I am not writing on behalf of a search engine. I do not work in any capacity for a search engine. But the other day apparently I had more laptop than brain and I found a site about strangely stupid questions that computer users have consulted online. Computer users wanted answers to these questions. Actually. I have no idea if some of these users were using or mentally ill or sarcastic, but the truth is that there had to be something wrong with them to even think about such questions, no matter if they were looking for their answers.
So I’ve decided to pose as a “Dear Abby” Kind of a columnist except I’ve chosen the name “Dear Brilliant.” Hey, I was never known for my modesty. In the interest of witness protection (and probably my own) I have also invented appropriate names for the authors of said questions. I will write answers to these real questions that have been consulted online. Enjoy.
