      I saw this a few days ago on one of the official google blogs. One of their favorites was 'cheese', and I definitely agree. It produces some great results.

        By what chain of logic did they arrive at "kittens" from my input of "boobs?" :wtf:

            I don't think it's logic, just code probably something like:

            if SearchCriteria = then
            search("Kittens")
            else
            search(SearchCriteria)
            end if

            (Yes it's VB syntax, sue me! :D)

                I tested this out with a plethora of words, and have pretty good evidence that it is correct. They always replace with 'kittens'.

                  Ok, not to be morbid, but typing in "suicide" was hilarious. "Call someone about suicide" - nothing in the box "Plan your suicide event" - I swear to god, it says "Date with suicide" on the schedule.

                    I see that it says "books about nothing", but not "shows about nothing". A shame, that would be the perfect spot to show Seinfeld. ;P And I found a bug. If you type in "nothing" and press ENTER, it works fine. If you click the heart button instead of pressing ENTER, you get an "invalid argument" error. They must not have found that during testing. I suppose it's good to see people becoming more proficient with keyboards. :)

                            The best part is that it you type in "sex party", it automatically replaces the text with "kittens" instead.

                              Apparently it includes some kind of learning mode, too. I just tried "Hooters" twice. The first time it gave me three links, then froze and IE ceased responding. The second time it returned a blank screen. :laugh:
