How to Get Answers by Texting Google:

So I've been using this a lot lately. You can get an answer to most questions by sending Google a text message (sms). To do it, simply send a message to 466453 (G-O-O-G-L-E).

Here are some example of what you can do: (send the following commands)

  • definition aspartame (returns the definition of aspartame)
  • weather 90210 (returns the weather conditions for the zip code 90210)
  • score yankees (returns the score for the Yankees game)
  • movies 90210 (sends back a list of movies playing, you choose the movie and it returns movie times)
  • translate hello in german (gives you the word hello in german, 'hallo')
  • stock goog (returns stock quote for 'GOOG')

You can even convert things:

  • 5 gallons in liters
  • 6 euros in usd

There are a lot of other cool things that you can do with it. For more information, and an interactive demo check out Google's web page on the subject here.

If I text Google asking why someone would post this, would it text me back saying "Because he's a douchebag."? If so then I might continue to use it after that. That would be some acurate stuff right there.

I suppose if you're far from a computer, and your phone isn't well-equipped for phone web surfing, then this could come in handy.

But that's why people like me just stay glued to our laptops all day long :P

Easily wording Google wondering the reason why a person would certainly article this, wouldn't it text message us back again declaring "Because he has been the douchebag.In that case however may continue using that from then on. That you will find several acurate products immediately.

I accept if you're far from a computer, and your buzz isn't well-equipped for buzz web surfing, again this could appear in handy.

But that's why humans like me just break alert to our laptops all day long

There are 21 monks. One day a demon comes and tells them he will kill them all. But he will give them a 50% chance of surviving. He makes them stand in a line one after the other and puts a black or white hat on each monk's head. A monk can't see which colour hat is on his head. Now the monster will start from the back of the line and ask each monk what coloured hat is on his head. Monk can only say 'black' or 'white'. If he answers correctly, he lives else gets eaten alive. The head of the monks tells the demon to give them a day's time and play the game tomorrow. Demon agrees and when he is gone, the head monk says that he might live or die tomorrow but he will ensure the rest will live. How?

His hat will determine what color is next and so on...so he may live or die but everyone else lives.

When I check the news articles on Google, I feel like I am constantly being bombarded with items on veganism, the British royal family, NCIS and Star Trek. Do you send the same items to everybody? Because you REALLY overdo it!
