Things you never want to have to google

    This was the thought that went through my head when I googled "worm in cat's butt" this morning and I thought it might make a fun thread...

    Second only to "rash down there"...

    Even worse if you Google them at work. ;-) Also, you can have a lot of fun (and waste a lot of time) by typing in just the first word or two of a query and seeing what Google auto-suggests (suggestions based on the highest number of people who search for that topic/question.
    Example: typing in "why do" and letting it auto-suggest phrases, I get "why do men have nipples," "why do dogs eat poop," and "why do cats purr" as top suggestions. Quite fun, and a bit scary sometimes.

    I was doing some work for Microsoft years ago and wanted to look up one of my fave bands XTC...I was on their network. It came back with a bunch of gay porn sites and MS security came to my office to see what I was doing...

    MrJT... even if I use bing I call it googling... saying I "binged" something just sounds dirty. Especially when you use it in a sentence with what you're binging. :-)

  9. Of course there's the old standard of Googling one's own name.

    It's been awhile since I've done it (well, just did it real quick to see the results count; over 34,000) but, off the top of my head, I'm a member of a (rock?) band, involved in some kind of car racing, (think I'm a driver, but not NASCAR, or NHRA, I don't think), and a Priest, or Minister, amongst other things.

    (This was just Googling my first and last names, no middle name/initial)

  10. Mike...I'm a psychologist, a marathon runner who is editor of a magazine on running...and, truthfully, there is another massage therapist with the same name, but different middle initials, just across the sound in Bremerton. And my name isn't exactly common !

  11. Leroniusmonkfish: MS Security probably wanted to know why you were on Google.

    As a follow up to my first google, I should have also googled "how to give a cat a pill." OUCH! Now I have to google "how to clean a cat bite." :-)

    Marg- sorry you had to do this too! I'm sure its actually pretty common. I'm just trying to find all the fun in it. :-)

  13. the towel wrapping trick and coating the pill with Petromalt seemed to work for us. I've also read you can coat the pill with butter or margarine.
    Hope it all 'passes' quickly ;-D
    Whee!
