Strange Google Searches

Most of you are probably familiar
with the Google 'bug' of typing
"miserable failure" into Google.com,
click the "I'm feeling lucky button"
and the White House pops up,
complete with a picture of Bush.
Here is an article explaining how
that happens. Rumor is, that the
folks at The White House are currently
trying to fix that 'glitch'.



Here is another kind of odd search
result which someone sent to me.

Follow Directions exactly:
Go to Google.com
Click on Maps.

From New York, New York.

And even Google has a sense of humor.
They accept public submissions for
funny logos etc...which can be viewed here



And here are some specialized Google search engines
including an upside-down Google world.




That's it for today....

Plug it in

A friend of mine recently sent me a video of a USB device...

it was small Snoopy dog equipped with a USB, when you

plug it into your computer, Snoopy gets 'friendly' with

your computer. I have weird friends. But I have an

even weirder mind, so I got to thinking - I wonder what

other strange USB devices are out there....

Meet the Duck. For only $99 you can have your own

plug in duck, available in 6 different colors.

Or maybe you want your memory stick to

look like a piece of wood. Again, a bargain

at only $99.

Or Sushi...

Or maybe you live in an anti-fur building like

me and cannot have a real pet. This hamster

is for you.

Or, maybe you work in one of those new fangled

no-smoking buildings. This device claims to make

'secret smoking' easier.

This I might buy at Christmas....

Or maybe a fish tank

This is actually quite clever, a USB powered

vacuum cleaner, like a mini dust buster.

Or maybe you want to grab a quick fondue

Wonder what the future brings for these devices.

Maybe there will be plug in clones of ourselves we

can leave at our desk. Now that would be sweet.

Snack Attack

When you've got the munchies....

Here is an neat company in Edmonton.

When you are hit with those late night

munchies and nothing is open, or it is

too scary to go out...just call Snack Attack.

These guys will deliver munchies right to

your door!

Their customers include a variety of

folks from pregnant women to the

"usual buzzed suspects". http://snackattack.ca/site2/

I wonder about the dangers of second

hand smoke...

Prices are not bad either. $2 for a bar,

$2 for chips, $3 for a pop. They are

open till 4:30 in the morning and even

take debit at the door!

Cool and unique business idea, I hope

these guys do well.

I have a friend who is a self admitted

chocoholic, maybe I'd best not send

him this post...

Hoppy Easter

The South American Tinamou known as the Easter Egg Bird
lays multi-colored eggs in blue, green, pink, yellow and purple.

The first Easter baskets were made to look like bird's nests

The traditional act of painting eggs is called Pysanka


The world yearly production for chocolate bunnies is 90 million

When it comes to eating chocolate bunnies, it is the ears

that are preferred to be eaten first by as many as 76%

Each Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps

In 1953, it took 27 hours to create a Marshmallow Peep.

Today it takes six minutes.

Pretzels were originally associated with Easter. The twists of a

pretzel were thought to resemble arms crossed in prayer.

And did you know there are hidden gems, sort

of like secret codes, hidden in your software

and other applications...visit here to see some

Expensive Pizza

When we first came to Alberta and ordered pizza,

we thought "Wow, is pizza expensive here". Costs

about $20-25 for a decent pizza here compared to

$10-15 back home. And I'm yet to find a pizza

place that truly thrills me....so if anyone knows of

any... So awyway, the pizza prices seemed slightly

steep until I met the $1000 pizza. I didn't meet

it exactly (I don't run in those pizza circles) but

I did hear about it. $25 no longer seemed like a lot

for a pizza. So here it is, the $1000 pizza:

http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN1429852020070315

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York restaurateur has cooked up the most world's most extravagant pizza -- a $1,000 pizza topped with six sorts of caviar and fresh lobster.Nino Selimaj, who runs six pizza restaurants in New York, on Wednesday unveiled his Luxury Pizza, a 12 inch (30 cms), thin crust topped with caviar, lobster, creme fraiche and chives. Cut into eight, it works out at $125 a slice."I know this won't be for everyone but there are people in New York who can afford it and once tried, they'll be back for more...

Fish Eggs on a pizza? Not sure about that...

Pair this with Sam Adams beer which averages $100 per bottle

and you have one expensive date. One bottle of Sam Adams

beer once went for $4900:

A college professor paid $4,910 for bottle No. 1 of the new Sam Adams Millennium beer from Boston Beer Co. in a charity auction at Yahoo.com http://www.realbeer.com/news/articles/news-000387.php

Think I'll stick with my Keiths and $25 pizza
