Remember when I was looking for the name of that damn rocket cartoon? Or who's kids Huey, Dewey and Louie are? Whenever I have a question, I can always Google it and find the answer. That's why Google gets to be a verb now.
But some people aren't content with the already convenient method of looking something up online. They want people to look it up for them. That's why there are sites like ChaCha, where you can learn that Jorge Garcia played the affable slacker "Hurley" in the move Armageddon.
And then, there's this:
"Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!" is NOT from Laugh-In! It's Cheech and Chong, specifically "Trippin' in Court," from their self-titled 1971 debut album (Thanks, Google! I still love you.) Rowan and Martins...where are these people getting this blatantly false information?
OH, COME ON!!!

Yeah! They need to double check their sources. Especially that Random Squeegee place. We all know how unreliable any information is on there...
Next thing you know, there'll be some sort of Dolly Llama answer.
So... It's citing you when you never said it? How? Huh!?
ChaCha uses people to find answers to questions posed by other people. The question answerers get paid for every question they answer (whether they're correct or not, apparently.) What "Susan G." did was Google "Bailiff, whack his pee pee" and found my post. She obviously then just copy and pasted the line she cited without reading the context, or she would have realized that she quoted Joe and the whole point of the post was that he was wrong.
"If it's on the internet, it must be true."
At least... that's what PDM's students all think. Losers.
