One of the sites I frequent is answers.com

I'm astounded at the questions on there, however. Here are a few to make you chuckle. (Spelled exactly as seen)

What wight oil goes in rear end on a 250 Honda ex threewealer?

What are diffrent types of ratatouy?

What are the five orangelles that all cells have?

How many times does the moon go into the sun?

How do you you toward in a sentence?

Have crickets been around since the sixth century?

Can r2d2 survive in water?

What is the opposite of 1 ton?

.... I weep for the species. Just think... these kids are our future legislature.



Just my 2¢

Under the category "Bands and Artists"...

Q: What band is called the hair band?

A: Could be either the one used for tying a ponytail OR the one that can be called an 'alice band'.

Huh?!?

Q: When do it mean when the moon cover up the sun not that much?

Q: What does anacondas worship?

Q: What dose lessor?

Q: Did the big dipper get its name because of what it looks like?

Q: What is the genre of a thousand suns?

Q: How does the nervous system help your?

Q: Does Barack Obama have anyone working for him?

Q: What is the population of the community?

Q: Why does the fan fuse keep blowing?

Q: What was life like before coca cola was invented?

And you have to answer in just a sentence or two! Heh heh!

A: No! Originally the Big Dipper was called the Big Bear and the Little Dipper was called the Little Bear. However, special interest groups were concerned about the political incorrectness of naked constellations names so they changed the names to The Big Skinny Dipper and The Little Skinny Dipper. Other special interest groups were opposed to the idea of some weight challenged (thin) people getting constellations named after them while other massively challenged (over-weight) people did not. Between those interest groups and the state of education in the world today, they just decided to name them what we now know them today as.

>Why earth do not touch sun?

Well, we are well within the heliosphere ... so one could make a case that we do actually touch the Sun. Sort of.
