Do you have any searches that Google or Bing didn’t get right and made you laugh? Drop a comment.

I wonder if many people did read the email you sent. Replica and Rolex in one email… I had to fish (pun intended) the email from the spam folder.

Asking Bing Maps for directions from Las Vegas to Hoover Dam used to bring up a 3-day trip to a Hoover Dam somewhere in like, Ohio. I tweeted them and they fixed it. Yay Microsoft Public QA!
So you are the user who uses Bing Maps! I kid, I kid.
