    (For non-German speakers: I was searching for Polish food - "polnisch essen" in German. Google tried to correct it to "spanisch essen because they apparently hate Poland.)

    I don't have a screen shot but I searched for "potato origin" but when I got to "potato or" the suggested said, "potato or potato" I know it meant poe-tay-toe or poe-tah-toe but no matter how you pronounce it it's spelled the same.

    We actually made up a new game at the office today: The Google Image Search Dare. Basically you dare someone to do an unfiltered image search on a seemingly innocuous term.

    I dared Scott to search on "chocolate volcano." No word yet on the results. I think he pussed out.

    You all do realize that google tailors search results and suggestions based on your previous search and browsing history right?

    On Google Moon, if you zoomed in far enough, the surface used to turn to cheese. I thought that was pretty funny.

    In reply to JG Pasterjak:

    Went in 20 pages. Saw a nipple on page 13. Nothing else.

    Too bad - it sounded promising....

    My girlfriend once saw a groundhog or something in the woods behind our house. She promptly came inside to google image search different animals to try to identify what it was. She must have been pretty focused on animals, because it didn't strike her as a bad idea to do an image search for "beaver". The results certainly took her by surprise.

    haha, i just googled beaver, and actual beavers came up, i was expecting some Not Safe At Work related pictures would appear. I guess im not googling enough bad stuff for it to pop up
