Just wait until Google Earth is real time.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm telling you, we must remain vigilant, and not become too dependent on google. They seem benevolent now, but....
I think I posted this diagram of Google's Master Plan before.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, soon we will have Google Heaven and Hell™ that will let you determine the whereabouts of your dead ancestors.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I believe that "Master Plan" is just another step in their REAL plan.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I, for one, welcome our new Google overlords.

I'm seeing a weird convergence between Google and Sims now.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Don't know if you are still looking for bad statistical examples - but - there was recent survey headlined in parts of the U.S. press showing a 70% approval rating in India for the U.S.. Problems was that it was a telephone survey, and India still has a substantial percent of the population poor enough not own telephones. BTW it was a Pew study, Pew said upfront that they oversampled urban areas; so if the people conducting the survey disclose the problem is it still a problem? I guess it depends on whether you are looking for dishonesty or bad methology. Cause if disclosed it is not dishonest, but bad methodology is still bad methodology.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies, all.
Skipped, well, a lot. Including most of the previous Natter thread.
Hopefully no one else posted this already, but this made me laugh a lot:
