So, I was doing a Google search on a medical symptom yesterday – because of course, when you have a medical symptom, you look at the Internet instead of going to an actual doctor – and while I found some reassuring answers to my symptom, Google also suggested that I might find the following searches pertinent:
Why can’t I own a Canadian?
Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch?
And apparently, from the image below, I’m not the only person this has happened to.
Just wanted to share…

Lol. I thought I had that same syndrome once, but it turned out to be just a little gas and the guy was actually Lebanese.

People actually google these things? I do google bizarre things when writing, but not as strange as these! Still, it would probably be a good thing if a writer’s google searches were never revealed!

I agree, suzicate!

Had to chuckle at the suggested other possible searches which you might consider.

Oh my I had to hold my mouth closed so no one would hear me laughing out loud. Thanks so much for sharing. Sometimes a good laugh is just what you need. My yesterday needed today that had a good laugh.

I was just wondering about the dead Pakistani on my couch yesterday. But I figured Google couldn’t possibly have an answer. I thought they only handled Saudis.

That made me laugh, singlecell. Did you know that in my head, I call you celly? No, you probably didn’t know that. But never understimate the power and wisdom of the Google.

I did not know that. But I’m fine with it. Sometimes I wonder if I should change my blog name. But then I think, “This is the name people know.” Hmmm.

I’ve thought the same thing. I wonder if I would have some kind of identity crisis if I did so.
