you is lion to me

we all know and love the google search suggestions. you type in "what" and google suggests a variety of questions you could be asking, such as:

• what is my ip?
• what not to wear
• what does my name mean?
• what is twitter? (side note: heeeee)

hilarious and informative, i've always loved seeing what pops up even when it's completely unrelated to what i'm looking for.

slate went about this a wee bit more systematically and then wrote an article about it called "let's have fun with the google search box." the author's experiments are pretty fantastic, my fav is below, comparing two very differently worded questions that are pretty much getting at the same thing, but generate very very different responses:

and some added fun with grammar:

amazing.
