This is pretty cool...Do you have a question that you can't find an answer to? Google Answers hires researchers to search everywhere for an answer for you; for a price. The price is set by the questioner, but a higher price usually means a faster answer. Researchers get to keep 75% of the money. And the answer is usually returned within twenty-four hours. There are some restrictions on what can be researched (no illegal stuff, porn, Google secrets), but it can be quite a handy tool when you can't seem to find that answer you need.

This is a great site for submitting all of those broken things in the world. This Is Broken is a collection of various things like signs, warnings, maps, etc that don't quite mean what they say or don't mean anything at all. Very funny.

For those of you tired of trying to get these ridiculously long URLs to work in emails, on your blogs, or in Instant Messages, try using TinyURL.com. TinyURL will give you a short URL that you can paste into emails, etc. This means you can turn this:
