Hilarious. I tested it just to see if was real, and it is. I entered my question in the lmgtfy.com site and saw what I was typing appear on the live page.

Interesting how many foreign languages show up. Japanese, Hebrew, German, Dutch, Russian, among others.

I've been watching this for a few minutes, and my favorite query so far is "how do i stop the worldwide problem of spam".

Google used to have this giant screen in their offices that displayed every single search query in real time. I saw it in Palo Alto in 1999. I doubt they still have one on display; I swear that about half the queries were for pr0n.

Adding iodine to salt in the 1920's may have increased the IQ's of some Americans by up to 15 points.

Note: more iodine is needed.

5 of the 6 are intriguing to me. I don't give the slightest fuck about tennis, so I'll skip the Connors one.

Here is yet another fear for the parent of an autistic child. I had never considered this before, but there is apparently a real concern about autistic men getting caught up in online child porn.

I saw that, but there's no guarantee the ball he threw would have been a strike, so it could have worked to his benefit to get a second shot (though I'm sure he was kind of shaken up after the first one -- I would be if that happened regardless of what my score was at the time).

You can't trust anyone these days:

In what Mountain View police are describing as a likely Internet scam, a 22-year-old would-be Romeo was relieved of an envelope containing $2,000. The victim told police that he planned on spreading the money across the bedspread prior to an intimate encounter -- a suggestion, intriguingly, made by the anonymous "woman" he had been corresponding with via the internet, who said such an activity would satiate a longtime desire.

It was left to the victim to provide the money, naturally. But no woman showed up in the wee hours Tuesday at a Mountain View apartment complex near Highway 101. The victim was instead waylaid on the street by a pair of young Hispanic men who held a knife to his throat and jammed an object that may have been a gun into his back.

To cap off the 22-year-old man's tale of woe, he had appropriated the $2,000 from the San Jose-area restaurant where he worked -- and does no longer.

Great concept, but just think of the diseases one could catch by having sex on currency. Isnt' cash the germiest thing around, even worse than toilet seats?
