You know, I was always impressed by Google's quality results, but I had no idea how they did it . . .

hamsters, pigeons and the Duck of Smugness

You know, I heard a rumour that Google used hamsters to power their search enginges as well . . . but it looks like all the hamsters quit and are now in Asia Carrera's chat room. <g>

Not that I go there or anything, mind you! I just heard the rumour.

The Duck of Smugness has many mysterious powers besides invisibility:

they don't run away when we pass by it freaky sometimes
but i allways that it would happend i just never knew

of flying across

Ahh, pigeons!

Quite a while ago, I visited Paris with a few friends. In front of the Centre Pompidou (a well known pigeons' meeting point), one of the 'flying rats' dropped its former lunch right on the brand new trenchcoat of one of my friends.

As he cried out in disgust, one of the others drily remarked: "Hey, you're lucky that cows can't fly!" 😀
