Questionswap.com

Random conversational questions are a fact of life. Why is the sky blue? Who will win the NCAA championship? Why do ostriches bury their heads in the sand?

Questionswap.com has all the answers. Rather, its users do. Type your question into the box on the main page, enter your e-mail address and then your query moves into the depths of cyberspace. You never know who might e-mail you back with the answer.

The catch is, you’re now at the mercy of someone else’s question. So in order to get my question ‘Why does Donald Duck wear a towel around his waist when he leaves the shower if he doesn’t wear pants normally?’ answered, I, in turn, had to reply to ‘Do you think that tesla coils are awesome?’ I had no idea what tesla coils are, but now that I’ve googled them, they’re pretty sweet. I wouldn’t say awesome, necessarily.

And apparently, according to my random respondent, Donald dons his towel ‘cos he’s dumb.’ Wow. Real revelation there. I wonder if I can get this guy to do my homework.

All in all, this isn’t really a site you’ll want to use every day. I’m pretty sure Google can answer all the same questions. Questionswap.com just has a smidge more personality.
