1. Type "failure" into the Google search box and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.
   You've probably all seen this Googlebomb by now, or some variation of it. It goes away from time to time, and then comes back. As of this evening, it was back. I'm mostly posting it because it led me to an amusing, and telling, observation. If you read the first paragraph of the biography, you may note that it says that GWB was "sworn into office on January 20, 2001" and "re-elected on November 2, 2004". But nowhere in that paragraph, or anywhere in the bio for that matter, does it say that he was elected in 2000. Hmm....


2. Toogle renders some results of Google Image Search into very impressive ASCII art. I could play with this all day. Searching for my username produced a particularly interesting result.


3. Google Will Eat Itself. Search Engine Ouroboros?

First item from E, the other two via Jed.
