Varkfarts: because there really are dumb questions

I’m a huge fan of the subjective search site Aardvark. Anyone can ask a question, and Aardvark looks for the best person to answer that question based on their knowledge.

A couple weeks ago, a co-worker of mine sent me a skitch to a funny question she received on Aardvark. I immediately thought, “let’s make this a Tumblr site” and blow it up. Voila: Vark Farts is born.

Some of these questions are just too hard to pass by.

If you want to submit good questions that you’ve received, email them to varkfarts@gmail.com or visit http://varkfarts.com/submit.

Pro tip: Type “try” in your Aardvark IM window to see questions that would be a good fit for you.

  • Very good questions! How about answers to them?

    How much should a husband be paid so that he won't cheat on hsi wife?
  • It's funny how on the vark.com homepage, a fancy graphic featuring a sample question/answer set is shown to demonstrate how the service works.

    Q: What's a great biking path around Golden Gate Park?
    A: My favorite is a secret trail that takes you to the beach.

    What kind of answer is that? Not helpful at all...
