By on • ( 13 )

This repost is part of our Summer Slowdown program of revisiting the blog archives, and was originally published in February 2006.

Post your own favourite in-theme Cheez here, and wait for admin image magic to make it appear.

Google Autocomplete Poetry

Inspired by this FAIL in which Google autocompleted “can you eat” with “can you eat human flesh with wooden teeth”, I decided to start asking Google a few questions, and see what other people were searching for.

I think it makes a kind of poetry – and a kind of comment on the human condition.
