My favourite google autocompletes
Google auto-complete was confusing when it first came in. We were used to our browsers showing us a list of our previous search queries and then suddenly instead, it was showing us a list of the world's favourite search queries and we all thought our husbands had been searching for "anne robinson stocking tops."
I've got some favourites, the top two are courtesy of Heather:


Then there's the worrying fact that people seem more interested in when Orange will get the iPhone, than the world oil crisis:

It appears that husbands are less satisfying than wives:

Forgetting to get married seems to be more common than forgetting to go to court.

Try "Why does" arf arf

Now when you type "Why does arf arf" into google with quotation marks, your site is the first (and only) thing that comes up. Well done me!

Yes, thanks to the above comments happening to be on the sidebar of my blog for many weeks, Google now thinks that "Arf" is an important keyword.
I hope we're not detracting from the Animal Rescue Fund. Think of the poor kitten when somebody searches for "Only ARF can save my cat" and instead ends up directed to a post about knitted willy warmers!
