Some askers are children who ask strange and silly questions. Perhaps teenagers or adults might think it's a dumb question when it's actually most likely an innocent child just being him or her self.
Sometimes it is a problem with language, there are many people from all over the world asking questions and getting answers from WikiAnswers and some have less command of the English language than others. They may be using a translation tool to phrase the question in English for them and the intended question does not always come through the online translation tools.
Sometimes people are being funny or asking rhetorical questions to see how others answer. Other times the question may seem dumb to you, but to others it could be very serious. So be diplomatic in your answers and remember that no questions are dumb questions, unless you already know the answer to it.
WikiAnswers contributors work very hard to give good answers to all questions with these possibilities in mind.

What is the meaning of WikiAnswers?
The meaning of WikiAnswers is so people can ask questions and others can answer them. I think that more people are asking questions (which is fine) but not many people are willing to answer them.
Why do people ask so much dumb questions?
What is dumb to one person is not dumb for another. We all have to start somewhere. It is better to admit you are ignorant about something and ask, even if others might call it a stupid question, than it is to make mistakes or be impaired in your communications with others.Now, sometimes people engage in trolling and ask nonsense or offensive questions. They often are after a rise out of others or just want attention. The users and supervisors at WikiAnswers try to deal with those types of questions.
