Google fills in the blank
So, if you're typing a google search and you start with a couple words, google offers to fill in the rest of the words for you.
Some of the things it does were brought to my attention by a site called allweirdnews.com
Moving on. One of the ones didn't work so I was less interested, until I tried this one: "my wife is"
And while it wasn't identical to this: http://allweirdnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/my-wife-is-search.JPG
It had all the good ones still!
So, any interesting fill-in-the blanks by Google that you found?

@gorilla - Cats in heat (especially indoor) are a pain to deal with. I had a friend who hadn't fixed his kitten and she was all over anything whether it moved or not.
@gabriela - Didn't see it, but most websites actually can pull that information. Also, it helps Google be better, so I'm fine with it. While they probably can track IP, they don't know who and so I don't really mind.

Comic written by a 5 year old, illustrated by a 29 year old
There are times where I wish I had the imagination I used to have...

Shannon if you had the imagination I do now you'd be in jail.
And yes, I have to agree with Patrick that the comic was pretty disturbing. Could also tell it was written by a 5 year old.

Was this a case of premeditated lacto-assault?

I have seen a woman squirt breast milk with the force of a water gun. Maybe it hit the jailer in the eye!
Madagascar
This movie just leaves you feeling good and ends with you wanting to "move it, move it!" I love some of those lemurs.Anyway, the story is about a Zebra who hears of "the wild" and resolves to go out into the world. Through a series of misfortunes, him and three of his Central Park Zoo pals (a lion, hippo, and giraffe) they find themselves on a tropical island. It's a story about friendship, but mostly it's just a bundle of laughs.
The movie has a number of great "bits" and while the story is nothing special, the situational comedy is brilliant. They also do a lot of wonderful job of making tributes to various pop culture movies and references.
The penguins, while not as cute and cuddly as other movies have made them out to be lately, still are brilliant and I love them to death. If you're looking for something light and and fun, definitely a movie to check out.
I just made love!
If the concept weren't brilliant enough, just put your mouse over the logo. Rocked my socks off!

@Gabriela - was that within 2 weeks, or 1 hour, or one month?

EEPS! I just realized that the cursor thing over the logo isn't as awesome in Chrome. But it works fine in Firefox.

I mean, wow! This was incredibly well done! I've always been in love with that sort of contraption, but this took it to a whole new level. Even made things go with the music! Definitely check it out!

Weekend of Dancing (sweet molasses blues) = Dance Picture Tribute!
Shannon W. "I'd argue that Kevin doesn't look uncomfortable, the glasses are just modifying his look. John...well, it also looks like he's not happy with his follow and is about to punch her. But I wasn't taking part that dance to actually know the truth there."

Sazze on Facebook?
So, there used to be a page for Sazze on Facebook. But for some reason it was a localized business page instead of an online one, and thus it recently got ix-nayed.
With that said, we're working on a new Sazze Facebook Fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sazze/338444854336
What I'd like to know is this: What the heck should be going on it??

Oh, and I want to make sure people realize that it's different than the blog post made awhile back about posting reviews on facebook: http://blog.sazze.com/?cid=1&pid=31

Honestly i think it's kinda hard to say what should be going on the facebook page when there isn't much going on on the actual sazze.com site itself. Maybe once things start to get going on here again, they can be featured on facebook.... like before when we had Reviewer of the day/featured reviews, contests.. those would have been nice to put on the facebook page. I also remember for a short time we were receiving weekly wrap-up type things in our email about the picture with the most comments, chat threads with the most responses, default picture of the week, and other updates about the site, etc, etc. etc.. those would also be nice to have on facebook i think.
