Google Labs' Set O' Kibo
Dan
developments, and so stopped by their page to have a look-see. I happened
upon this "Google Sets" item (http://labs.google.com/sets), which allows the
user to enter a few items in a set and "predicts other items in the set".
Well, I thought it might be nice to give it a shot at listing some
Kibological things. It _failed miserably_.
Given: Kibo, Bacon
Returned: Bacon, Kibo, Eggs, Bread, Milk, Cheese, Sausage, Ham, Egg
Given: Kibo, Usenet
Returned: Usenet, KIBO, Web Directories, Mailing Lists, Orginizations,
Orginisations, Internet Services, FTP, Software, Email, Internet Cafes,
Telnet, Memorabilia
Given: Kibo, Bacon, Usenet, Space: 1999
Returned: NOTHING
This didn't improve... it actually got worse. Kibo and Cones returned all
sorts of twisted, strange items. Maybe it's my fault, not Google's. Everyone
else: try giving it some more Kibological items, see what it returns!

How about: Branes, Lard
Returned: Butter, sugar, sexist language, suitcase words, Wild birdseed,
Rope, Saucepot, Bacon, Fatback, salt, Dead Kennedys,
Presidential Candidacy, Solid Shortenings
I really can't figure why Dead Kennedys are there, unless Jello Biafra
counts as a food item. Also, presidential candidacy must be tied to
lard, becasue shurely there is no relation to branes. Also, Suitcase
Words?

6661 - 2002 = 4659, so that would make it 4,659 years. (today's
challenge: guess where that reference comes from - earn tasty bacon
points!)

For only 49 cents more you can dumbsize that language and get an extr-
large order of yummy lard with those branes. Also, today we are
including free Suitcase Words with each order!
That will be a dollar three ninty-seven. Please pull forward to the
second window-like portal and thank you for shopping at Wiblur's

Please excuse the second reply to this post, but as the first was
uploading I noticed this and wondered if you could recommend a good
butting salon(1) and explain how it makes your butt longer.

no can do, sorry. no salon's been able to do anything more creative
than simply trim it for over ten years.

IT KEEPS GETTING CLOSER. EVERY TIME I LOOK, IT'S THAT MUCH CLOSER.
(I have skinny butt, apparently. should I try conditioner?)
> (1) Not for Fnarring!!!1!!

to that effect) that claims that there will be "total human holocaust" in
6661. Naturally, I cheated. If that turns out to be correct, then Google
must not be entirely useless (and I probably have to forfeit my bacon
points!). If you'd like to see the web site (for some reason), the address

that half-elf-half-troll looking thing that they leave on screen while it's
searching? Creepy, if you ask me. And that map seems to be somewhat
off-kilter... its favorite site for "Xibo" was something devoted to the XFL.
Even odderer:
Topics for Kibo:
-Safari -Consists
-Experiment -Develops
-Service -Comments
-Official -Japan
-Mount
-Climb
-Wildfire
-Guides
-Adventure
-Group
I honestly have no idea.

=v= Oh, it's way off-kilter. Now let's take Google Labs' screwy
sets and plug 'em into Kartoo. In a fit of egomania, I went to
Google Labs looking for "Jym" and it found "Jym again", so I
plugged that into Kartoo and it led to "frank".

No other takers, eh? Well, you were close, sort of. No satanosity is
involved, however. The obscure reference of the week is to the revised
year of X-day, which for the uninformed in all things Yeti is the day the
pleasure saucers come to take away those who have sufficient slack and
have sent in their $30.
The original date was in 1999, but when the saucers failed to show,
Rev. Stang explained that when "Bob" handed him the napkin with the date
on it, he "read it upside down".
