    If I went onto google.com and typed "How to kill George Bush", "dead presidents", "assasination for beginners", "steak and cheese", "How not to get caught after killing the president", "what to say if the FBI come round" and "poo" a lot of times do think the CIA would come after me?

    Where does it end. They could set up a ministry for search keyword mining called, "Minitruth" and then they'd have to set up another agency to act on all the data they mined called "the thought police" ....

    .....its all starting to look a little familiar.

    Why not try it and see?

    We already have a ministry for search keyword mining, in the UK its called GCHQ and the US equivalent escapes me for now but its there. Until fairly recently GCHQ did not appear on maps, which is amusing as its the large building plainly visible in Cheltenham when you come off the motorway, no doubt explains the otherwise bafflingly high sales of "Mathematics Monthly" and arabic dictionarys in WH Smiths in Cheltenham, and of course now you can just find it on Google earth anyway.

    Not that I'm going to try, because the next thing will be special branch coming round to look through my hard drive and I'd like to keep my Roy Orbison in cling film thing secret for now.

    Damn...

    Actually, EA makes a very good point. I'm not certain why the US Government even needs assistance from AOL, Yahoo or Google. They've had a very invasive data mining program in place since the Clinton administration: Janet Reno's little baby, Carnivore. It monitors everything. The big debate about it was ISP's linking a POP id with an actual ID, but that fight got settled back in 1999, if I recall properly.

    Well, looks like Don's gloomy assessment of Google may have some solid backing after all.

    Google to continue storing search requests despite AOL gaffe.
    Ugh.

    I dared. That was hilarious.

    Now, to the point:

    How did YOU find it?

    That's even weirder than all of those Aragon-Legolas love stories that were floating around when LotR was out ... and that's saying something ...
