    Google News...

    I checked out the Google News section for the first time today...so far pretty impressed with it and its varitly of places it gets its news from...but this made me laugh at the bottom of the page:

    This page was generated entirely by computer algorithms without human editors.
    No humans were harmed or even used in the creation of this page.
    :lol:
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

          What was it with those pidgeons? I remember seeing a page on google that "explained" how they searched the web using pidgeons... It was hilarious!

          Maybe they should call themselves Giggle instead of Google...

                          Speaking of pidgeons and news, I remember reading an article in the NY Times about pidgeons who would hop on the A train here and ride for a couple of stops
