Experiment
This one is the fault of The Bloggess.
Typed “why” into the Google search engine, got this:
Typed “do”, got this:
Changed “do” to “does”, got this:
Typed “my”, got this:
Typed “husband”, got this:
To be fair, replaced “husband” with “wife”, got this:
Replaced “wife” with “child”, got this:
Try it yourself. You’ll get interesting results with dog, cat, daughter, son, boss, boyfriend, girlfriend, and goldfish. Review. Ponder. Discuss what this says about the most popular reasons to use a search engine. Insert social commentary here.
Okay, one more, just for fun:
Oh, and this one’s for my friends in Canada!
Okay, I’m done now. Swear.

OMG, if I get the time, I need to do a medical one of these for you. Of course, it will totally end up X-rated. ANY body part can get you X-rated results!
These were fun! I love more than anything that the husband and wife both had “fart so much” in the options. My social commentary opinion is that we are all terribly ignorant of our own bodies (in general, not just with the gas) and that we all need to wake up and realize that we need to bond with our friends and family more, especially if we feel our only resource is to ask Google.
That said, the flip side commentary is that we are lucky to live in an age where we have access to credible information so quickly, right there at our fingertips. Unfortunately, there are A LOT of people out there who have no idea how to determine what is credible information and what isn’t.
And now, back to work!
X-rated is welcome! I myself was baffled by “why is there a dead pakistani on my couch”. There’s a story behind that one, I’m betting.
I see “Why do men have nipples” and I think of that episode of “Night Court” where it was discovered that Bull was a genius and he briefly went to work for a think tank.
Bull: “I spend most of my time thinking about the important stuff. [topic 1, topic 2,] why men have nipples…”
Harry: “What have you come up with on that one?”
Bull: “I figure they’re just like the portholes on a ‘57 Buick. Just for decoration.”
I remember that episode! I used to watch Night Court all the time.
I don’t usually use Google, I actually prefer Ask.com, but a few weeks ago, I stumbled onto a fun(ny) way to use Google. It’s called <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/10/12/mystery-google/" Mystery Google. You can read about it from that link. Very interesting, the things that people search, that’s for damn sure!
Now I must go find out why my cat licks me …..
Eek, I screwed up the link, sorry. That should be Mystery Google.
OK “Why doesn’t my parakeet eat my diarrhea”? Thats just wrong, so wrong!!
