The ninjas versus pirates debate.
18 Nov 2009 | 11:19 amIt’s an age-old question. Seriously, this question has been around for as long as the subjects themselves. Who is more powerful - ninjas or pirates? Now, wait a second, you think you know the answer. You’re probably even pretty sure of yourself. But hold on. There are some very compelling arguments for both sides in the WikiAnswer. I will say this - no matter which is the more powerful, they would each be even more powerful in large groups of their own. Which is why you might want to consider this: That’s all I’m saying. Oh, and today is the last day to apply for a… -

JoyceP: A mother is missed
13 Nov 2009 | 1:00 amYou may remember JoyceP, our 2008 WAmmy Award Winner in two different Best Answer categories. Yes, that JoyceP! She had been writing long before she became a supervisor at WikiAnswers. She endured a troubled childhood marred by the loss of her beloved mother. Even though it’s been many years since her mother died she still thinks about her every single day and still has days when she cries for her. On a particularly bad day, when she missed her terribly, she decided to grab a pad and pencil and began scribbling down her thoughts. Within about ten minutes she had written this…

Spotlight of the Day: Piltdown man
Where did the Piltdown Man get his name? Between 1911 and 1915, researcher Charles Dawson found fragments of a cranium, a tooth and some tools in a gravel deposit in Piltdown, in Sussex, England. The scientific world was agog with the findings — anthropologists believed that the fossilized remains of an ancient hominid had been discovered, a missing link between ape and man. The fossil was called the Piltdown man after the area in which he was found. However, much as the word Edsel has become synonymous with lemon, Piltdown has become synonymous with fraud. It took 40 years for the…
