As a follow-up to today’s earlier post, I find myself wondering — what wacky keyword search you are willing to cop to in public?
One of mine recently was “images tank girl.” If you know the Tank Girl comics, it makes more sense maybe, but then you need the additional information that I was looking for go-go costume ideas.
And just this morning, preparing the earlier post, I searched for “old people sex” to find the article that I remembered reading. Hmm, I thought, if I get zapped by a random lightning bolt right this instant, they’ll find me here smokin’ in front of a sex search — what a legacy.
Okay, that’s two of mine. Who’s ready to step up and share? (Encouraging smile from the management…)
Mine is Aphra Behn, a very early English writer. Not much is known about her, so the imagination of the admirer is left free play. I just love her name. And how many early English women writers were there about whom we know absolutely nothing?
Aphra Behn was, I think, a spy as well as a playwright…
My latest search word: Gipswic. The results were very unsatisfying. Tuh.
“Kerouac dirty asshole”
(I was looking for a poem, I swear.)
‘human evolution is accelerating’
’emoticons’
“spoon in a bottle of champagne”.
Ok, I was curious, and it seems I’m not the only one – many tests have been done. Leaving the bottle open and untreated worked better than hanging a spoon inside, but results are not conclusive. Stanford researchers report that testing was complicated by, “the state of the observers by the time a glass of champagne had been sipped – in some cases more than sipped – from each of 10 bottles. As research scientists, several members of the team noticed what Zare called “fatigue of the instrumentation.” It doesn’t look good for the spoon technique, but researchers also report that, “As usual, more research is needed.”
