What are the advantages and disadvantages of asking the same question in both general and social?

There are some questions that are perfect to have fun with, as well as to give serious answers, but if they are in general, you can’t have any fun. So, do you think it should be permissible to ask the same question in social, so as to garner humor as well as seriousness? If not, what should a person interested in fun do in order to pose that question in a forum where people could have fun with it?

I mean. Come on! Why do Rice Crispies snap, crackle and pop? The possibilities are endless! Personally, I think it has something to do with those little elves and a dominatrix.
