In some cases, they don't show a "Did you mean...". It happens that search term are just silently chenged to what Google thinks you really mean. I've seen this depend on the context, the other terms you enter for the same search.
On example, for me (using encrypted.google.com, logged in with my account. No idea if that changes anything) if I search for "worf" I get results about Worf the klingon (Wikipedia at #1). But if I search for "keylar worf" (I was trying to find out what the name of that gal was that he boinked on the Holodeck), the terms "keylar" and "word" and "work" are bold in the results but not "worf". Screenshot. There's no notice at all of the change. Combine that with the problem that nowadays you have to add a "+" in front of half your search terms so they won't get ignored, and you get some seriously irritated users.
I think using Facebook from a smartphone is enough to give them your mobile number. At least I don't remember actively entering it. I only noticed that it was on fb, when it suddenly was visible to all my contacts. Removing it completely wasn't that easy either. To hide it from my contacts, setting the privacy options to "visible only to me" was enough, but you can't easily delete it from your profile. I had to enter a fake number.
Now when I looked at Account Settings -> Mobile, there STILL was my real number.
As a consequence I logged out from fb mobile, which I actually found quite usefulfor aggregating current (and voluntarily provided - which my private cell number was not) contact information.
Goddammit, Facebook could be really useful if it had sane privacy politics...here's hoping for a better alternative to emerge soon...
Can't it easily get stuck with those legs?
They look big enough that the colon may get problems moving the spider out. What if a leg pierces the colon?
I'm vaguely remembering some report about a similar device where they had to open up the pig to get it out again.
