Google Search Finds Missing Sock
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009Only one day after Google announced “ground-breaking” enhancements to the capabilities of its search algorithm, short order cook Darren Snead reported early this morning that the search engine helped him locate a sock that had gone missing the night before, while folding laundry. Google notified Snead of the location of the sock, which had apparently stuck to the inside leg of Snead’s jeans during drying, when Snead wondered aloud to himself as to its whereabouts. ”At first I was glad they found it,” said Snead. ”But the more I think about it, the scarier it is. How the hell did Google do that?” Enhancements to its algorithm, explained Google engineer Elsa Schnitzengrubel. ”We’ve been integrating nearly every aspect of life into our algorithm,” said Schnitzengrubel. ”Now with feeds from social media, the cloud, and Android, we can read your thoughts, your dreams, and even your subconscious. There’s really nothing you can hide from us anymore. Especially your socks.”
