From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License.

Impossible! They have zero value. I was shocked! And here I had been keeping them in storage thinking that I was sitting on a gold mine! LOL! The joke was on me! I even took them to the local libraries and schools trying to donate them! No one would take them!!! I hated to through them away, but that was eventually what I had to do. I moved into a much smaller house and just couldn't store worthless items. Answered by StephB - Sat May 31 15:34:05 2008 should we look down on copy and paste answers from encyclopedia definitions of answers? Q. i understand the information gained from links to the encyclopedia, but shouldnt they just be only in the 'sources' box? since the people can just look it up as the questionaire can do the same. i think this site should be a place where you can get the opinion of people under their own thinking. you would be suprised of what people can observe without knowing. by questionnaire i mean the person asking the question. Asked by whtshdw - Sun Sep 9 09:54:07 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. No because some people dont know where to look, most people google it before asking, and if they dont then its because they dont have much time and want different answers to see what most people recommend, I don't think Yahoo! minds either because it makes their site more popular.
