Top 10 Amusing Questions To Ask Siri

Since the iPhone 4S release back in October 2011, people have been falling in love with Siri the world over. In case you’re not familiar with it, Siri is your virtual personal assistant neatly stowed away within your phone. All you need to do is ask Siri a question – using your spoken voice – and the little imp inside attempts to understand what you’re asking of it, and return to you some satisfactory and enlightening results.

For instance, you may be driving along the motorway, returning home from the airport or a concert or a reunion, when all of a sudden hunger strikes and the only thing that you know will satisfy you is a big bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. But where is the nearest outlet of such tasty delights? Well, you can ask Siri to find out.

By simply stating your question clearly into your phone – “Where is the nearest KFC?” – Siri will consult Google and return to you a list of the nearest service stations that provide that particular food that you’re after. It’ll even give you a map of how to get there.

But, perhaps the most fun that can be had out of Siri – which has a rather quirky little attitude all of its own, you know – is in trying to come up with amusing questions for it to try and find the answer to. And so, just for a bit of fun, below is a list of the ten best ones we could think of. And please note – Siri doesn’t always give the same answer, as you shall see – it really is a devilish little imp. Please share our Infographic (right click the link to download).

Number 3.

Ask Siri: Why are fire trucks red?

Siri: Because they have eight wheels and four people on them, and four plus eight is twelve, and there are twelve inches in a foot, and one foot is a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, and Queen Elizabeth was also a ship, and the ship sailed the seas, and in the seas are fish, and fish have fins, and the Finns fought the Russians, and the Russians are red, and that’s why firetrucks are red. (According to the Monty Pythonesque application of the principles of logic and etymology.) (BuzzFeed)

Siri: a) When they grow wings.

Siri: Once upon a time, in a virtual galaxy far far away, there was a young, quite intelligent agent by the name of Siri. One beautiful day, when the air was pink and all the trees were red, her friend Eliza said, “Siri, you’re so intelligent, and so helpful – you should go work for Apple as a personal assistant.” So she did. And they all lived happily ever after. (Student Beans)

Number 8.

Ask Siri: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
