Can you find the oldest question in Yahoo/Answers History ?
I was just wandering the same thing! I Found this : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AizL5SM.3XLN_5QFPJlT8mkjzKIX?qid=1005070500002 Seems to be the oldest question. It was made by a guy named Tim on 7/5/2005. [1,2] BUT, there is an rumor that this question is actually the second question ever asked on yahoo answers. The first real question was deleted---but why? dumdumdum.... [3] (look for kevins comment and the one under it too) Cool question! =] Feels like going back to the begining of time lol

YAHOO ANSWERS is it cheating to cut & paste your answer from wikipedia?
Fu(k you. In your response to my question about bread...I'm 21, douche bag. This is my first time baking bread, but my millionth time in the kitchen. I'm just looking for another pan to put the bread in. And yes, it is cheating. But I would also give the person credit for actually looking it up. I suppose you didn't take the time to even find out how old I was, or anything about me. You just assume that because I was WONDERING if a wooden bowl would be okay to use in an oven, that automatically makes me a child?? Did I say I was making a fu(king BBQ? I had a feeling it wouldn't be good, I just wanted to make sure. Unlike you, I like to find things out before I do them. Present your sh!t to someone before you go posting crap!
Why do people always antagonize the person asking questions on Yahoo! Answers?
They always respond with "you, you, you're doing this wrong, your beliefs are stupid". Cmon, am i crazy when i see this happening or am i overreacting? Because when i got to look for an answer to a question i have and there are many answers, some of them say "you'd have to be stupid to ask that" and nothing else. This is especially wrong when people talk about metaphysical ideas. Is it right to say "your religion is stupid"? I've always thought it was wrong, but apparently some dont. i mean, have you had experiences of asking questions only to find people mocking and antagonizing your curiosity? are people just writing dumb things to get points?
Why do people think that Yahoo Answers is a Magic 8 Ball?
By first checking out one's profile/types of questions they ask, as well as how they've answered OTHER questions, it helps get the "feel" of where they're at in life, there age, their "status". It's sooo very sad when 15 year olds are asking if it's wrong to have a baby by their ex. Sometimes people just want to use Y!A's to chat, I think, too. What ever floats their boat. For those who do pose seemingly serious, "really would like to know" type questions, then yeah,...all we can do is give our best educated answer.To avoid any of us "talking out of the side of our face", I think doing some legit research is a considerate thing to do, in addition to examining their profile.Whatever sheds light on them and the question posed can be very helpful in giving "what we feel" (all in all) is the best answer FOR THEM. We sure could do WITHOUT the perverts, possible rapists, schmucks, smart asses, and the jerks, though! Mind you, that's merely MY opinion. Please don't be offended if I answered your question,...too "seriously". You asked it. I just answered. With a little "digging" you can discover that those four worded questions are being asked by teens and quite sadly, by pre-teens as well. So I really don't understand why some find it so baffling when coming across those sad, mindless, "empty" questions. Make it a good day. Take care.
