How is babby formed? How is babby formed?[More:]

The wonderful world of Yahoo! Answers (via brownpau's deleted Ollie Kottke post).
Yay for babbies and the forming thereof.
(I will be uncle soon. Proud uncle)

I just discovered that babbies animation yesterday--it is mesmerizing. Unfortunately, it seems like the second question isn't legit judging by the user's other questions.

I see what you mean. He goes from babbys not frigthing back to "What would happen if OPEC switched its international transactions from a dollar standard to a euro standard?" Doesn't seem too consistent.

I have got to change my settings. They tell me Chrismear posted this at 5.30am. Hmm! See I don't know if that's true (in which case you are sad, get a life!) or is it just my settings.
Imponderables.

But besides that I also found what he found disturbing. I must be missing something, besides the obvious answer which Matteo nailed in the blue, "microdonation". Love it.

Wilder, these settings are for US, Eastern Standard time... basically - NY time, I think.

So, if I post something that shows up around 5:30 a.m., it's really around 9-10 pm here, and probably 7-9 pm in London. We don't have the option of times showing up in our own time zone, but I've never really seen the sense of that. As a non-US person; it would just show everyone's posts and comments as mostly being posted in the late-night or pre-dawn hours for me. I'd rather see when when most people really did post (or close to that time) in relation to their day... and since most people posting are from the US, we use the U.S. time date.

thanks Taz, kind of worked it out from my post, which says 8.02. Although I was very virtuosly up at that time I must admit I wasn't on Mecha. I thought it was something like Meta where you could change it. No worries;-glad it's just not me being thick with techno as usual.

I thought MeCha was on Central Time?
posted by chrismear 07 July | 10:04
Yea, MeCha is on Central time, not Eastern time. Same time as New Orleans, not New York.

No Chris you meant Central line surely!

No, that's the wrong user (you have to click on "Questions", not "Answers" to get the correct tab). Anybody can answer a question, smart or dumb, and people do.

kavya may be a put-on but his questions are consistent:

I want to commit sucide? (in "General/Home & Garden")

What is my religion?

What are a lesbian, bi and gay?

What is portfolio?(website designing).how can i make one for me?

I linked to the correct user. There doesn't seem to be a way to link directly to the Questions tab though. But the user 'claytr0n' asked the OPEC question miss lynnster quoted and also:

"Selling a piano? The piano is a Ernest Gabler & Bros baby upright grand, 56", from about 1880. How should I go about selling it? Craigslist, Ebay, newspaper classifieds, piano store?"

And...

"Why are so many people pretending that international/development... aid is effective?"

Along with...

"They need to do way instain mother>
who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back?"

So not consistent at all. claytr0n may have been imitating kavya though.

That animation is killer funny, though. I keep breaking into laughter, and I can't get "how is babby formed" out of my head.
posted by taz 07 July | 23:43
i know, me too. That and i keep talking like bad grammar cats today either.
How is bukkit formed?

posted by ethylene 08 July | 00:05
either is there how?
i has rum bukkit now.
posted by ethylene 08 July | 00:06
Ha!
posted by taz 08 July | 00:11
I said "how is babby formed?" to my friend earlier today and had to explain why I kept dissolving into peals of laughter. It loses something in the translation.
