    Default Google!

    What's the weirdest/oddest thing you've ever Googled?


    And what was the last thing you Googled?

    I Googled "How To Dance In A Club" a little while ago ... lol IDK why. I can't dance and I hate clubs.

    Last, I Googled ferry rides & tours to the Statue of Liberty to see if we could get tickets.. Yeah that's a major NOPE.

    Man I can't even begin to make a list. Being a writer, I've Googled a lot of weird things. I did a lot of circus research for one of my novels, so there were a lot of weirdly specific circus-related questions then. I've also had the occasional weird violent questions for various stories and whatnot. Bit of research into abuse, suicide and comas for another story concept. Plenty of weird things.

    Lately I've been Googling my name a bit because I've been trying to make sure nothing weird comes up if somebody tries to Google me if I send them writing submissions.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    I've googled a lot of weird trout, and I refuse to believe anyone here has not.

    The last thing I googled was "glaucus atlanticus" because I am fascinated by them and they are the cutest damn little itty bitty smurfing adorable fish on the planet and I wanted a cute overload and they are literally a real-life pokemon.

    I use DuckDuckGo and it does not keep a search history so I couldn't tell you! I do occasionally search random numbers, however. Especially if I run across a number that could be a year. It might have been a really interesting year. Or there might be really interesting sci-fi set in that year.

    Back in the day when I was still using Google I did get banned for an hour once because Google actually thought I was a bot. Not even lying, that's what it said. Told you guys I was a robot.

    i shudder to think but I just tried taking a screenshot of the history of my search bar and there was at no point on the scroll down list where I could take a screenshot without something super weird or nws in it
