Let’s say you’re looking up cast iron with Google and the results are returned to you in 0.21 seconds and there are 79,200,000 possibilities. And let’s further say that you want to look at the 79,199,999th result, the next to the last one.
Figuring a two-second page load as you click through the findings, that will take 355 days. Factor in periods of sleep, bathroom breaks and visits to various orthopedic surgeons, and that first page of results is beginning to look better and better.
Frankly, I’m skeptical that Google or Bing or Yahoo or even The Amazing Kreskin can find 79,200,000 of anything in 0.21 seconds. As my amazing math skills just demonstrated, proving that there actually are 79,200,000 hits would be beyond difficult.

What does Google expect to gain from its lies? The truth is out there, but where? The temptation to Google the answer is tempting.
