Cool! I beat your dad 57 hits to 13, but I suppose that’s because his work and citations of his work pre-date digitization.

Jacob and I were talking about something just like this yesterday. I guess if you’ve got a cool idea, Google’s already on it.

Yup, Google’s searching is so far advanced that they have begun searching my future thoughts and beating me to them so that I can’t sound smart anymore.
