Google Labs

[Boston Guy]

I'm not sure if most of you already know about the Google Labs tools, but I just discovered them a couple of days ago. So far, I've only tried the Google Glossary and Google Sets.

 

The sets are fun to experiment with -- it's surprisingly good at constructing sets from three base items. But far more useful, really, is the glossary. You can use it to get definitions of words, phrases and acronyms.

 

To test it, I started trying different words and phrases. These are the words I tried:

 

Agora, rom, tonne, euripides, cumin, rack, cad/cam, journal entry, nimrod,baste, laser, maser, neutron star, carbon tetrachloride, tcp/ip, diode, automata, jovial, java, edta, hanseatic league, nucleotide, verge, mignonette, vegan, cultivar, listeria, urethane, plar, chuang-tzu, mother of pearl, balance of trade, oecd, eniac and hopper.

 

It returned at least something for each of them. For some, it provided lots of info and clickable links are provided for each of the definitions. It will also list related phrases as clickable links.

 

Cumim brought up references to different forms of the spice, java got both the beverage and the language and jovial got the (reasonably obscure) language as well as the body type. Hopper brought up definitions of hoppers but also provided links to Grace Hopper (with dates of birth and death provided), hopper cars, Crow hopper and a variety of others.

 

It's a pretty good tool and I've already bookmarked it.

ps: If you haven't ever tried this, click on the "Language Tools" link on Google's main screen. Then, under languages, try any or all of "Bork! Bork! Bork!", "Elmer Fudd", "Hacker", "Klingon", or "Pig Latin". I think Pig Latin is my favorite, but Elmer Fudd is pretty good, too. If you try Hacker and can't figure out how to get back to English (a definite possibility!), press the Back button on the browser a few times to get back to a normal Google page. Then choose "Language Tools" again, select "English" and save your preferences.

Boston, I have absolutley no idea what those words mean or do or what the purpose of the lab is, and I thought I had been around. I do know when I go to goggle and put in loincloth naked boy precum I'm set for the rest of the day. Then, maybe over the weekend, I'll try "loincloth slave boy testicle" and take it from there. Gladiators also works nice for me. Now, is my google the same as your google. Before you answer, I have a one and a half ton Oxford Dictionary in my library. Be gentle with me. :-)

No, please be gentle with me... I forgot to add the URL to the message, so the whole thing really made no sense. Sorry, it was late. :-)

 

Fortunately, Hoover was able to supply the right one.

 

As for the list of words, I was just testing the Google Glossary by throwing at it a bunch of different words and it kept coming up with answers. Now that the URL is up, give it a try: it's different than the normal Google but just as fast. For some things, I think it will be more useful.

>testicle"

 

Isn't "testicle" an awful word? Testicle. Testes. Testicular. It almost makes "vagina" sound palatable (no offense, Tina!).

Rick, the dialogue regarding the word testicle would certainly not take place while making out. Last night in Montreal, back at the Hotel, in a 69 position with me lying facing up, I had the guy's cock in my mouth, my hands rubbing massaging feeling his butt and, and, his balls stationed just over my nose until I sat him up on my face, whence, they were in my warm moist mouth just before my tongue slipped neatly in side his butt. Hence, the word testicle is for academitians in persuit of scholarship which is pertinent to what I do with that google. Just think for a second, if, heaven forebid, we did not have the word testicle. Now where are you: loincloth boy balls precum. What a mess. Contrarily, you put in that google thing boy precum with testicles in between and you've got something. Nonetheless, don't pout with your innocent ways. Just keep you hands warm for me and you can put them anywhere. (I don't understand why your oblique questions always leave me with precum).:9
