Is Neil Diamond Jewish? How much does the FDIC actually insure you for? What was the name of the lead singer of the Bangles? Does a bear really, um, poop in the woods? Ok, maybe the last question doesn’t require any research or validation, but let’s face it, in today’s fast paced world, there are times when you have questions and you need answers. Let’s say, for example, you’re at a very important business dinner. Somehow the conversation gets to the topic of politics. Dreadful, I know. How old are the two candidates that are running for president this year? Well you could guess, estimate, argue about it, or you could….ChaCha! No, I don’t mean dance!
