Definitions of Yahoo! Answers according to Urban Dictionary?

Isn’t this funny? lol i almost peed on my pants

Yahoo Anwers:
1) The absolute best fucking place to troll; at home, at work, and especially during classes that allow unmonitored internet access.

2) Home of some of the most idiotic, ignorant people on the face of the earth. Almost everyone on the site will believe just about anything you post.

3) The hardest place NOT to be suspended from.

4) A great place to get some of the worst information on the web. Most of the people have nothing else better to do and just answer for points.

5) Home of the most bitchy pregnant women that you will ever come in contact with.

A useful novelty created by Yahoo that was designed for those who are curious about the things in this world but are too afraid to ask. Also, this allows people to share their knowledge with the rest of the world. Unfortunately, after December 19, 2006, the day the message boards died, trolls now need a new home, so it looks like Yahoo Answers are about to be hijacked by ignorant trolls.

Apparently I’m a b*tchy pregnant woman now…

Where is the urban of Tampa?

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:12:40 +0000

ok, i live in lutz outside of Tampa and there seams to be no real urban to it. There are some large buildings in downtown and their is a great skate scene but tampa doesn’t have much atmosphere, no one walking the streets during the day only Ybor has night life most of Tampa just seems like suburbs that grew close together, their are not food stands, graffiti groups, punk houses, STREET ATMOSPHERE, places to loiter it, doesn’t seem like a city. Maybe Im just missing something, maybe its just cause Im from Jersey? But were is the urban to Tampa?

That’s how pretty much every city in America is, except part of New York City and parts of Los Angeles, and college towns, and colleges, they tend to be cultural and stuff, otherwise, every city in America is as you described, with suburbs, and everyone in their homes. I know Canadian cities are much more urban. Even cities like Vancouver, Canada which only has 2 million people, is much more urban and has much more buildings than Tampa, which has like 2.5 million people. Also, all of Europe is pretty much urbanized, with people on the streets at all times. You would love Europe.

Most Americans live in suburbia, and that’s the direction that most cities have gone in.

Aren’t the cities of America beautiful?

admin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 22:18:52 +0000

I love cities, especially New York. One can argue about it’s appeal, but you cannot argue about its culture and history. Does anyone else agree that the cities and urban areas of this country would be such great places to live and visit, with their old world style, historic appeal and nostagia, if it weren’t for the damn cockroaches that have to breed there?
I’m talking about historical as far as America’s history, not the world’s. New York, for axample is a cultural melting pot. Too bad most parts of it are no longer safe. Hence the cockroaches.
But in cities you have to worry about their bullets coming through your window. And they are in plain sight, whereas in rural areas they stay in their crevices, and don’t leave their trails of shit across walls and buildings.
Hey, Bob, New York is home to ellis Island, and where almost every immigrant at one point in time settled.
It is also where many poets lived, and where many styles of music where formed.
Do some research ok?

you think new york is good, i challenge you to visit Chicago. I would say Chicago is the best city in the world, not only its amazing beauty, but its rich rich culture. Everything about Chicago is amazing and I think someone open-minded like you can appreciate that.

College dorm room bedding?

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:35:45 +0000

I am attending Johnson & Wales next year as a freshman and i am not sure where to get my comforter set from.
I want something really cute and different. I generally shop at Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, H&M etc and i am a fashion major so I want something really cute.
If you know of any great places or ideas let me know pleaseee!

Find something cute, but don’t spend to much. Expensive stuff has a way of vanishing in a dorm.

Why not consider St. Louis as your next travel desination???… here is all the info you need :o)?

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 01:29:00 +0000

Do Something Different!!!

My thoughts as a native St. Louisian….
St. Louis, Missouri is a great place to visit in November. Visit the Arch and take a romantic walk around Memorial Park as you look at the changing leaves and watch the Mississippi River roll lazily by below you.
It is a great city to be romantic… or to find romance.

Forest Park, officially opened to the public on June 24, 1876, is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. At 1,293 acres, it is approximately 500 acres larger than Central Park in New York.

Today it attracts more than 12 million visitors a year. It is more than a scenic backdrop to our city. It is an active participant and catalyst in the St. Louis community. Monuments, historic buildings, wildlife, waterways and landscapes combine to form a unique cultural institution that is vitally important to the entire St. Louis region. The park is recognized as an important gathering place where people of all ages, races and economic backgrounds can gather and mix in a positive way.

It is the home to the region’s major cultural institutions—the Zoo, Art Museum, History Museum, Science Center and the Muny Opera. It also serves as a sports center for golf, tennis, baseball, bicycling, boating, fishing, handball, ice skating, roller blading, jogging, rugby and more.

Why is "more bars and more places" AT&T’s slogan?

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 04:19:02 +0000

My family used to have Ntelos, a local cell phone company. Per my suggestion, we switched to AT&T when our old contracts were up. I was under the impression that AT&T would be a good cell phone company. It turns out I was wrong.

When we had Ntelos, I had better cell phone service than what I do with AT&T. Well, one might respond, perhaps if you lived in a more urban area. No no. See, I live in Charleston, WV. AT&T boasts having great service here. When I travel around, in areas where I once had service with Ntelos, I gain and drop service constantly with AT&T.

This has led me to beg the question… how can AT&T lie and claim to have "more bars in more places" when, simply, this tagline was only meant as a joke among the CEOs?

Prove that claim is a lie. Just because their service where you live isn’t the greatest does not mean that they have a weak signal everywhere else.

If warming is happening more in non-urban areas, how can global warming be due to urban heat islands?

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:59:55 +0000

Click the link below and check out the map of the average global warming from 2000-2009. This indicates where the surface stations (some of which have been criticized by that TV weatherman) are reporting the most and the least warming.

http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/news/20100121/10year.gif

Note the patterns of where surface stations report that global warming is more or less strong. It bears absolutely no resemblance to urbanization in the world. Quite the contrary.

Global warming is greatest in places like Alaska, Northern Canada, Northern Russia, and the Antarctic Peninsula. The African deserts. How could that be urban heat?

Least in places like southern China, Florida, or the coasts of Australia, which contain massive urban areas. Just about average along the NE coast of the USA, one of the most urbanized places on Earth.

Urban stations are not showing the most warming, so how could they be distorting the data?
"It’s simple Bob, there are no temperature stations in the areas where the warming is occurring in Alaska, Northern Canada, Northern Russia, they are extrapolated hundreds of miles away from stations that are experiencing UHI."

A. There are no cities even reasonably close. The temperature stations that are used for extrapolation along with the actual stations in the far north, are nowhere near cities.

B. Hadley doesn’t do the extrapolations, and leaves chunks of the Arctic not well covered out. Their results are maybe (maybe not), 0.1 degrees different, not enough to change anything much. Details:

http://tamino.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/you-bet/

Didn’t you know Bob that it’s only the urban glaciers that are melting and the urban stratosphere that’s cooling?

Help with this question please?
