Lightbulb Did you know Google could be used as a calculator

Type in your calc in the search string and it returns the result.

That's my thing learnt for today

Google also works for throwing up random results of combinations of the words you entered, I find.
Just type what you want to find in and it will return some random webpage (normally another search site).

I learned this ages ago, but it still fails to amuse me each and every day!

Oh, and the calc thing is pretty useful, in a geeky kind of way.

You can also search for people's email addresses:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...mail.com&meta=

(My mate knows this guy and for some reason searched for his address)!

Did you know, EVERYTHING you search for in google is stored by the people at google and logged against your IP address individually which can be looked at, at a later date, so for example, you could search for arsenic and if someone dies suspicously in say a year or so the police could ask google for your PC's search results and everything youve ever asked for on Google. could end up in trouble...lol
