My apologies if this thread is redundant. I haven’t had much luck with the search feature lately. Has anyone been to [www.google.com](http://www.google.com) today? Interesting. I wonder what they’re looking for, and what they thought was wrong with the old one. ---

What I wanna know it _where_ he was a mod. Sure, the coffee mug is nice and dandy, but where’s my three t-shirts, dammit? ---

Hmm. I have a different link to Google that does not show the Dilbert stuff: [http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=00278907531131499818&sa=](http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=00278907531131499818&sa=) ---

(I must admit that Tuesday’s gag is interesting, in the fact that it’s a bad pun. I guess they wouldn’t allow Adams to make a joke about it being “ogle.”)
