight face, adamant that it was absolutely true. https://t.co/s9htYnXL3H

Quora sucks, no matter your question , the answer will always be a “story” that always begins with “when I was in first grade” and will always end with “and that’s how I met the love of my life, happily married 30 years now ”. My question was about electron charge but whatever.
