Ask ChaCha
This weekend I discovered a new service, sponsored by AT&T, called ChaCha. Simply call or text the number with anything you’d like the answer to. Next, you get a text confirming the question. Then, after someone on the other end, has physically looked up the answer (or looked up if they’ve had to answer it before anyway) they text it out to you… FREE OF CHARGE. How fun is that? Obviously, I tested the system with the simple stuff, but realizing the full potential, I quickly moved into deeper waters.
QUESTION: Is Marie Osmond still alive?
ChaCha says: “Yes, Marie Osmond is still alive, and actually she is doing great. She just lost 45lbs doing the Nutri system diet.”
QUESTION: Wait, how does ChaCha make money?
ChaCha says: “ChaCha is a service where human guides answer your questions. Just call or text for free. ChaCha is ad supported.”
How long will this economic downturn last for?
ChaCha says: “There are many opinions, but most experts say the economy will not improve until at least the second half of 2009. ChaCha on!”
Did Molly make it to heaven?
ChaCha says: “Chacha’s crystal balls says ‘it is certain.’”
What is that smell?
ChaCha says: “The is the smell of burning keyboard as the ChaCha Guides work diligently to answer your wonderful and unique questions! ChaCha!”
How can I get people to leave comments in the comments section?
ChaCha says: “Perhaps your content wasn’t fresh and exciting, and people couldn’t find anything of YOU inside it. Controversy will help.”
Fun, right? So what would you ask ChaCha? And how accurate do you find it’s answers?

Me: What is 15,000,005 divided by 5?
ChaCha: 15,000,005 divided by 5 is equel to 3000001. ChaCha!
Me: What is 3000001 divided by 4?
ChaCha: 3000001 divided by 4 equels 750000.25. What other math problems can I help you with? Have a great day! ChaCha again!
Me: (Now knowing the same person is answering my questions) Does it bother you that I might use Chacha to cheat on my math homework, or maybe a test?
ChaCha: No, it does not bother me at all! Ask away!
Me: Are you a terrible person?
ChaCha: I’m a little shy and don’t like to talk about myself. Maybe you have a new question that I can look up for you?
(I’m gonna have fun with ChaCha this week. Thanks!)

ChaCha, why am I at work today?
ChaCha says: “If not you, then who? You’ve made the right decision. ChaCha on!”

I’ve known of this site for quite awhile and hilarity surely ensues.”Do I want a cool ranch or a spicy chicken sandwich today?” “Will it give me heartburn?”"Or should I just get a hamburger instead”?. Anything can be answered by ChaCha. I’ve been kicked off a few times myself for being obstinate. I think I asked about the meaning of life (?). I think that question may have gone on for 15 minutes or so, then the person kicked me off their line, I got back on to another person and asked why their coworker was such an asshole.

For dinner I had the thick crust pizza which was real good! Love the food just need to get used to the portion sizes, which has always been my problem with trying to lose weight. Love the fact that nutrisystem handles the portion sizes.
