Actually, we love all Colins…

January 13th, 2010 by Liz

Today, on this partly sunny WikiAnswers Wednesday, we spotlight a wonderful fellow who plays a more important role in project management than he does in grammar:

What is the difference between a colin and a semi colin?

In case you can’t make out the text:

Colin (Answers.com project manager) is an awesome and amazing guy!
Semi is the prefix for half, so a semi Colin would mean you only have half of Colin, and that’s pretty sad.
A whole Colin is always preferable over a semi Colin.

Keep doing your thing, whole Colin!

Oh, and by the way: What is the difference between a colon and a semi colon?

Turkey is more than meets the eye.

Oh, turkey - a glorious word.

Sometimes you’re a country, others - a bird.

short story as well. Two cities to like.

A Native American…  and a bowling strike.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Keep in mind where to go if you need a video on how to roast a turkey, historical trivia to share at your dinner table, or if you want the final answer as to why eating turkey makes you sleepy.

The ninjas versus pirates debate.

November 18th, 2009 by Liz

It’s an age-old question. Seriously, this question has been around for as long as the subjects themselves.

Who is more powerful - ninjas or pirates?

Now, wait a second, you think you know the answer. You’re probably even pretty sure of yourself. But hold on. There are some very compelling arguments for both sides in the WikiAnswer.

I will say this - no matter which is the more powerful, they would each be even more powerful in large groups of their own. Which is why you might want to consider this:

That’s all I’m saying.

Oh, and today is the last day to apply for a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to the Answers Summit. Better move fast, ninja. Or pirate.

A lesson in gossip, girl.

October 21st, 2009 by Liz

Admittedly, I don’t watch Gossip Girl, but just as admittedly, I do enjoy the occasional celebrity gossip. One place I go to check out the latest is the Celebrities Q&A category of WikiAnswers.

But in case you’re not just interested in hearing the gossip - but, gasp, speaking it - today’s Video Answer, submitted by Pbramwell and yrotmaharg, will help you out:

How do you gossip?

By shorky, I think I got it.

October 14th, 2009 by Liz

Congrats to Sandface, who submitted quite a few Video Answers for the WikiAnswers Video Answer contest back in September - she won an Honorable Mention for this one:

What size are runt shorkies?

This video taught me a lot since before I saw it, I honestly didn’t know what a shorky was. But as we say here at Answers headquarters: Now I know.

I’m leaving… on a Cessna…

October 7th, 2009 by Liz

Cowleya and Brainiacs did a joint video answer for the 9³ Video Answer contest, taking off on a Cessna for us through flight simulation software…

How do you take off in a Cessna 172?
