fun with google

saw this on a friend's blog:

Go to images.google.com. Type in your answers to the following questions and post the first postable image result for each. (Although this may depend on your definition of what is "postable.")

1. Place you grew up
2. Place you live now
3. Your name
4. Your grandmother's name
5. Favourite food
6. Favourite drink
7. Favourite song
8. Favourite smell
9. Favourite shoes


here's the results:

1. Place you grew up


seriously the first non-weather-radar picture that came up :-P

2. Place you live now


(there's a story to this one... i actually recognize the guy in the photo! he's a mathematician named neil sloane, and he runs the online encyclopedia of integer sequences... he was a guest speaker at the rutgers experiemental math seminar last fall, and i've been using the OEIS for math stuff since undergrad... this particular picture comes from here, the "online party" for celebrating the 100,000th sequence being submitted to the site... it's 5 pages of math people with wine glasses from around the world :-) kinda fun :-))

3. Your name


(story here too... with just "lara", scantily clad people i don't care to post on my blog come up... with first and last name, it's all me or images from my rutgers website... this pic is the first and only actually of me that comes up... my friend paul took it 3 years ago spring break after we ran up 9 flights of stairs to his apartment due to a broken elevator... hence me looking like crap :-P)

4. Your grandmother's name




i went with my grandmothers' nicknames rather than real names in hopes of getting non-scantily-clad-women pictures :-P

5. Favourite food




there's definitely a 2-way tie here

6. Favourite drink


this is seriously the first thing that came up...



...but this is more like it :-)

7. Favourite song


can you guess the song from the picture? if nothing else, it's a cool picture

8. Favourite smell


mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, vanilla :-)

9. Favourite shoes


enough said

the end :-P
