Yup, there sure are dumb questions.

May 11, 2015 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Find answers to your silly questions... withiut anyone knowing you asked!Oh, yeh, right, “there’s no such thing as a dumb question.” That’s what people say while sniggering up their sleeve at your insanely inane question.

For example, this morning I saw an aDORable YouTube video on Facebook about a little red fox. Which made me realize that I have often wondered, at least subconsciously, “are foxes more like dogs or cats?”

Okay, for those in my audience who were biology majors, that’s a snigger-able question. Fortunately, there’s Google. Which doesn’t breathe a word to anyone about how dumb I am.

And “I looked it up on Google” is a phrase heard round the world. For example, the intake supervisor came strolling our of his little cubby hole the other day to put a musical instrument, most of which was a dead tropical beast, on the sales floor. When he said it was a charango I said “How’d you know THAT?”…  he replied “I Googled armadillo guitar.”

So never hesitate to find out something that’s been kinda gnawing at your mind. Bypass the sniggering.

And more places to find answers to questions you might be too embarrassed to ask:

Everything you wanted to know about just about everything.

My favorite site for learning computer programs. They also have business, photography, and more topics.

Pinterest can be a better search engine than Google for some stuff.

If you hate that your past searches show up as ads all over the Internet, try IXQuick instead.

Everything you wanted to know about running a profitable resale shop without driving yourself crazy.

Oh yeh, foxes? Dog part of the animal kingdom. But you probably already knew that.

‘Fess up time! What have you always wondered… and where did you just go to find out the answer? And how much better do you feel now? And do you DARE to comment here on the TGtbT blog?
