i can think of maybe 2 or 3 searches ever that have yielded no results or not exactly what i'm looking for on google. that is pretty amazing considering how often i search using google.

Always find what I'm looking for on the first page.

you have a better chance of getting worthwhile information from a deaf, dumb, blind and 90% braindead siberian goatfarmer, than from google these days.

which probably explains why some people post so much trivial sh1t around here.

So keep on living And don`t start giving The devil good reasons To get you in the seasons of heartbreak Baby are you tough enough?

If I ran this place, I'd link the new post image right to Google.


Back on topic, the only thing I couldn't find on Google was an image of the Costanza OO Yankee jersey.

I haven't been able to find any good information from Google about the effects that mojibake (when Japanese email or webpage text turns into gibberish) has had on Japanese businesses or the spread of computers in general in Japan. (I'm doing a project about this stuff for a class I'm taking.)

But I don't often have this problem.
