Australian Google Questions

So you know how when you type into google and it suggests the most popular words (that come after the words you've typed) Like when you type 'when does' and it gives you 3 possible things that have been looked up so often that you might be wanting to look them up too. Know that?

Well, this person on Youtube (RoyStClair) Made a video about these questions, but then I thought. He doesn't live in Australia. He probably didn't use australian google. So here are a few things that australians apparently needed a search engine to know:

And for the record I only typed in like, two words - but every time I highlighted an option the whole sentence filled out my search bar (and it looks like I typed in the whole question) I assure you I did not!

"What if a ginger kid bites me?" Indeed, the 'kid', by adulthood the ginger is no longer contagious.....

"Why does my cat lick me?" - WHY ARE YOU LETTING YOUR CAT LICK YOU? Spray it with water or something!

I just picked this one because it show how clever we are (and that we can read paper instruction manuals!)

Who indeed....

I don't know, most people just wing it. Practice is unnecessary 

Hell yes! he can (as many on wikianswer would vouch)

Well, so long as vampires don't start existing, then no.

It would seem that just the small minority can't be stuffed with the census....


Movie-Dumbledore's explanation = Fail,  the nose is a mystery far greater than mankind itself...



Ok, so I haven't posted in a while (I have plenty to post about) but I am back at school (working hard, although I just put off Biology Homework in favor of youtube), so I'll see you later. With a better post, and every time I promise I'll post soon and in quick succession I come through, so yeah

The Yahoo! vs Google thing.

You know, I never really concerned myself with the whole "Yahoo! Vs Google" thing. That was until google rejected me because (Can't be bothered explaining so I shall use an extremely long tale instead)

Here, I'll tell you a story.

Once there were two little not-friends. Their names were Google and Yahoo!

Now, Google was born first and quickly got used to a life in the spotlight, outshining all the other search engines.  Then along came yahoo! with its colourful layout, over-joyful and jazzy font. Yahoo offered mail, news and a whole lot more.

Because of googles age it still maintained popularity, especially as there were people who needed immediate answers (and yahoo isn't exactly a search engine)

Then in 2009 I got a yahoo mail account. Because it was simple easy and I didn't want 'hotmail'

Then about a few weeks ago I used google to ask 'whats the best tracking system to check for hits on your website/s?' and google, loving itself and being 'completely modest' positions itself all over the first page.

So I clicked it. Turns out I needed a GOOGLE account to sign up for the free software. I felt discriminated against. It was cold. I was shut down. it went something like this:
I happily skipped over to the 'sign up for our free software desk' with 'I have yahoo email practically plastered to my forehead. Trust me google knew - see:
So anyway, my imaginary google desk clerk was like:

I was crushed. I bet that desk clerks office looks something like this:

So yes. I still don't have that software. All you stalkers can keep on stalking (pfft.. like I have stalkers! No randoms even read this blog!)

Good Bye. (Aren't I awesome! I totally just posted two nights in a row!)
