It is lovely Google’s birthday today and its logo has a little cake with little candles on it. And why not indeed? It’s not as if Google is going to get bad teeth or fat is it? It is a search engine, not a person. I don’t do anthropomorphism, it is stupid.
That’s a bit mean isn’t it? Giving it a drawing of a cake instead of a real one. I feel sorry for Google. If I was Google I’d go into a cob and whenever anyone tried to do a search today I’d say, “find it yourself”. But Google is probably much nicer than I am.
Gosh, I wonder if my boyfriend thinks Google is nicer than I am too? He is always asking me to help him find things and I just ask where he left them. This is the number one most annoying thing someone can say when you’re looking for something. Google never says that, it just finds stuff straight away. He probably likes that.
On the other hand, Google usually finds lots of things you don’t want at the same time. I suppose that would be like if, when my boyfriend asks me to help search for his keys, I came back with his keys buried under a pile of Alicia Keys, Frederick Keys, Florida Keys, Access Keys, Keys Estate Agency, and The Keys to Soil Taxonomy. This might be cute the first couple of times, but I think it would get irritating quite quickly. I think he probably realises this.
Anyways, I'm sorry you didn't get a real cake with real candles Google, but let's face it, you probably wouldn't have been able to find any matches.
(God, I'm funny.)

No -- that would be if you were acting like Yahoo Search. If you were like Google you probably would return all those random "Keys" but the relevant house keys would at least be on top of the pile!
Ah, Yahoo Search. Do they still do that? I've been googling for so long now I'd almost forgotten other search engines existed.
The idea of using Yahoo search almost seems a bit nostalgic and retro-cool. They should probably try and market themselves to art students or something.
