I was looking for how long it takes to defrost a goose, got to this site and found an answer surrounded by clickbait with no actual figures, just “it depends how big” – obviously, but how? A WOT rating of 4.6 and gushing reviews suggest that WOT does not work!

Отличный сайт, можно почитать на досуге и узнать много полезного.

A site chock-full of stupid clickbait articles, advertising, and advertorials. While not criminal or dangerous, it's a site for stupid users who are so dumb, they even like pop-ups of stupid kittens with some bullshit text about how they are good luck somewhere, and bad luck somewhere else. Morons.

site had a pop-up of a black with comment about it being unlucky in US & lucky in Japan.

Some very interesting stuff here,

Copious amounts of misinformation in all types of articles, from things as simple as an incorrect name, date, or place, or more elaborate and or serious false statements (ones that would have your teacher laugh in pity, or question if they taught you anything, if for example you use it for reports without verifying with numerous other sources) You'll have better luck with Wikipedia where there are typically more checkpoints to go through when posting info than the,"I am a blogger, and what I say is truth" that WiseGeek employs.

annoying popups, i really don't care if it isn't an add if i wanted to know about it i would search for it and throwing it up in my face in an effort to make me read it is still just going to annoy me

safe site with smart information

The last 3 times I went to wisegeek.com, full-screen pop-up ads appeared that blocked everything else. Checked registry cleaner software--- each time, "issues" were found that required removal. I don't trust wisegeek any more.

Good answers to interesting questions.

The site is generally very useful, but some of the articles contain inaccurate information, so be careful & stick to more credible sources if you're writing essays for college or something.
