Google Machine Friday (part duex)

Today I continue my adventures on the internet by searching the depths of knowledge, henceforth unknown to all but the crazy assholes who have pioneered the internet (speaking of which, do you think Al Gore is any good at Oregon Trial?).  That's right, once again, it's Google Machine Friday!  Here's what I found, what I didn't find, and a few inappropriate things I picked up along the way.  And yes, I Googled murder, and it hasn't changed since the last time I Googled it (Google should probs just sponsor me right?).  These are just a few tidbits from my thorough inquisition of the Google:

  • I begin my searching with the deepest philosophical question I can think of... "What happens if there is no Google".  The returns included a few articles about the alternatives to Google and what the internet would be like, but the Google Answers result caught my eye with "what happens if the moon explodes?"  Wait, the moons going to explode?  I thought James Bond foiled that plot in the 70's.  Anyways, completely irrelevant, but thanks Google, that's some valuable information I needed to know.
  • On my trip foraging through Google, I took some suggestions from friends, which led me to Zoo Tycoon, a popular computer game where you build a zoo.  But Google did not stop there, they provided cheats to Zoo Tycoon.  Well if you're too impatient or just a straight up baller, I can hook you up with magic fences or unlock a Triceratops! 
  • In my attempt to become a gypsy, Google found me a website that teaches you how to read palms!  So if you want me to know about your love life, energy, general hygiene, if in fact you have a broken fingers, or your fate, I WILL KNOW if you show me your hands!
  • I want this!
  • Google auto ask feature is dangerous, dangerous tool.  They will tell you what all the other crazy people are trying to find out, and some of them are up to noooo good
  • I am running a 5 mile race at Harpoon on Sunday, so I asked Google how to run 5 miles.  Google's response:

Valid question...



  • Google suggestion #2- Richard Jenkins.  Apparently Laura works with his son, but Richard Jenkins is an actor who, played Dr. Doback in the best movie ever, Step Brothers.  I found his Google search results to be rather bland so here's a blurb that can spice up his results:  His portrayal of a fed-up doctor and father was riveting and masterful, and left me in awe after proclaiming "rumpus time is over" and his description of his ambitions to be a dinosaur (how is that even a skill?) left me in tears. I was disgusted to learn he wasn't even nominated for an oscar, which I will write my congressman/woman about.  Richard Jenkins, a true American, indeed.
  • And of course, I asked Google what bears were up to in the news... This Week in Bear News: A 400 pound bear in California was harassed by police while going through a woman's trash before lumbering off into the hillside. This was the second time the bear had sifted through the garbage, and the woman suspected the bear wanted the chicken, rice, and pastries that she had thrown out, this coming weeks after another California bear was caught eating meatballs outside of a Costco.  2 things: 1.) If you don't want to feed bears, don't put out a delicious spread of meat and pastries, bears don't care if its "trash", and 2.) people who don't have bear problems = members of the clean plate club & vegans!
  • If you have any suggestions for my next Google adventure, please send your suggestions to www.noonegivesadamn.org (jk, you can actually suggest things to me, for realzies)

In the next couple weeks, I hope to get a couple guest bloggers on here soon, two in particular being Doctor Love and Royer, the Olympic Correspondent.
