Googlified

This is a true story (at least that’s what Google says)…

This lady’s husband messed up their new washer because he forgot to take out the ink from his pocket. Now this lady said that she’s furious and was to kill her husband. Thanks to Google, she found a way to clean the washer and save her marriage.

That’s rid.iculo.us and h.ilario.us. It’s worse than MadTV. If she would kill her husband for such small thing, I suggest that she should really divorce him for her own goods. (I am just saying that this video is so fake)

Transcription:

Google is made up of a number of individuals who have very creative and unique backgrounds, and so we are very interested in what makes you very different and what makes you a potential Google material.

We generally like people who are excited about technology and who love what they are doing.

And somebody who shows really fascinated but tricky technical puzzles.

A special person who fits into a international team.

And come from a strong educational background.

What makes google really unique is in fact that makes the people we do have here.

“Geeks like to be with geeks!” LOL. :)

By the way, there’s an Oprah portrait crop circle on Google Maps. xD

From last Sunday’s “The Simpsons“.

[Marge egogoogles herself - “Marge Simpson“]
Marge: 629,000 results? Wow, and I thought all these time Googling yourself mean the other thing…
[Screen reads: YOUR HOUSE FROM SPACE (Google Earth)]
Marge: (Zooming into her location) It’s our house! But what’s that thing?
Marge: (Talking to Homer) Oh… Everyone can see you, get inside!
Homer: Never!
Marge: Just put on a towel.
Homer: (running to neighbor Ned’s house) Why don’t I just put on a dress?
Ned: Homer you met my parents?
Homer: Not naked I haven’t.

This reminds me the “Topless Sunbathing” post from GoogleSightSeeing.

I totally missed that episode. :(

It’s really tough this week choosing the Video of the Week, I am kinda in between Marissa Mayer laughing and the Just Google music video. Maybe I will go with Marissa Mayer laughing because she’s laughing! :)

So should you. I think you already know that laughter makes you healthier, but do you know in what way? According to USAToday, it makes you live longer, and BBC News says it can help you to lose a few extra pounds.

Come on, let’s “hahaha”. :)

Warning: If you are easily offended by silly jokes, then don’t watch it.

This is a funny video “featuring” George W. Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Hu Jintao, Yasser Arafat and Kofi Annan.

This week’s special edition - How to Tie a Tie. I will just be honest with you, every time I want to tie a tie, I will watch this video. Ha, I am serious, I just don’t know how. There’s a reason why so many websites out there want to teach you how to tie a tie.

Maybe I should just sit down one day and really learn “How to Tie a Tie”. :)

This is probably why I don’t use social networking sites as much, and I have to think twice before signing up or adding new friends. Well, who’s going to stalk me? (still got to be cautious) :)

These guys are from a group called the Penn Masala, formed by a group of students at the University of Pennsylvania in 1996. Great music and great video!
