Too Late to Ask Profound Questions

I have a lot of pressing questions. What is the meaning of life? Why is the sky blue? And perhaps the most pressing question of the day: how in the name of Macintosh do you post images to the wikki from AOL? Having asked wiki questions before, I know (now that google isn't answering )I may never resolve these critical issues.

I broke my 6 year news fast this week by subscribing to the illustrius Press and Sun Bulletin. Just in time to get this earth shattering news: Google created a fee for service business venture called "Google Answers" that answered important questions for a fee, and then shut it down. Google Answers "charged a fee from $2 - $200 to chase down the answers to minutiae like 'How many tyrannosaurs are in a gallon of gasoline?'" Wow. Now THAT's profound.

Guess I'll have to come up with better questions. Like if this tornado carries me into the bizarre land of flat world business ventures, how do I ever get out? Because somehow, "real time" businesses seem so much more inviting. Businesses you can put your hands on, like the rubber chicken industry...
