Who is Ray William Johnson?

WHO THE HELL IS RAY WILLIAM JOHNSON, WHAT SO IMPORTANT DID HE DO THAT EVERY ONE HAS TO KNOW HIM?! I SUPPOSE HE IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN H.C. ANDERSEN (my questions Which of these Fairy Tales is NOT written by H.C.Andersen? was validated as "bad, ambiguous") or Selma Lagerlof, recipient of the 1909 Nobel Prize for Literature (validated as "that could only understand a certain group of people")

Before going into the music business, Frank Zappa was?
a custodial engineer.
a greeting-card designer.
a fast food server.
a window washer.


Zappa left home in 1959, and moved into a small apartment in Echo Park, Los Angeles. After meeting Kathryn J. "Kay" Sherman during his short stay at Pomona College, they moved in together in Ontario, and were married December 28, 1960.[25] Zappa worked for a short period in advertising. His sojourn in the commercial world was brief, but gave him valuable insights into how it works.[26] Throughout his career, he took a keen interest in the visual presentation of his work, designing some of his album covers and directing his own films and videos.

At worst, the answers are wrong. At best, the question is ambiguous (as I'm sure he had several jobs before music). Either way, it never should have been approved.

John, I like you, so I'm only giving you a lower-case - fail!


LOL. Guilty. I didn't read the google results closely enough to distinguish Jude from Judas. I think what we've proven here is they needed more variety in their names back then.

P.S. Go Blackhawks!

Okl, I'm all for a bit of flexibility when it comes to English Second Language... But...

Which country won the most gold medal in 2008 on the olimpic games?

This is why Mods NEED the ability to edit/correct questions for clarity and spelling.

I wrote a question about how much Olympic medals did Carl Lewis get. Here's what i got:

According to evaluators the answer is an uninteresting lexical knowledge

So could you tell what is "an interesting lexical knowledge"? Why Michael Phelps is interesting and Carl Lewis, very famous American athlete, is not? What about a question that asked me of a main villain in Harry Potter series? Is this "an interesting lexical knowledge"? I think not.

And what you're gonna do with my post about saxophone as a woodwind instrument? No one answered.

What type of cell is responsible for blood clotting?

Neither of them are wholly responsible however when damage occurs platelet activation takes place which forms a 'knitted area'. This area traps the red blood cells causing a blockage. If infection occurs, white blood cells will then fight through the form of endocytosis by engulfing the diseased cells.

How many times minimum do most people eat meals per day?
1
3
5
10

This question is at least silly! All over the world, there are much more people who can not afford even one meal per day than those who eat 3 times per day. There is no such a rule or law and the answer that most people eat 3 times per day is unacceptable, silly , wrong and misleading.

Well, there is a correct answer - it's just not listed. Zero. The minimum number of meals that people eat in a day is obviously zero!

Sure, but it's not the writers job not to be insane; it's the moderators job not to let insane people wreck our game.

Unfortunately it's the moderators who are evidently insane.
