Yahoo Answers

[Bear]

I recall a quotation where someone described yahoo answers along the lines of "millions of people all asking if they are pregnant"

I wish I could find the original quote - it was pretty funny !

Would that be the quote in Nick's post above?

When I was at Y! (and, as it happens, doing some re-engineering of the I18N aspects of Answers) we had an internal webdev conference. Norm (if you don't know who that is, you don't need to) gave a brilliant presentation about Best Practices and Coding Standards, which included the immortal words:

"So much of what we work on in Yahoo! involves lists: flickr is lists of images; del.icio.us is lists of links; Answers is lists of idiots asking 'How can I tell if I'm pregnant?'"

Anyone else find this the most genius contraption known to man. Some of it is genius.

I love it too.

Got into trouble when I went into the pets section and asked:

Question to female pet owners: Have you got a nice pair of puppies?

They didn't like that

Women: Would you turn a guy down purely because he had some metal in his dick?

My two favourite questions are:

"How to go about suggesting my gf about her sending me some eh risqué pictures of her *blush*?"

and

"I'm 26 weeks pregnant, cats keep following me about. Is that normal"

Forum holiday anyone?
