slapdash turned systematic: the awesomeness of google pt I

as it's late..and was feeling extremely lazy, i was only going to post a tiny thing as i have admitted before i feel truly dedicated to this stupid virtual space that is literally nothing more than 0 and 1's... but it is sort of like a special memory box. or..never ending closet that i can fit whatever i so desire in!and, one of those things, would be, if not ian astburry himself, this photo of him. *drool*but as i was googling for this image i happened upon a cool button that may or may not have been in existence for a long time already. but it is the "photos SIMILAR" button.

when you search for a picture, under some pictures there is a link that when pressed will link to other photos that have been deemed "SIMILAR" or linked in some way by google.
imagine my surprise when i clicked that button (hoping to find a larger resolution photo so i could look at ian in all his furry hat wearing glory, at a much more appropriate size!!!)but unrelenting good ol bobby's was pretty much all i got but i particularly enjoyed this "SIMILAR IMAGE"...but i love google. and aside from being the best search engine for interesting and entertaining things, the search engine itself is a constant source of amusement!

i inserted the word tomatos.. and clicked similar links until i some how ended up in a wheel of teenage mutant ninja turtle.. perhaps it really is no more systematic as it is slapdash. i guess thats up to you to decide.

here is another example of the endless amusement google has to offer.

type in any general word and verb into the search engine and watch what top searched items in canada pop up in the automatic menu box!!!!sorry for being horrible but the results are simply ridiculous! is anyone as easily as amused as i am...

and thus concludes segment one of google's sheer awesomeness.
