Thanks to an e-mail from Amazon with the subject line: "New Amazon Startup: Askville.com," I might soon find out what song those fatalist musicians play during a montage in the movie, Titanic, as the ship sinks. It's probably "Amazing Grace" or something simple. I honestly can't remember.

On new site Askville, I've posted my question and now must wait for five people to respond. Looks like there are already hundreds of other questions asked and answered. Here's a sampling of questions to help demonstrate what you'll find there:

"How do you throw a screwball?"

"How do I get my one year old to nap?"

"Is Anderson Cooper gay?"

"If you were Bill Parcells, would you invest in a bra?"

I can see how this site could eat up a lot of time.
