Yahoo Answers...

[pyat]

It's like Wikipedia, except all the entries are written by high school students. I've never seen a question on there that didn't have five contradictory answers.

For example - can peacocks fly?

Yes, no, only males, not males, I don't know, joke answer, spam, yes, maybe, "Here is a list of flightless birds," "This one time I seen a bird", etc., etc...

Well, duh, if you put enough "F" engines on anything it'll fly. Why this one time me and my buds...

Anyway, wisdom of crowds fer sure.

Down here in Ohio we'd say, "This one time I seed a bird."

I also liked the totally unrelated and incorrect "females are usually white" comment, just to red-herring the whole thing.

Not that I want to colour anyones' judgement.

My favorite answer is the one that says that those with private jets can.

I love how all of those people are on the internet without using the internet.

I love Yahoo Answers, despite its ability to inspire abject horror. I mostly peruse the relationship advice sections, which get rather gnarly.
