The Search Engine Belt Buckle
ptorrone writes "Engadget shows how they made "The Search Engine Belt Buckle" a PDA-based device which shows 24 hours of all the bizarre and banal things people are looking for on the web. Art project or pointless hack? That's for you to decide, people are searching for some pretty freaky stuff out there, so why not put in a belt buckle and get on the scene like a sex machine?"
Oh, it looks cool all right. I want people to stop me on the street and ask about it.
"Excuse me, sir, but why does your belt say 'night diaper bondage'?"
Sigs cause cancer.
Maybe we can use that device to come up with an award, "most screwed up search engine query." Vampire shemale beastiality bondage?
is that the goatscx guy on your belt buckle or are you just happy to see me.
boy, this must work well with the girls!
"hey baby, check out my new search engine belt buckle"
I had to GIS it. You'll be happy there are no results. However I do have a sudden desire to start a website called "diaperse".

Is that a Google search on your belt or are you just happy to see me?
A belt buckle is a tombstone for a dead dick.
Choosing the lesser of two evils is a choice for evil.
I guess if you have no other reason to get women to stare at you crotch, this will work.
It's almost as cool as The Legendary Nintendo NES Controller Belt Buckle.
The long rumored, much talked about, infamous Nintendo NES Controller Belt Buckle. This belt buckle, once brushed off as merely a myth in the gaming world, is now available to grace your pants.
*I* say that the next person who submits a story with any sort of intentional rhyming should be drawn, quartered, and then slashdotted. And yes, I know what all of those things are.
.. at just how pointless this is.
Fine, they're thinking "outside the box" but all they've done is duct tape a pda to a belt. Scroll some video across it and all of a sudden it's a "hack"?
I should submit a story about the day I broke the power button on my PC and replaced it, that was a hella wicked hack!
Art project or pointless hack?
There's a difference?
Besides displaying search engine queries, this belt buckle also emits powerful female repellent rays. I doubt a girl would even get close enough to say "jesus christ that's the ugliest, geekiest thing I've ever seen."

Come on people, it's Funny. And Insightful. But the device is a bit to expensive for someone who can't even get laid by picking up a girl at a bar using a fake Rolex.
Whoa, I just had a vision of some dude scrolling through text near his crotch in WordPad by hand with his stylus, standing in a club... and I really didn't like.
If you never make mistakes, it's probably because you're not doing anything.
Batman: Quick! Robin! The...batoogle...search..belt....
Robin: Wha?
Batman: Never mind.
"olympic nude athletes"
"leaving the scene of an accident"
"night diaper bondage"
"food"
"used juicer"
"catfighting lesbians"
"disorder cutting self injury"
It may only be a coincidence but I think someone's been watching what I google. Oh wait, they have "food" listed. Phew I was scared for a minute there.
While scanning over the stats for my website last month, I came across the absolute funniest search query I've ever seen:
"i want a free and easy fucking simple image viewing program god"
How could I say to men: "Speak louder, shout! For I am deaf!"? -Ludwig van Beethoven
I've seen at least ten searches entitled "die slashdotters"
In soviet russia, You ask not what country do for you, but what you do for country!
Oh wait...
Great, now I feel compelled to visit google every few minutes and search for "The person wearing this belt is a sexual pervert".
When the results start showing trolls such as "die slashdotters"
Male virgin geeks like, um, a friend of mine.
I don't need a signature.
As an added bonus you can sing it to the tune of Supercalifragilistic etc.
Not that I'd go so far as to recommend doing so. (or imagining Julie Andrews doing so)
Ok, who is the guy that keeps searching for "die slashdotters"?
omfg, stop searching for "eaten alive"+video+clips !!
(from someone who still shudders at the memory)
"Google Enterprise Sales, how can we help you?" ..."
"Hi I'd like to have a subscription on the search queries made by Bill Gates on google.."
"Ohh good choice Sir, this one is most popular, please hold
I just went on the link you suggested, the first thing I saw was:
# multiple perssonality disoder
# multiple personality disorder
So one of them can spell and one can't?
