The Whole Can of.....

Dr. Menon used the phrase "...that just opened a whole can of worms." and it got me thinking about how bad that would be. If I had a can of worms that got opened somehow, what would happen? They'd writhe around and a few would fall out onto the table. Is that really a big deal? That's more of an annoyance. "Dang it. The can of worms got open. I have to shove those guys back in there." I think a better phrase would be 'can of killer bees'. "OH CRAP! THE CAN OF KILLER BEES GOT OPENED! RUN!"


I just now noticed the little 'labels' thing on the bottom of posting. Not that I'm going to use it, but the examples it gives are "scooters, vacation, fall". Scooters? Really? That's the first thing you're going to give as an example of something to tag? Not 'family' or 'friends'? Scooters? Why not just say 'paper airplanes'.


On TV today there was a commercial for a degree in Criminal Justice. I was thinking that that sounds kinda overly important. "I'm going to bring JUSTICE to criminals!" We don't call our degree "Health Bringer".


You know who I feel bad for? The last search result in Google. Unless you're searching for something ridiculously specific, noboby's ever going to see that last result. Why even have 700,000 results? If I have to look past page 4 I'm just gonna redefine my search. In honor of that last result, here's a link to the last result in a search for "Medicine". I hope it's not porn.
Last Result
(It's actually a terrible acted video encouraging people to read the Bible.)
UPDATE: So, Google actually caps off the results around 1,000, even if medicine gave over 400 million results. That was probably a good idea. I'm still not making it to page 87 in a search.

  1. 1. What is pedialyte, where can i get it and how much does it cost? Sounds like magic

    2. I think technically the phrase is "bring Criminals to Justice." Health Bringer still sounds accurate though. I move for the adoption of Health Bringer over "doctor."

    3. I dont feel bad for the last search result, since that particular site is presumably much higher on the results page in other searches. Goes to show you can't be number one in everything. Sort of a lesson in humility.
