Yesterday, a list of the ten most unanswerable questions of the last decade was released. I'm not sure what it says about 21st Century mankind; that we are an image conscious, occasionally contemplative, philosophically challenged generation, who are stupid enough to ask a search engine existential questions?
Perhaps one who frequently googles personalised questions such as 'what operating system do I have?' or 'what is my postcode?', shouldn't be so quick to judge.
Although knowing the meaning of life would be useful, I think there are some notable omissions from the list:
1. Does the spinning top fall?
2. How did Paul really know?
3. Where are all of my socks, hair ties, hair pins, and lids to containers/containers to lids?
4. How do I convert fahrenheit to degrees? Why can't it be an easy formula?
5. Why would anyone use Ask Jeeves over Google?
