    (tags: funny humour google bias africa america search suggestions)
  • Starling Fitness » The Wii Sport Experiment
    “If you play Wii Sport religiously for 30 minutes every day, you could lose weight.”

  • BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Caverns give up huge fossil haul
    “The kangaroos range from rat-sized animals to 3m (nearly 10ft) giants.”

  • BBC NEWS | Business | Criminals ‘may overwhelm the web’
    “Experience showed that about 50% of all pirated Windows programs came with Trojans pre-installed on them, Mr Markoff said.”
