Before we begin, here's a little background. www.chacha.com is a search engine in a similar vein to Google, except that ChaCha offers you the opportunity to search with a guide if you need a little help searching. You are then connected to a live guide who will go to a lot of effort (fire up google, copy, paste, etc.) to help you find some useful results. The guides on ChaCha are often paid, and do this to earn some extra money on the side, so I thought I'd try and make some of their jobs a little more exciting:
Topic: Asparagus
Status: Looking for a guide ...
Status: Connected to guide: LillianV
LillianV: Welcome to ChaCha!
LillianV: Hi there. I will be helping with your search.
You: Hello Lillian, my that's a pretty name
LillianV: Thank you
LillianV: What would you like to know about asparagus?
You: I'm looking for asparagus, can you help me Lillian?
LillianV: Do you want a recipe?
You: I would like to know what the optimum temperature is for storing asparagus and growing asparagus and eating asparagus
LillianV: Sure, hold on please
You: OK, in the meantime, can I ask a question Lillian?
You: Is the V in your name a roman numeral? Making you the fifth Lillian in a long line of royal Lillians?
You: Wow, this is a long search, is asparagus hard to get hold of in these modern times?
You: Lillian, you're not dead are you?
You: Hello?
You: Oh Gods!
Something was wrong, Lillian V had stopped responding. I feared the worst, so I figured I must go and raise the alarm:
