What some people do because they're not having rumpy bumpy

Alerted by “an anonymous tipster,” this guy spent hours trying to prove that Google’s search algorithms are global warming faggots sneakily advancing their homo-Climategate agenda. His proof: A series of drop-down boxes of search suggestions prompted by his numerous keyings for c-l-i-m-a-t-e-g-a-t-e.

What did he prove, other than he’s an idiot? First, that climatega is such an unlikely string of letters in English that Google doesn’t always automatically, ah, auto-complete the string. And second, that his assumptions are wrong, as meticulously documented and mocked over at Sadly, No.
