SarahI, or Sarah, a fabulous WikiAnswers QA Engineer and our resident photographer, traveled all the way to Thailand and all she gave away was an Answers.com t-shirt… or several!

While exploring Ko Phi Phi Island, Sarah met a couple of junior smarties who became fast Answers.com fans; seems they all share a taste in fashion (and cuteness!).

One boy she met needed a little cheering up while his dad worked on a boat nearby. Hopefully his new t-shirt helped:

Another boy was happy to make friends with Sarah while his mom snapped a photo of them:

Turns out he is also a local celebrity who performs in a kids’ show at a boxing stadium:

The question-answering process is actually a cycle of growth: You ask a question, and get an answer, but that leaves you with so many new questions. Which grow into a new cycle. Of growth. And so on.

Like, for instance: Who is more powerful, ninjas or pirates?

Obviously the answer is ninjas, but why? Some say speed, others say the slick black outfits. But then why black? Why not green? And how speedy is speedy enough to defeat a pirate, what with his parrot and funky accent?

My love for answers is like a bar code. Each time I click on a new question to explore, I hear the little ‘ding’ of something going through the checkout, like a supermarket of information.

“There’s a spill in asle 4!”

Oh no, my friend. That’s not a spill; it’s the spreading of knowledge.

The Answers.com embroidery on our new T-shirts look like this on the inside of the shirt. Some of us have been wondering why it’s like that. We quickly turned to WikiAnswers.com, and here is the answer we found.

What do you call a genuinely all-around extraordinary human being who has a sincere love for all things ANSWERS? Delltechie – who had this to say about our beloved Answers.com and WikiAnswers.com:

“This is what makes them unique: they appreciate the people on their site(s),
which is a definite unique selling proposition.”

Thanks DT! We love you, too!

See that down there? (No, not your shoes, weirdo).

That’s a WikiAnswers sticker stuck to a telephone outdoor fuse box thingie in a random Jerusalem construction site. I had one of my spies find it and send it over for inspection and dissection. And what conclusions have I drawn?

That damn, those little orange guys are cute.

Ever notice how there are a lot of “ologies” out there?

You have the obvious ones:

Psychology. Biology. Sociology.

You have the ones that make you think, do I ever need to know about that:

Paleontology. Oceanography. Geology.

You have the courses you took in university as an excuse to be there:

Anthropology. Etymology. Meteorology.

You have the ones that make you shudder:

Scientology.

You have the ones that make you do a double-take:

Speleology.

Well, at least there’s a place where you can learn all about the different ologies. Let’s face it - you never know when you’re going to be out there in snow-capped mother nature and need to know a little something about Climatology.
