I have some other spoof Google related things:

1/ Try an 'I'm feeling lucky' search for "Weapons of Mass Destruction"

2/ Try an 'I'm feeling lucky' search for "French Military Victories"

My director of studies thought this was the funniest thing she had ever seen on the web and sent it to the entire department via email.

I like the second one too - never seen that one before.

Here's another Google search engine for left-handers:

It's a 'mirror' site for Google.

More Star Trek Googling

from ZDNet.co.uk
Boldly Googling into the future

Google product manager Marissa Mayer recently said that search is still in its infancy -- how do you think it will look when it's 'grown up'?

When search grows up, it will look like Star Trek: you talk into the air ("Computer! What's the situation down on the planet?") and the computer processes your question, figures out its context, figures out what response you're looking for, searches a giant database in who-knows-how-many languages, translates/analyses/summarises all the results, and presents them back to you in a pleasant voice. I think this technology is about, oh, 300 years off. Just getting the computer to understand your question, much less the context it's being asked in, is way beyond the state of the art in computer science right now.
