The question answerer The internet is such an incredibly strange medium. And I quote:What this site is
In June 2003, I wrote something about instant messaging that included the words "question" and "answerer". In November of that year, a young girl trying to finish her homework searched for "instant message question answerer", found the piece I had written, and IM'd me, looking for some answers.
Foolishly, I titled that post "Instant Message Question Answerer" which became "sylloge: Instant Message Question Answerer" as the title of the page ("sylloge" is both my AIM screen name and the name of my personal site). People linked to it, and now that is the first result on Google for "question answerer".
And so, people — mostly kids doing their homework — IM me their questions. Depending on my mood, I am helpful or snarky. For a while I resisted, but now I have given in. At some point it occured to me to save the transcripts, and these are the ones I have managed to find. It has slowed down quite a bit, but they still happen from time to time and I will post the results here.

Toni:
1) Yes.
2) No. Only difficult questions are allowed. | | |
Princess:
Chlorophyll is the king of all plant pigments because sunlight happens to have less green light in it than reddish or bluish light. Therefore, plants that possessed a pigment, such as chlorophyll, that absorbed those wavelengths well would have a greater fitness (chance of reproducing) than those plants that focused on absorbing green light. Remember: a pigment that does not absorb green light, reflects it and therefore, looks green. | | |
Traci:
A daffodil is a vascular plant. The vascular system of a plant is a little like our circulatory system. It helps move material around to various parts of the organism. Nonvascular plants tend to be much smaller than vascular plants. | | |
| It was solved in 1964 by ENIAC, the first American computer. Since then all math done by humans has been redundant. So, to answer your question, to solve math you need to build ENIAC. | | |
| Is a Daffodil a seed plant? | | |
| which event probably did more to unite the colonists if British north america: the changes created by the constitutional act of 1792, or the war of 1812 against the united states support your answer | | |
I would say the war of 1812 since the Constitutional Act of 1792 never existed.
| | |
| I think he meant the Constitutional Act of 1792, which was the worst tragedy in the history of Quebec. In this shameful law, the British wrongfully separated Ontario from Quebec. We have been struggling to reunite for the past 200 years. Some day, we will reunite in order to finally achieve national independence. | | |
| You mean the Constitutional Act of 1791, which created Upper and Lower Canada. | | |
| why can steam at 100 degrees celsius cause maore servere burns then the same mass of luquid water at 100 degrees celsius | | |
Because steam exists, which allows it to cause more severe burns than the imaginary "luquid".

the answer is false
for the first posted question | | |
| Somebody died a dew days ago, they wanted to be rich and famous. They had huge dreams and goals they were going to achieve. Why they died is a mystery. Nobody Cares. Nobody wants to know. People walked by her dead body without a second glance. She was useless, wastefull. So why are people mourning? Why are people shedding tears for her. She knew it would hurt people but she did it anyways, she didnt think many would be sad but she was wrong. Now she sits && wonders about her future, writing this because she doesnt know what to make of her life. What should she do? | | |

| To what extent were the Nazis important in politics in the years 1919 to 1929? | | |
| They weren't important at all before 1930. They were pretty much just an organized gang that had streetfights with Communist gangs. They got 2-3% of the vote in elections and no one took them seriously. It was only in 1930 when the Great Depression hit and the governing coalition collapsed that they got enough votes to become important. | | |
