Do you know about Cha Cha? Yes, Cha Cha. It's a ridiculous name, but a brilliant web and text service. Enter your question on the web, or send a text from your cell phone to "chacha" (242242) and within a minute or two, presto — you have the answer. It's free of charge.
Keep in mind that the answers may not be correct and/or defendable. It all depends on how you ask your question. Is it factual or opinion? If you text Cha Cha the following message "Who played 'Uncle Owen' in Star Wars," you'll very quickly get the reply "Phil Brown."
If you ask "What's more reliable: a belt-driven or shaft-driven motorcycle drivetrain," you'll get an answer which is ambiguous and, well, worth the money you paid for it: "Shafts are less prone to break, but belt driven had better durability and replicability."
Hmmm. Clearly the cubicle drones (and at-home workers) for Cha Cha are instructed to answer quickly and not accurately. I understand the business model. For the record, shaft drives are proven to be over 372% more durable than belts, and replaceable in less than half the time than a belt. *cough* But then again, I'm biased because Val is a shaft-drive bike.
Okay ... I'm wrapping up this post. Put "chacha" (242242) into your cell phone's address book. When the gauntlet has been thrown down onto your local pub's bar, excuse yourself for a bathroom break to "think about it," ask Cha Cha while facing the urinal, then swagger back to your competitor with confidence.
