Just read an article about a blog, documenting the weird stuff Google's AutoComplete feature comes up with.

At first, I thought these were all made up...until I tried them out...
Crikey!!!! No doubt you will find yourself bemused at what it throws at you.

Some examples:

I type "I like Jesus
Google suggests "I like Jesus but he loves me so it's awkward"

I type "I like to"
Google suggests "I like to tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it is like to be a dinosaur"

it also suggests, "I like to think of Jesus of a mischievious badger"

This is not an April Fool (even though it is the end of November...) but type what I have into Google and see the results for yourself - the blog is hilarious too!

Am i ever disturbed by it? Not yet, its a sigh of relief actually. To see it work and bring suggested results that match what i look for really does make me grateful.

A couple of google fails:

Racism search...
Racism search...


Many fails - Parakeet and the highlighted...

If I type in 'Why' on google, I get the highlighted one as a suggestion...

It's a bit like an enhanced version of a spellchecker that likes to change my surname to Bison.

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
