    I put in some Microsoft certifications, and the list it generated started off okay, but then it skewed off at a tangent and started waffling about Penguins (Okay - it just said Linux)

    Interesting.... I put in: * Robert the Bruce * William Wallace * Rob Roy * Robert Burns * Adam Smith All historical Scottish figures. When it generated the list it deleted Adam Smith, and added Bonnie Prince Charlie and King Malcolm Canmore, both royalty, so why did it do this. The original list only contained one monarch. If I type in the names of some of the actors on Star Trek The Next Generation it fills in the rest. Interestingly in the list it includes Fionnula Flanagan who I'd never heard of before, but she's played a number of parts in various episodes.

      After some mindless clicking from one of the Star Trek links above I discovered this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317303/[^] Doesn't something strike you as odd about the languages this film is available in?

        I just found this, it looks rather interesting. You enter an example set of data and Google attempts to generate like entries for you. Google Sets[^] Here are the results of entering C#, C++, and Visual Basic as entries: Predicted Items[^] - Nick Parker

        I think it's better post them at The Soapbox... :-O Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

                  It simply tries to create a group or *sets* of data, similar to your input. So for example when I type in apple and orange it will return a list of like items such as strawberry, grape, pear, bananna, cherry, etc. - Nick Parker

                        GEEK ALERT! I was bummed that when I put in 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 it didn't give me back a set of primes :(

                            Probably my sets were just to complicated. I long suspected my association paths are a bit off the beaten path, now Google has the proof :rolleyes:
