Is life really empty and meaningless because we’re bored? The further we go back into the “good old days” the more of our precious empty free time was taken up with _trying to stay alive_. ---

> [@otorophile](#): > > type in “is there” > 1st result: is there a god. A fair enough question. > > 2nd result: is there anyway i can get this popular guy to get me pregnant. :eek: This, and many of the other “eek” queries, comes up because a lot of places on the web are linking to, and making fun of, the single original question (on Yahoo Answers, in this case), not because a lot of people want the answer to these burning questions. ---

> [@pbbth](#): > > Want something even weirder? Go to google and type in “I am” and take a look at the first two things listed. > > The first is “I am bored” and the second is “I am extremely terrified of chinese people” Yes, but G doesn’t list them in order of most results. The first listed has 11.9m results, and the odd second one has just 220,000 results, compared to the top result “i am second” at 353m results, followed by “i am sam” with 56m. If 220,000 still seems like a lot of unnecessarily terrified people, consider that I typed in my own name, possessed by just three people on the planet AFAIK, and got 658,000 results.
