It all makes sense to me now.

Update - 12/22/07

The question was deleted from Yahoo Answers. I don't have it in my cache. Sorry. In summary, it said that the apollo landings had been faked in order to prop up the egos of white men.

This woo woo has just read his first Erick Von D*ckHead book!!

Chariots of the Gullible revisited, the epic story of the space race between the Mayans and the Egyptians

I like how the "United States" is in quotes like that, as if we as a country may or may not be real. I feel pretty real. The tax dollars I pay are very real. And those mind-numbing political commercials that will bombard us until next November are painfully real. But you know what, maybe we're not really a country.

Well, I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover (unless it's one of those monthly types that they keep locked up behind the counter...but I digress), but when one can't even start their article with semi-proper grammar, it's usually an indication of how sound the ideals contained within are. At least with the advent of the internet, trees no longer have to be needlessly waisted on literature like this.

*edit: oh, and just to be clear, that's how the sentence starts. No caps, no "The" or "A"

Ignoring the irony of that dangling preposition yeah, if you look around yahoo answers a bit, you'll see that it's primarily kids asking for help with their homework. It's becoming a *major* pet peeve to end a phrase with a question mark. I see a lot of questions with subject like this: "If someone went to the moon?" "Solve the equation?" It just urks me for some reason, like an itch I can't scratch. I guess that's the definition of a pet peeve.

I also have to admit that I've started reading the questions in the voice of the forest creatures from the South Park Christmas episode, particularly the bear that's always sad: "but, we have to have to have a star for our Christmas tree!" It makes reading yahoo answers so much fun!

The games up Fazor!

Maybe it had a thick atmosphere a thousand or so years back...

Oh wow.

You're welcome, but I actually misspelled it too. It's Dummkopf!

In Australia we refer to him as "Erich von Dunnycan"
("dunnycan" being the slang for an old-fashioned non-plumbed toilet: they always smelled pretty bad )

I'm still trying to recover from reading this one (Q is at the bottom of the page that tofu linked to):

Q: "Why didn't they let Americans know that there were 5 more landings on the moon after July 1969?"
A: "They have alot of secrets they dont want us to know. I think becuase they must have found something on the moon, and didnt want to tell us."

Is it just me, or is anyone else appalled at this level of ignorance? I can't help wondering what wondrous things we might have accomplished if more kids actually learned something about science in school.

That's not a dangling preposition, it's ending the sentence with a verb, which is grammatically correct, although not often used and a holdover from the Germanic roots of English.

Next thing you know hairs and infinitives you'll be splitting!
