silly game to play

I'm in the middle of doing some html coding for my new website (http://www.beginner-gardening.com) and rediscovered the fun of google searching.

I was doing an summary of Japanese Beetles and the google adsense programme (the small boxes on the right hand side of the google search engine) picked up the term "Japanese Beetles" in its automatic mode. E-bay has a standing robot ad programme that picks up your search term and tells you that you can buy it on e-bay.

So - there I was staring at a google ad telling me I could buy Japanese Beetles on e-bay. :-) Not that I'd want to but...

It reminded me that if you get google going, you can have e-bay buy sell you almost anything you want it to. Enter your search term - the more outlandish the better and see if you can get google or ebay to give you an ad for it. Its an interesting game to play for a very short time if you are drinking beer with a buddy.
