what is this?

I'm happy to tell you, this is the 4th question you've posted on
Google Answers, and it's my 397th official answer. It's also my lucky
day!

Brilliant!

Haha! A good answer that's worth 2 bucks!

AND it's question #333343.

'This'

"As a demonstrative pronoun, this denotes something that is present or
near in place or time, or something just mentioned, or that is just
about to be mentioned."

This was a good one. 

When I see answers like this I tend to believe in Google. I believe it
will make it in a long run because it has people who can think outside
of the box working for it.

This is in the contrast to the fact that many question Google?s
long-term survivability due to lack of transparency in decision
making.

As for me, I would always want more information than less? to make a
more informative decision vs. a blind one.

To the first point, when I see questions like this, I believe the
mankind will live ling.  Questions like this will keep it moving.

Yes, Goncharova, Quite possibly ...

But I would seriously question whether Mankind wants to live ling.

Do any of us really want to become an 'elongated marine food fish of
Greenland and northern Europe; often salted and dried'?

Not for me, thanks!
