If a cadilac is heading dow the highway at 83 mph and loses it's left-front hubcap, how many pancakes will it take to shingle a doghouse?

It's a trick question. There is no such thing as cake.

I hope everyone realizes that the only reason this topic is allowed to live is so that more of my Mitch Hedbergy sigs can be displayed. * class changes to Cleric because he believes in Gosh *

Can we pretend that it's just a post where all of our combined stupidity can flow, and ignore that post?

but what you fail to ignore is the the fact that there is a probability of the hubcap to hit the dog house and also for the cadillac to hit the dog house. Now the common dog house would be needing 30 pancakes. You will first need an extra 13 because those will rip. Then you'll realize that those don't last so it will take multiple attempts to create ones that will not be eaten by the dog and survive the elements and by the 6th try you'll find out smaller ones are better. Five more tries will get it perfect and then the car will hit it and you'll have to make the dog house again. Thus the answer is: at least 913 pancakes, and thats with a standard size...

But what kind of pancakes are we talking here? If these are run of the mill buttermilk pancakes then we're fine, but what if you use blueberry or raisin? In that case the entire problem would need to be reworked.
Gettin into the Hedbergisms- I was in downtown Boise, Idaho, and I saw a duck, and I knew the duck was lost, 'cause ducks ain't s'posed to be downtown. There's nothin' for 'em there. So I went to a Subway sandwich shop, I said, "Let me have a bun." But she wouldn't sell me just the bun, she said that I had to have something on it. She told me it's against regulations for Subway to sell just the bun. I guess the two halves ain't supposed to touch. So I said, "Alright, well, put some lettuce on it," which she did. She said, "That'll be $1.75." I said, "It's for a duck." And they said, "All right, well, then it's free." See, I did not know that. Ducks eat for free at Subway! Had I known that, I would have ordered a much larger sandwich. "Let me have the Steak Fajita Sub - but don't bother ringing it up, it's for a duck! There are six ducks out there, and they all want Sun Chips!"

More specifically, blueberry pancakes of normal size with maple syrup on them.

The maple syrup would only weaken it. The addition of many raisins would chemically alter it so that the rate of aquatic decay would lessen by 3.5as (alkaseltzers) but, if you add a Chuck Norris factor of .015, the water will stop an inch away from the pancakes and bombard your enemies with roundhouse kicks.

Oh, but the maple syrup-covered blueberry pancakes are not subject to any Chuck Norris factor, instead being the subject of the SNFL (Specially Nullified Factory Law), stating that whenever more than thirty-four are placed in close proximity, a rupture in the space-time continum wil open up, causing a large void to appear midair where the pancakes once were. Due to the simple concept of nothing being everything and everything being nothing this will prevent any rain from entering the doghouse, due to the fact that everything will be contained in said void, most of which will not allow water through. Therefore, it will only take approxiamtely thirty-four blueberry pancakes with maple syrup to shingle a doghouse. The problem arises with storage...

Not really, everyone. The answer is 60,000 gumdrops to line the pancakes that are shingling the doghouse, which is about to get run over by a Cadilac going 83 MPH that's lost its left-front hubcap, driven by a banana that says "PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!" but is secretly thinking that there is no such thing as cake.
