This was a neat idea. I live in Kansas and I’m rolling my eyes about all of the idiots complaining about the Chiefs…but I think that it’s funny that what Kansas is “famous” for isn’t even in our state. Just goes to show that there’s not much good about Kansas.

I got “Alaska Senate Race” as my first for Alaska, but I think that happened since I actually did a search on “Alaska Senate Race” a couple of weeks ago. The one underneath was “Alaska Airlines”.
Wow there are a lot of people in the Midwest in a tizzy. Chill out, it was a snapshot of searches used for an interesting visual. I’m sure if the Longhorns weren’t horrendous this year and the Rangers hadn’t gone as far as they did it would have shown differently for Texas.

Does it really matter if you are getting a different search suggestion from where you sit? I’m pretty sure the autocomplete feature on Google changes depending on what other people are searching for that day or hour, and (as others have mentioned) whether you have location-based searching turned on or not. It’s just supposed to be for fun! And to make you think about what a lot of other people are using Google to find.

I think I enjoyed the fact that people found something like this on the web – didn’t read the point or purpose of it, and decided to correct the person doing it as if it was some important document.
“Wrong! Furnature is not from North Carolina!” “Why would you put New Mexico State University – everyone knows that the most important thing in New Mexico is Truth or Consequences!” Please don’t tell these people why this is proof of their stupidity – just please let people continue so I can laugh at them.

The Oregon Trail Card is used for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food Stamps). With unemployment hovering between 10 and 12% over the last couple of years, it’s sad but not surprising that Oregon Trail came up.
This is a cool idea. But “Washington Post” is a mistake. The name of the state is Washington State. From that, the next word I get is “ferries.”

I just did rhode island with a space on the end and I get this list in this order:
“rhode island college”
“rhode island dmv”
“rhode island hospital”
“rhode island election results”
“rhode island department of education”
“rhode island lottery”
“rhode island secretary of state”
“rhode island news”
“rhode island weather”
But I am IN Rhode Island. Creepy Google knows this and must know that very few Rhode Islanders get to go to the the exclusive school of design here (RISD). It’s really, REALLY expensive and has a bit of contempt for what it considers “dumb” townies (like most elite schools).
When I attempt this search from another location via a proxy service (tor) I do indeed get “rhode island school of design.” What is not listed, but perhaps telling is the second link… which is “rhode island novelty”

I love it.
One thing though. I am from Washington and have lived my whole life having to tell people I live in Washington State to differentiate from Washington D.C. Most news papers and programs say “Today in Washington” meaning D.C. and say “Today in the State of Washington” or “Today in Washington State”.
So based on that the results for Washington State is Washington State University and for Washington D.C. Washington D.C. Metro

if these are regional then the artist must live near me (Brooklyn, NY). I got almost every one the same except: Maine Coon (vacations second, i’ve searched maine coon before), California Election Results (prop 19 is after pizza kitchen). So if these results are skewed to NY that explains nevada smiths. All you people talking about how it’s regional- make your own maps so we can compare them… that would be cool.
the people talking about KCK/KCMO aren’t stupid, they’re responding to the thing about washington. But if they go to the power and light district they’re supporting a racist establishment.

I hate myself. I had a dream last night about Carter and the Rabbit. I was only 15 at the time and refused to go swimming that summer. If you want a gut busting but true version visit Cecil at Straight Dope:
Pre School = games
Kindergarten = worksheets
First grade–seventh grade = Math
Eighth grade = bites
Ninth grade = slays
Tenth grade = bleeds
Eleventh grade = burns
Twelfth grade = kills
3:21 PM 12/10/2010
So I guess we learn to socialize in Pre School then start writing things down in kindergarten. Then our whole world is nothing but math from first grade through seventh. Once we enter eighth grade teenaged angst sets in and we write novels about the horrors of junior high and high school. So we enter the educational system playing games and end writing novels about killing. And then I remembered this:
Monday = night football
Tuesday = morning
Wednesday = night TV
Thursday = night football
Friday = night lights (NBC TV show about football)
Saturday = night live
Sunday = night football

I was curious if you ever considered changing the page
layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
