I have a deep appreciation for Google. The ability to search for virtually anything at any hour has been a lifesaver on numerous occasions, though it has also induced mild panic at times. Google remains non-judgmental; it allows you to inquire about whatever you wish without revealing your identity (provided your settings are correct). This is truly a remarkable tool.
Over the past four years and eight months, my queries have ranged from the deeply personal to the outright comical, with plenty of hilariously personal questions in between. I can’t be the only one with an amusing search history, so I’m sharing (some of) mine with you.
