Do you get your browser to save all the little snippets you type into various fields? Things like URLs and search strings. I do. And if you ever manage to get a hold of my laptop and start typing anything into the Google search bar, you’ll be pretty amused with some of the drop-down search suggestions. Heck, I am constantly pretty amused at them, as in “Gee, why on earth was I looking for THAT?” So I decided to conduct a little experiment by typing in each letter of the alphabet, checking out all my Google searches that started with that letter, and picking out the ones with the biggest WTF? factor. I find the results random enough to share them with the rest of the blogosphere. Just the kind of quirky goodness I love to stumble upon on other people’s blogs:
a annual physical useless Someone’s obviously not very excited about going for check-ups…
b bacterial abscess …even when one seems to be very much in order.
c chop them down to size YEAH!
d do squids feel pain A burning question someone just had to ask, right? I was quite surprised to learn, actually, how little is known about pain as experienced by animals, especially when the animals in questions are not mammals.
e ecocab Cool things – check ‘em out.
f five minute miles Not likely… NOT likely. Unless it’s cycling we’re talking about and not running.

h huge bumblebee hovering near my house Terrifying, isn’t it?

y yqa atis Do you ever search for random strings of alphanumeric characters just for fun?…
z No searches staring with z either. I need to get more addicted to search engines
