Great contest at Slate – Google Search

Oh, man. I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw some of the results of this contest.  Essentially, Slate asked readers to submit the best “less intelligent” and “more intelligent” autofill on the google query.

Scooter parking

I was walking through the square the other day and happened to catch this. Couldn’t help but snap a photo.

Finally, someone using a robot the way a robot should be used
