Question

Has searching the Internet for answers to your questions ever failed you so you had no choice but to ask here?

Answer 1

yes, and I got my answer.

Its hard to search something if you have only a description.

I wanted to know a old cartoon featuring 2 professors 1 tall 1 short the little guy never talked he whispered.

Well I could find nothing on line so I asked here.

Clyde Crashcup from the original Alvin show

Answer 2

i search here first to see if anyone has had a question similar to mine before i ask that way i don't repeat what has already been answered.

Answer 3

I can't imagine that happening. With all the search engines available and the tons of info available, and not knowing how qualified or unqualified a total stranger might be on Yahoo Answers, I'm afraid I'd rely on a lucky guess before I'd look for serious help on Yahoo Answers. One has to be able to trust one's source. Libraries have reference librarians qualified to look up answers for patrons. Libraries have sets of encyclopedias and reliable reference books. Yahoo Answers is for the fun of it--not to be taken seriously.
