    Yesterday in the subway, there was a man reading a newspaper written with about nothing but chinese characters.

    There was a word written in roman script, though, which I understood.

    The word was GOOGLE...

      I found the meaning of life the other day, but I had write-only access.

    I was bored, browsing AskJeeves (ask.com) to see what people were searching for (you can do that). One person (don't know if they were just stupid or what) was searching for "Where can I find the search engine Google?". I wouldn't trust one search engine to find another, now if they were looking for elgoog, ok, but they weren't. I suppose they could have been in china, but whatever.

    Thanks for linking to Google. Probably nobody reading this would have been able to find it otherwise.
