OK so I have been posting like mad today. I think this makes number 3. Look out!
#1. Usually I laugh at Yahoo Answers for dumb questions, this time I laugh at a snappy answer.
#2. At first I thought this was a serious question. You can never tell when dealing with the people at Yahoo Answers. Just think, some of those people will be our future elected leaders some day.
#3. WRONG WRONG WRONG but a funny answer
#4. Here is a blog that deals with the stupidity at Yahoo Answers.
#5. And to end my obsession with Yahoo Answers, here is another blog that deals with the stupidity found on that site.
#6. Who knew science could be so hardcore and sexy? Is it getting hot in here or is it just science?
#7. The sports world has many superstars. Some achieve that status through heroics and others through dastardly deeds. These guys had very colorful injuries. My favorite is Wade Boggs. They made a comment about it being hard to pull on cowboy boots with greasy fingers. Boggs ate fried chicken before every game of his major league career.
#8. There are many sports franchises out there that leave me scratching my head as to why they have the team name that they do. For instance, why are they called the L.A. Lakers when there are no lakes in Los Angeles? Were they that lazy and couldn't think up a different name after they moved from Minnesota? Well here is a list of some teams that almost had completely different mascots. The Minnesota Wild were almost called The Blue Ox...just bring back the North Stars!
#9. I found this list from Mental Floss intriguining. It is the origin of some of the best condiments. I had no clue that Hidden Valley Ranch was an actual place.
#10. I found this Bernie Madoff hate site. It contains hate mail amongst other things.
#11. Damn! This CD is out of stock. I so want it. I bet the rhymes are as great as the artwork.
#12. So this safety billboard in New Zealand has caused quite a stir. It shows a boy and when it rains the boy begins bleeding to remind motorists to drive safely in inclement weather. I wish I had that billboard around here instead of the drunk driving ad I always see where this guy sees blood everywhere. It's like a horror movie.
#13. G.I. Joe the movie is set to release soon or maybe it already has. I haven't paid attention. Anyway, I hope the movie is just like the original cartoon. Watch the videos, you'll see some great escapes.
#14. I think the website lives up to the URL's promise.
#15. Do you like to take photographs? Are you an idiot? Well here are 78 rules of photography for idiots. I learned quite a bit. First and foremost, I learned that I am an idiot.
I hope you enjoyed.

wow. these are awesome! lmao!
Yahoo Answers is great!
LOL Niiiiice!!! Those Yahoo Answers are the best!!
And the advertising agency that came up with that billboard idea -- W T F ? ? ? ... That is soo disturbing. The shock factor of a bleeding child will probably cause drivers to take their eyes off the road to stare at the billboard and get into an accident themselves. A billboard that strives to create awareness of hazardous driving conditions -- Oh the irony...
I just forwarded #6 to my friend who works in the Vanderbilt research labs
2 eProps for the effort... it's 1:45AM and I have so many sites to check-up in order to catch-up. Will come back later for another comment.
I love the molecular diagram showing the "penetration". What a riot.
I always enjoyed Yahoo answers! But every day youre only allowed so many credits... which is 5 questions a day. My best question and answer had to do with what it felt like inside a Kangaroo pouch. No shit, I got some guy from down under who does animal rescue stuff. A lot of roos get hit by cars but their joey is still alive in the pouch... and he rescues them. Its amazing who you can meet on that thing!

I remember when Yahoo Answers came out and switched to the points system how everyone was speculating as to what the points meant. One theory was that Yahoo was going to switch over to a pay service and that was due in part to those chain forward emails talking about how the gov'ment gonna charge for email because the post office was losing money. Well I scurried and answered questions and I would even cheat and go vote for my answer as best and get points for voting and then getting best answer. Well all it turned out was that they introduced levels and at higher levels you could ask more questions...phhhfftt! poop on that noise. Now I just make fun of it. Of course I also feel bad for the kids that go on there looking for help when it comes to body issues.

If I had seen that when I was in high school, I may have appreciated science and chemistry a little more.
@kachino -
I am holding you to that
@NoGraySunflowers -
I wish that when you opened that site it played a music file for some sort of adult movie.
@mZdejavuZ -
Yahoo Answers will never grow old.
I never thought of the irony with that billboard. Thanks for pointing that out.
@spicyhotcoffee -
I need to start going to Yahoo Answers to look for stupid questions. I love the ones where kids ask for help with their homework. Those people are fun to mess around with if they take your answers seriously and since they are going to yahoo answers for help I know some will take it seriously.
@look2ice -
Thank you...glad you enjoyed.
