good luck.

Answer 3

the points are for me, they're all for me, you can't have any they're mine, mine, mine, .....they're useless.  its a reward system like the guy above me said. you can't trade them in for an x box or anything. it's just for fun, so have fun earning them. yahoo answers can be a little addictive, crazy at times and quite entertaining.
