Google has a lot of things.

I personally like the built in calculator/unit conversions, and the "define:<word>" feature can be handy at times too.

Old, but I like the Google Drinking Game more, which I just discovered. (Google search for it)

And speaking of define:, ever since I found it, I stopped going to dictionary.com often and a day never goes without a define:. Is there an acronymfinder.com thingy too?

Not currently.

You can see a list and description of all Google's features here: http://google.com/help/features.html

"Google: A party game for three or more players.

Pick a player to go first. The player who goes first picks two words, which
are fed to the Google search page. After this, play passes to the left, and
each player adds a word. Words may be misspelled or made up. If a search
turns up no hits, the player who added the last word is out. The last player
in the game, or the first player to reach a search with only one result,
wins. Play resumes with the person on the left of the previous winner. Count
points however you want."


Wow... what geeks.

I'll stick to Beirut.

The google.com/linux and google.com/mac search features are amazingly useful, as is the google calculator.

Me and my friends made up the Don Cherry/Coach's Corner drinking game, but you'd have to be a Canadian to truly understand the beauty of it...mostly because a lot of you probably don't even know who Don Cherry is.

phyx may possibly be looking to increase his post count, as if they actually mattered! :eek2:

phyx may possibly be looking to increase his post count, as if they actually mattered! :eek2:He repeatedly posts twice and even three times instead of using edit.
Rather annoying imho.
