I’m not finding anything dirty/scary on a lot of these suggests. I notice that over time the porn websites get crowded out by regular sites. Back in the day, googling “homosexuality” used to get you porn sites, “Little Women” gave you child porn. Now proper websites have replaced the dirty ones. ---

> [@AHunter3](#): > > Do not google _casa marzu_ if you have at some point in your life eaten, expect to eat, enjoy eating on occasion, etc. I’ll spare them the shock: it’s a Sardinian cheese that’s allowed to become maggoty before serving. Sardinians are cuckoo all right. A coastal people, they were invaded so often from the sea that they eventually just decided to pretend it wasn’t there. No eating fish, no maritime trade, no nice beach vacations…nothing. ---

So I go to Google and typed in “Pearl + Necklace” and was about to hit Search when it dawned on me that, Ya know this might not end up work safe.

Never attempt to help the kindly grandmother who sits next to you at the office find an “XMen” costume for her grandson by typing in (not Googling) [xmen.com](http://xmen.com) :eek: Thank God the IT guys at the office are reasonable.

I work in a physics teaching lab. One of the little devices we use to demonstarte a certain physical principle was manufactured in the 60’s by the Gay Toy Company. Do not do a google search for “gay toys” from a work computer. ---

Well, I got an extremely overweight naked woman holding a halberd. My contribution: “drilldo.” It’s pretty much what you’d expect, and yet so much worse. ---

Once one of my coworkers was trying to find out how long the gestation period was for pregnant cats. I don’t remember what all my search terms were, but I think they were simply “cat pregnant gestation” or something obvious like that. We got porn. I’m fighting super hard not to google any of the other things I’ve read in this thread. My dinner is resting uneasy just remembering last time I succumbed to temptation and clicked on harlequin baby links. ---

> [@ouryL](#): > > eunuch :eek: Google makes no sense sometimes. The first image I get for eunuch is a picture of… a man with a penis. That’s rather akin to when I googled “D cup breasts” and got a picture of a flat-chested asian girl, only to google “A cup breasts” and get a picture of, well, [Russ Meyer](http://www.nostalgix.org/blog/pictures/vixxen.jpg) Except, well, she wasn’t wearing clothing in the picture I got. ---

**fluffyemu** : Pssst: Russ Meyer is a _guy_. He directed the movie that sill is from ( **Vixen** , IIRC), and a lot of other flicks with unbelievably-boobed women. Look up his entry on the IMDB.
