Picture it – the lights go down, there is a hush over the crowd. All you can see are the flashes of cameras and those people on their cell phones (which used to be people with lighters). Next, the ring lights came up. Michael Buffer stands in the middle of the ring . He gets up on the mic and says:
“Ladies and Gentlemen… LETS GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”

Well, maybe not as dramatic. But you get the idea.

Google Fight is a website which will pit 2 Google search words. While the two stick figures aren’t as fun to watch, the more interesting thing is the results it comes up with. The site will figure out how much a term is cataloged on Google. For instance, Good vs. Bad. Good shows up on Google 1,930,000,000 times while Evil shows up 192,000,000. So I guess in a Google world, Good prevails over Evil. Take THAT Satan!

While it’s a fun little diversion, it’s more of a tool to check some stats. Therefore this is a useful site for some that need to check some stats. It would be cool to see an updated version where different fight scenarios happen. We’ll see what happens.

BTW – pitting Geekazine vs. Dorkazine – Geekazine is at 21,600 and Dorkazine is at a lonely 2,080. Guess we have some work to do…

I have only rode the subway once (not counting those shuttles at the airports). It was in Toronto. Every other time I’ve just taken a cab. I suppose it’s less expensive, but then I don’t run into anything like people without pants.

On January 10th, 2009 – Improv Everywhere coordinated the 8th annual “No Pants Subway Ride”. The idea is straightforward: Get on the subway and take off your pants. Then ride around the subway to see what the reaction is.

The site itself likes to “cause scenes of chaos and joy in public places.” They have done other coordinated events, like the No Shirts on October 17th, the Human mirror – where identical twins who wear the same clothing put themselves in places where they can mirror each other and many more events.

It looks like the next event in the chain is the Cell phone Symphony. Checked cell phones go off simultaneously. At least, reading the missions, that would be the next item – but check with their website to make sure of it.

In the meantime, My hat… er… pants are off to you! I just hope nobody went commando…
