  • I looked at the link. The answer you have given will qualify for a humorous/nonsense answer. But it is not a bogus answer in any way. This would be perfectly acceptable in the answerbag.

  • I would not do this too much. Enough users already do this here, and feel free to ignore the "really old unanswered" part. Funny answers are nice, and everyone is laughing. But they are generally not useful for the asker, except for bringing their question again at the top of the list. And after this, they disappear of the unanswered question list, and get less attention. I have made a few funny answers in the beginning, but the askers were often unhappy with them, not to say furious. So I decided to avoid to give funny answers, except if the question really "invites" to it. And I try to give funny answers only if I can also give a serious answer at the same time.
