The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked. Laughing at people really puts a dent in that, sadly.

How heavy is 1KG of iron?
Asked because not asking is apparently stupid but the question isn't.

Not a fan of the Socratic method, I see. When I was a child my father would ask me and my siblings "Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?"
It wasn't a stupid question, it was an enlightening question, and your "stupid" question would not have sparked further discussion if you'd not asked it.
Thanks for proving the quotation right.

Why do you ask? Oh, for purposes of helpful demonstration. Seems like a question that is stupid by letter but not by spirit.
I do concede that there are dumb questions, of course. Although typically I like to say, there are no dumb questions but there are dumb times to ask questions.

Heavy enough to hurt you if it falls on your head, light enough to easily carry for a while.

Your answer isn't in weight but I asked how heavy it is, I expect a weight as answer.
Also I just doped a 1KG block of iron on my head from 1mm distance and it didn't hurt me. Then I cold rolled the block of iron into a 4x4m sheet of metal and I was unable to carry it around for more than a few seconds. Your answer is not only useless its also demonstrably wrong.
Maybe just maybe the question is stupid.
