Questions and answers with TXT

ChaCha.com's TXT service is amazing!

Our 6:00pm news producer Alicia Bumpus introduced me to Cha Cha today. Sounds so silly, but it's one of the best FREE applications for TXT I've seen. All you do is TXT 242 242 with your question, and within 3 minutes you get an answer.  It can be about anything!  I tested it's knowledge today with these three questions:

My Question: What are the primary colors?
ChaCha's Answer: Red, green, and blue are the primary colors.

My Question: How many Facebook accounts are there?
ChaCha's Answer: Several million

My Question: How many episodes of Family Guy are there?
ChaCha's Answer: I'm finding 110 episodes of Family Guy.

Cool! I haven't asked quirky things like "How deep is your love?" or "How do you throw away a trash can?" or what's Klingon for "Where's your bathroom?" but if I get bored, I may.

Have you tried it? Are you trying it now? Have I piqued your interest?

Definitions of primary colors

Those hues that cannot be produced by mixing other hues. Pigment primaries are red, yellow, and blue.

Green is not a primary color.

POB: The answer might come back in 3 minutes but is the correct answer always given? I have had friends try this and it didn't work.

Yeah, it was the tougher questions - maybe those pertaining to THE WINE RACK or the actual value of the Rams (which I still hold at $2,500).

I will think of a very tough issue (dilemma) and test ChaCha over the weekend. POB - really though if you need anything answered just blog me brother!

Cha Cha will at least admit when they don't know. I asked them how many seats there are in Section 328 of Busch Stadium. The reply: "Cha Cha couldn't locate the exact number of seats in that section of Busch Stadium."
At least they respond. I sent the question to the Cardinals more than 24 hours ago and still haven't heard back!

My answers: No. No. Somewhat.

Test the IQ of the Cha-Cha programmers by asking something like at "what wavelength on a spectrophotometer is violet light passing through?"

Or "How many 3 Stooges were there?"

I am probably the only person on here who has never texted a message. Damn good thing since I'm dyslexic with ADD and have potty mouth
