just ask jeeves . . .

Posted in words at 6:51 pm by electricvishnu

so today i go to ask.com – they ditched the british butler guy, or rather,
he left and got paid and is back on askjeeves.com all fancy schmancy and mr. charcoal gray business suit and such [who knew?]

this is certainly not my searcher of choice as i was rather insulted back in the day with the whole “just ask jeeves a question and you’ll find everything you ever wanted to know out” schtick, but the seven letter input into my address bar brought me there.

i start typing in “when . . .” because the question was asked in my office of when, exactly, mr jeeves [or was jeeves his first name?] and ask went their separate ways.

below are the 8 search suggestions that followed “when” [try it at home kids!]:

  • when will the world end
  • when does twilight come out on dvd
  • when will i get my stimulus check
  • when is the best time to get pregnant
  • when is the world going to end
  • when is my due date
  • when do women ovulate
  • when do i ovulate

“why” gives us:

  • why is a four leaf clover lucky
  • why is the sky blue
  • why do men cheat
  • why do dogs eat grass
  • why are gas prices so high
  • why is my computer so slow
  • why did chris brown beat up rihanna
  • why am i so tired

. . . america! fuck yeah?
