Premature answer checking

Looking in the back of one's textbook to "check" homework answers before actually attempting the problem.
Wow, we have a lot of math homework. I will be doing a lot of premature answer checking tonight.

George Costanza Answering Machine

A George Costanza Answering Machine is when you record a ridiculous greeting people hear when they call your answering machine. It comes from an episode of "Seinfeld" where George's greeting is himself singing a song off key to avoid talking to his girlfriend.

Yahoo Answers

Yahoo's relatively new website for asking and answering questions about whatever you like, within some limitations.

This site is actually kind of addictive if you get into it. You have to be careful to distinguish between good and bad answers though, for example by googling or looking at the answerers ratings.

This website has grown a lot since it first started. There are hundreds of subsections, everything from Lebanon to Horoscopes(I still don't get why people are into that stuff), to Computers and Polls.
Sometimes on Yahoo Answers you see really provocative and interesting questions, but you also sometimes see some really boring or childish questions sometimes too. But overall it's an interesting site and you can also search through the millions of already-asked questions.
