There is a text service from a company which claims to be able to answer any question you pose.It normally costs £1 but theyve got a free offer on so I posed the question: WILL STOKE CITY GET PROMOTED TO THE PREMIERSHIP THIS SEASON? After 5 mins I got this text reply: YES AQA BELIEVES STOKE & WATFORD WILL GAIN AUTOMATIC PROMOTION TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE THIS SEASON WITH BRISTOL PROMOTED VIA THE PLAY OFFS Awesome. Have a go here then post your question and answer www.issuebits.com - AQA 63336

Q) Is Tony Pulis The Messiah?
A) Tony Pulis is not the messiah but has been named the championship manager of the month for February. He gave Stoke an unbeaten run..
All true except for the unbeaten bit…..oh, and the fact that he actually IS the messiah…..

My Norwich-supporting housemate works for these buggers as a researcher...
When you text in, a bloke sitting in our front room just Googles whatever you ask it and answers - if its something non-verifiable, they're told to answer in the most imaginative/informative manner possible...
Usually, when there is a Stoke-related question, he just shouts me for the answer and I've got him trained to answer that Stoke will finish in the top two when any Championship Promotion queries come in, which will hopefully annoy any West Brazil fans...!
If you're the mischievous type, one of the best things you can do is use your free question on the website (link provided above) and ask it something about one of your mates (i.e.'why is x such a bummer?') and then enter their phone number in the 'send to' box instead of yours...
Hey presto, your mate/spouse/child will receive an unsolicited text explaining to them why indeed they are such a bummer/paedo/flid or whatever, which, I think you'll agree (if you are as childish as I am) is a right pisser!

Brilliant danceswithclams. I've just done it to some of my mates. You can keep doing it loads of times if you use different numbers!
" What causes my mates man boobs" and "is it safe to sleep with goats" were too of the questions. Shame i can see the answers!! ;D

1. No the tricast hasn't come in.
2. There was no tricast betting available on the race.
3. Nice winner though.

I asked the question "Wheres Wally?"
The answer was: "Wally is in the 'Where's Wally' books. To find him, work slowly, and look for his red and white bobble hat. Wally is known as Waldo in the United States."

Just asked what the winning lottery numbers are going to be for this Saturday.
They replied with:- If AQA could predict tomorrow's lottery numbers the service would cost rather more than £1. Having said that, try 5, 11, 15, 19, 20 and 41. Good luck
