Yesterday I wanted to check how to successfully take a cutting. I went onto Google as I so often do, I got as far as......." How do I successfully........." and the computer suggested. ".....take an overdose." I was very shocked that this came up as the most popular question beginning the same as mine.

Just shows what you can find out, everything I never needed to know.

I did wonder if I should report it, but who to?

My suggested results from Google were

How do I successfully..
appeal a parking ticket
lose weight
run away from home

No mention of overdoses!

Yes, I got 'overdose' too. Can't see any point in complaining though, the Google computer just lists the most popular 'looked for' items. Sad times we live in! sad
