Thumbs up Google is your friend

1. Go to www.google.com

i personally dont like google search...however the way this actually works is that google is trying to give you the most relevant answers to your queries..

its called a 'Google Bomb'...

the White House has many internet links around the web...people who link to the White House website from thier website (mostly bloggers). They use the word 'failure' in the link and hey presto.

Try it, its fun, plus you'll be doing the world a favour.

"Each stroke of the pedal has a top and a bottom. Regard each as equal and understand that both are required".

That implies an up and down motion, whereas I was taught that "cycling" meant that you drove the pedals in a circle, like working a grindstone with your foot.

All these years and I've been doing it wrong - bit like my sex life, really.

John.

It is sort of like the ying and the yang. The problem is that sometimes both get stuck in your yingyang.
Either way cycling is like sex. Don't fall off. It's embarassing.

plug 'liar' into google.co.uk (not google.com)

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=liar

the website doesn't contain the word 'liar' in any of its text yet it is the most relevant result.

I think any sitting president would come up when if you did that.

Try "pants on fire" just for fun.

Because most of them are lying, pandering oligarchs. At least the last 4 were.
