There is a saying, "The only dumb question is the one that is never asked."

If that quote is true, then my parents and teachers have some apologizing to do (although I'm sure my being a smart-aleck never helped).

For the questions that we need the answers to, if no one is around that we trust to give us knowledge, we head to the internet. "To The Google!" I've yelled a time or two in my house.

Google is great for answers, but we must practice caution when searching for medical information.
