Why Do People Ask Questions Here Instead Of Using A Search Engine?

As I look through the questions posted here about 75% of them could be solved by a simple web search. Why do you think people ask questions here instead? Do most people not understand how to use a search engine? Or do they not really need an instant answer, preferring to read a list of mostly wrong replies over the course of a week until hopefully that one person actually gives them a correct and helpful answer?

    Because the answers here are filled with Humor, Lack of taste and/or Sophistication. We are a community among and alike No Other. We revel in the Sublime, Sub prime, Counter Culture that We are. Once in a while You will get a decent answer but do not look for Truth Justice and the American cut and dried Answers a search engine provides. The more Warped an Answer is the higher rank the answerer receives.

    Well, I guess it’s because you get real answers from people who have had past experience.
