If searching Google doesn’t answer your question, Google are now offering a way to hook you up with someone who has the answer. It’s called “Answers” and is presently in beta (this is why I assume it will be new to mah fellow dopers, apologies if this is old hat).

[https://answers.google.com/](https://answers.google.com/)  
So if you’re proficient in one or more areas of human knowledge, this looks like an opportunity to fight ignorance while getting paid for it!

Calling **Duck Duck Goose** , The **Queen of Google**. Now paging **Duck Duck Goose** on the white courtesy phone.

What a cool service, if you were good (as many of our Deneral Questions experts are) you could earn a decent amount of money there. Thanks for pointing that out!
