Interesting Search of the Day
What is this page all about? Aside from the shear number of sites devoted to silly things, what impresses me most about Google is how fascinating search results sometimes come about from the most innocent of searches. I hope to file some of those Google adventures here on a daily basis. If I miss the occasional day or perhaps a week, please feel free to surf over to the National Enquirer for more quality content :) November 21, 2006
Govemment - The other day I was using MS Word to type in the word Government into a heading... "heading 2" to be specific. By default, MS Word makes the word "Government" look almost identical to "Govemment". Try out this Google search to see how many people learn their spelling from MS Word Heading 2! February 01, 2006
Telegram Service - Did you know you can still send an actual paper telegram? December 30, 2005
Dinner for One (video) - "It's a bit bizarre when you think about it. A short British cabaret sketch from the 1920s has become a German New Year's tradition. Yet, although 'The 90th Birthday or Dinner for One' is a famous cult classic in Germany and several other European countries, it is virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, including Britain, its birthplace." December 29, 2005
Nun Bun (image search) - I was just expecting Mother Theresa -- but there are apperently lots of nun buns! December 22, 2005
Mexican Cat Juggling - What kind of sickos are lirking south of the border... September 07, 2005
World's Ugliest Dog - Prepare yourself! August 24, 2005
Mongolian Cow Sour Yogurt Supergirl Contest - What will those crazy Chinese come up with next? August 11, 2005
North Korean Golf - The Dear Leader is the world's greatest golfer! July 15, 2005
David Bowie - Why David Bowie? His music is cool. 'Nuf said? July 14, 2005
Rachael Ray - I hadn't ever heard of her before today... it seems everyone else has, though. July 11, 2005
Srebrenica - Next time you ponder modern terrorism and mass murder, remember that 8,000 is more than 50. Not that 50 is trivial -- but the long term impact on 20,000 to 30,000 women and children that accompanies 8,000 murders is well worth pondering. July 06, 2005
Celine Dion - I have to admit that I've never knowingly listened to a Celine Dion song -- but she was booed by a bunch of Ontarions. So that's gotta generate some content, right? July 04, 2005
Africa Poverty - With all the "let's make poverty history, etc." stuff in the news lately, I thought I would try it out on Google. June 28, 2005
Toothpaste for Dinner - When you see how many people already know about Toothpaste for Dinner, you'll feel like a schlump. June 27, 2005
Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo - Lots of fascinating discussions. June 24, 2005
British Slang - Apparently this is a hot topic. June 23, 2005
www - Two cool things about this search: the shear number of results (around 2,990,000,000), and the top 10 results: does this indicate the "top" sites on the whole web? June 22, 2005
The - I didn't even know you could search for "the"! There were, "about 3,220,000,000" results. |
