Are you guys as bummed as I am about Google censoring their results for China?
They even used to have a page that said:
Google does not censor results for any search term. The order and content of our results are completely automated; we do not manipulate our search results by hand. We believe strongly in allowing the democracy of the web to determine the... Read More
It is Google's policy not to censor search results. However, in response to local laws, regulations, or policies, we may do so. When we remove search results for these reasons, we display a notice on our search results pages. Please note: For some older removals (before March 2005), we may not show a notice at this time.
I hear the union wants to lower the retirement age of its members to thirty-two. And the salary raised up to, like, $120,000 and all the candy corn they can eat!

When we got to the bar, I handed her the fare and... Read More
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.”
“Oh no!” the President wails. “That's terrible!”
His staff are stunned at this display of emotion, and nervously watch as the President slumps with his head in his hands. Finally, the President looks up and asks, “How many is a brazillion?”
A (paraphrased) conversation about waving with vyeseleph:
Before I go, I just wanted to share with you a new method of waving to people that I've decided to popularize. It came to me in Canada.

The idea is to wave like a baby. Hold your forearm vertically, point it in a random direction, and simply clench and unclench.
I say, I've started... Read More
