What a Hot Mess: Google Searches of Countries or Continents

The wonderful Jason Oberholtzer from I Love Charts has pointed out something I never realized about Google when it comes to doing a search of countries or continents.

Don't do this at work - trust me, it's not safe.  But when you search "European", "American", or "African", you pull up lovely images of flags, culture and history;  But when you search "Asian" it's not a pretty picture.  What a Hot Mess!

The chart below is an example - it's been edited for safe viewing.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly!

Get More Out of Google

Hack College has come up with the following Infographic that I have posted on my blog on a permanent basis (located on the left sidebar).  It provides tips and tricks for students wishing to do online research.  

A recent study has found that 3 out of  students don't search Google efficiently, hell, I know people that could use help with Google.  One example, "Don't ask Google questions. Think about how an answer would be phrased, and search for that(ie, never search for 'What is the air speed velocity...')."

Yes, you have people who are Google masters, and know every Google trick in the book, but most of us don't, so this definitely does help.  Give it a try if you're doing a research paper, project, or just simply at home searching for useless information.  Enjoy.

Isn't This The Truth? Google Uses

LMAO, isn't this the truth?  So what do you use Google for mostly?  Nearly half of you use it to get your rocks off.  The other half uses it for spell checking, and an 1/8 of you actually use it for finding useful information.  Oh yeah... and some of you use it when they're too lazy to type in ".com"

What would happen if...

I shit you not, I just finished typing "what would happen if " with a space after "if" and this is what Google came up with.  I took this screenshot just now. 

You should try it.  I swear, some people search for the weirdest shit.

LMAO! What would happen if I poured self-raising flour on an orphan?  I'm ROFL - this is priceless!

Isn't This The Truth? Google Reality

LMAO - isn't this chart the truth!  How many times have you found yourself searching for stuff, and can't seem to find what you're looking for?

I especially love "8, 9, 10...", Gotta love it!
