Yahoo! Ask. I Ask Where The Answers Come From.
While wandering around on yahoo I stumbled onto the Yahoo! Ask section. On this section there was a very creative answer for why cats and buttered bread always land the same way. The odd thing is that they found the answer on Altavista. I would think Yahoo! having one of the best search engines around would use their own stuff or maybe they are checking out the competition or maybe that employee has been an Altavista user since back in the day. No big deal really, it just struck me as odd.
One more thing.
On the Ask homepage there is a link under ‘Bookmarks’ for ” Emily Post Institute” which when read quickly looks a lot like “Emily Prostitute”. It made me double take. It’s funny how the dyslexic mind twists things around.
