My favorite one to type in:
“Is Lady Gaga”
Let the autofill do the rest for you. It’s hilarious.
I thought “why is it that” is pretty hilarious. It’s all elementary until google busts out the peptide hormones.
My favorite google autocomplete has to be “i like ”
the first result is amazing
I suspect the “How might one…” queries are being done mostly by college students trying to find intelligent-ish sources by saying that. Only people who are trying to sound smart say that phrase. Maybe I’m wrong, what do I know?
The Lady Gaga one was hilarious, Nadav.
I personally hate auto fill. Drives nuts when I mispell something or want a simple search.
“the most popular recent searches at Neatorama” list
Perfect. I <3 them
The sum up neatorama quietly and succinctly, while being hilarious
Now I’m wondering things about Lady Gaga and midgets I never wondered before.
I’m of the opinion that many of those with the “how might one” questions are simply copying the questions straight from their homework into Google.
I hate the google “did you mean” suggestions. The answer is always “no, dammit”
Just saw a new WTF one: Just type “Why won’t” and behold the first suggestion.
This is a funny trick-
1. go to google.com home page http://google.com
2. type “Me in 10 Years”
3. Click the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button
