Google’s Lost and Found Lists

Once in a while it’s good to just relax and let the financial talk behind, forget about the CEOs and COOs and features, gadgets and codes. Some relax with a beer, watching the game that’s on, regardless of the sport, just for the feeling of old time’s sake, others go out with
their childhood friends, while a third category stick to the computer and find something else to do except following the numbers.

I myself am of the last, and I just search for a blog post to light my day. Philipp Lenssen’s post on Blogoscoped did the trick, as it addressed both Google and the fun side of it. He entered in the Google search box the "I lost all my" query and noted some of the returns. People seem to have lost "all their files," "the feeds on the Google homepage," "their Google traffic, because they didn’t back up their site," "all their music," "their Yahoo! inbox contents," "their money, lost at cock fights," "their career" (how did that happen?), "their faith, heart or appetite" (probably because of the singles awareness day that Valentine’s turned out to be for many), "their bear" (what?), "all of their contacts, stickies or text message data," "all of their work" (bummer!) and "their virginity" (probably because they found themselves not alone on St V’s day).

Turning the wheel and the query, people found and wanted to search for others who did the same, "a duck," "freedom in an unfree world" (many are still searching for that, some contact information should have been provided), "someone by the name of Elmer" (where? IS there a park you go to and find ducks and Elmers?), "a baby bird" (so sweet, I’m sure the cat will enjoy it), "heaven" (people must stop smoking pot and going online, nothing good can come of it), "Saddam’s WMD bunkers" (probably stumbled upon them, the military couldn’t and they did look everywhere hidden), "a peanut" (there’s something to brag about), "a woman in her husband’s drawers" (adultery is nothing to talk about – or do, for that matter), "God" (‘sup, G?), "you" (no, they didn’t), "crap" (that’s not difficult), "Einstein’s brain" (in a can?) and "pills, which they then ate."
