What percentage of questions are troll questions?

In my opinion, I see these "troll questions" as a subliminal sense of humor and personally think some of them are quite funny. Why do you think?

Update:

Haha darkflux that is a simple yet accurate way to put it. You might like my next question *creeper face*

    about 9001% of them are (see, it's over 9000!).

    but trolls do what they do to upset other people, and to keep them on edge. for THAT i can respect them.

    the problem i have with them, stems from them using BAD INFORMATION to that ends, and arguing it to be accurate. if they were SMART, they would take an unpopular idea THAT wWAS TRUE, and force it down peoples' throats. like how communism is okay, and is not a tool of the devil. or how Hybrid cars are a stepping stone to saving money AND the environment while still driving. or how it doesn't matter WHAT religion you are if you want to be president, so long as you keep it out of your politics.

    always go for something that is a hot topic, but NEVER lie about it...

    I don't know, but I'm guessing around 33%. If it begins with "is it true..." then it's probably a troll question. Same with outlandish stories (e.g. "is is so wrong that I punched my girlfriend in the mouth, knocked out her teeth, and spent 6 months in prison?" or "my father sexually molests me on the dinner table every night in front of my mother. What should I do?") There are a FEW users who ask kind of funny "troll questions", but it seems by far most of such questions are malicious and not very funny.

    i'm undesirable with possibilities...yet i might want to wager that 9% were anti-gay, sixty 8% google might want to respond to, and the troll one we are going to by no potential comprehend particularly. i have requested questions about right here that i'd have particularly googled the answer to, i'm no longer somewhat positive why. : ]
