As I look at the site at this moment, the featured question is, "How do I bond with my rats?" I found the next featured question even more astounding: "How much should i charge for painting a fence?" Not an awful question, but in the details, the guy making the query points out that the fence is post-and-rail, and that the fence runs for 11,000 feet. If you were a landowner with a two-mile fence, would you want your contractor going to Yahoo! Answers to ask strangers how to estimate the job? That's a bit scary.

Wait. It's not as scary as the "[http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AlDqXDhDxp9NtXTiF.Xq3Pzpy6IX;_ylv=3?link=list&sid=396546046 Pregnancy and Parenting]" category.
