I didn't know Google could do this

So am I. How else are we supposed to know how much gas Grandpa Simpson’s car burns?

Doesn’t know what an erg/s is either.

google tells me that 4 shitloads in rat’s asses = i love bumblebee tuna.

now that’s impressive.

AWESOME!!

You can even use scientific notation:

3 x (10^22) (cubic light years) = 2.54019722 × 10^76 cc
Wow. :eek:

Personally, I have a theory that Google is the real-life incarnation of SKYNET, but it just hasn’t realized it yet.

Thus being, I’m heading for the hills tonight. I may be in hiding and off the boards for quite a while. . . :eek:

Tripler
That is to say, if the SDMB is even left after the war begins.

Here’s something I know Google can do, but I can’t find out how. You give it an URL, and it gives you some of the queries that found that URL

One more (for now).

Complex mathematics.

I use Google for definitions and spell checking.
I didn’t know about the math part. I wish it could’ve taken my TABE test for me today. :frowning:

Google is SKYNET ??
I think it’s more sinister.
Google™ is offering more and more “free” stuff, thereby creating unfair competition for all the other websites. Who knows? Maybe soon there will be a Google SDMB, a Google Movie Database, a Google Urban Legend debunking page, etc. Eventually, all existing websites will be trampled into the sands of cyber-time non-existence leaving only one megalith leviathin colossus - GOOGLE !!!
And what happens when Google is the only website left on the Internet? All that friendly free stuff is going to disappear.
Have you noticed that already Google is charging $2 to answer one question? This is just the beginning.
So folks, have fun while it lasts. Google will show its true face eventually. BWA-HA-HA !!!

Type in a query as normal.

Wow. That was exciting.

Now it’s psychic. That is scary!

That’s what I got. I typed in some lyrics from a Yardbirds’ song and then this came up…

CD, entering ‘microsoft’ returns:

‘chaos and corruption’ returns:

Query: “the capital of Australia.”

Fulfilled, with a capital ‘F’? What does Google know that we don’t? Someone ought to check this Sergio Zyman guy out. :eek:

Adam

Didn’t know the capital of Australia was Canberra, by the way. I thought it was Sydney. :smack:

Pliny the Elder was a dunce did did did did did you see the Lightning. flash, and the thunder and the lightning I ll be the One. I m hoping

Hey this is fun! Had to test out the Microsoft one, then back on the thread, got to read this amusing bit.

Strathclyde Univ is nearby me - I wonder whether they know how Google (or certain naughty students?) feel about them. Tee hee and seasonal ho ho ho.

I’m sure that is very unfair - we all know that chaos and corruption should lead to the city council. :slight_smile:

I think link: is what you’re talking about.

I put the words “Once upon a midnight” into the Google talk. I was suprised to get not the text of The Raven, but a computer programming parody of said poem.

And then there’s this, apparently from the Obsessive-Compulsive division of the U.S. Department of State*:

*Before anyone takes offense, I actually am obsessive-compulsive. It just sounded like the perfect gag to describe the end result. War is a racket. War is a racket. War is a racket.
