Boredom-Fueled Blog » Google http://jacob.efinke.com Registering my obsessiveness throughout the internet, one blog post at a time.

It just so happens that I was bored and Googling randomly today (a lethal combination), and I came up with some suggestions that I thought were pretty funny.

I like this one, because as you read down the line, it seems like Google and eBay have a rivalry, and the Google search engine is getting more and more hostile towards eBay.

At first glance, it would seem that Google hates Jay Leno as much as they hate eBay, but then there is some random thing about Leno being “angry that the unemployed are selling tickets for his free show”… which (although probably illegal) is not a bad idea for making money in this economy.

This next one is kind of weird because it lists four things about Ringo Starr, and none of them are true.

On this last one, Google finally gets something right. Ebay is not “too expensive.” Jay Leno is not “a jerk.” Ringo Starr is definitely not “dead.” But Joaquin Phoenix is definitely “weird,” “insane,” and “nuts,” but I’m not sure if you can actually describe what he does as rapping.
