Just Google It
They should make t-shirts that say that because I would totally buy one.
What was life like B.G.? I read this TIME article that said ten years ago, Facebook didn’t exist and ten years before that, we didn’t have the Web. That means I was four years old and my parents couldn’t Google instructions on how to raise me. What the hell did they do?! Don’t know about you, but when I start poppin’ out rugrats, I’m going to be Googling “how-to’s” all day. Like “how to clean a poopy diaper without looking at the poop and without getting any poop on your bare skin.”
I would pay money–approximately 12 dollars–to see a list of the things people Google. There’s probably a person at Google Inc. who gets to analyze all the terms/words/phrases/questions/full sentences/names that people search. And I bet that person laughs alllllll day. People Google some weird stuff. Heck, I Google some weird stuff. Let’s see, just these past couple days I’ve Googled: myself (not so weird, you’ve all done it), ”water chestnuts” and “fake glasses.”
So I just Googled “What do people Google?” The results were not as exciting as I thought they were going to be, although “virgin” was at the top of one list. That’s pretty exciting. And disturbing.
Good gracious, one site said that at one time the top search in the Netherlands was “Sponge Bob.” I’m very thankful I didn’t live there during that time because I don’t want to be associated with that annoying poriferan. Sponge Bob is pretty much animated proof that sponges should never be able to talk.
Anyways, now I just came across an “Internet for Beginners” article and the frequently asked question is: “What do other people search for on the Net?” I know I just did this, but in the context of ‘Internet for Beginners’ this is hilarious. Apparently people cannot think of one single thing to search for. Well, in that case, I have a couple suggestions:
1) a brain
2) a head
Be careful on the last one though, my little beginning Googlites. You might get some pretty exciting (and disturbing) results.
