[...] Prince William dead, reports Google – PC Pro Search for “British royals” for example, and top of the shop is Prince William. Born on 21 June 1982 and (ahem) died on “28 August 1972 (aged 30) Halfpenny Green, Wolverhampton”. So not only did he die before he was born, but he somehow reached the ripe old age of 30. Perhaps there’s a time machine in the Midlands?… [...]

Sorry, What I meant was Pricne William of Gloucester Died August 28 1972. In a plane crash he was the first of King George V and Queen Mary’s Grandchildren to Die. He was age (30)
I think someone got the two confusied.

Gave it a go using ‘F1′

All was going well until entry 27. To my surprise John Miles (yes he of the 10-minute ‘epic’ tune Music) was apparantly born in 1981, drove for Lotus and, notably, scored no wins!

Hmm

Try a Squared search for ‘Search Engines’ and while it says Yahoo was launched in 1995 and Hotbot in 1996, it does not seem to know when Google was launched. Nice

Intrigued by the 100kg cat, I searched cat… it appears to be more accurate now listing them between 1 and 3lbs in weight…

Unfortunately upon adding the column “size”, I was told a cat ranged between 30Kb, and 2.99MB… with only one listed as “small”

“Briton” gives you a list of singers and “UK” gives Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Apparently, Google is trying to hide good ol’ England

On the listing of American Presidents mentioning Barack Obama, under “Preceded By” it says “No Value Found”. Well, that just about sums Dubya up.

Colours of the rainbow is an interesting search, not only because it returns 450 – 400nm as one of the colours, but also because Green is published by DC Comics, Orange by Electronic Arts, and Indigo by Atari.

That’s something they never taught me when I did my physics degree,

A search for browsers gave a nice list of options, but it states “question mark” in the box for “stable release” next to IE… which does suggest alterior motives.

Saying that, Chrome wasn’t listed and Firefox’s lastest stable release is dated September 23rd, 2002.

Clearly it does the basics fairly well but the extra info needs improvement.
