Google Suggest 655
Cristiano writes "As you type into the search box, Google Suggest guesses what you're typing and offers suggestions in real time. This is similar to Google's 'Did you mean?' feature that offers alternative spellings for your query after you search, except that it works in real time." It crashes Konqueror, but works nicely on Mozilla. Update: 12/11 by J : The engineer who thought of it, then built it in his "20% time," blogs about the process.

I'd say it's pretty obvious what I intend to search for. This thing is utterly useless. (Although, in it's favour, I must say the Paris Hilton first link was pretty good.)

It also suggests "loose weight". I can't believe how many web sites there are devoted to loosing weight. I guess that's the origin of the term, "to throw your weight around" -- so many people loosing it, and throwing weight will certainly loose it. What a bunch of loosers.
(and looking at that paragraph long enough makes me wonder if I've loosed it, myself)

Careful though, some pervs our there might think you were talking about wanking, jagging, or otherwise masturbating. (Horrors!) They might not get your true message about amputees.
I keed, I keed. I was just very amused with puritanical way you approached the subject, and that you went the extra step not to condone it.

Usually people would reply to this qustion by saying 'google it'. The fact you were one click away from knowing everything about Tara Reid, imdb listing to botched boob job photos, puts you into a new class of laziness that can probably be detected from space.
