IT'S HERE! Stupid Artificial Intelligence
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

The Internet can be a very funny place.

Sometimes humorous things are deliberately posted online, like footage of that wacky Britney superfan Chris Crocker.

At other times legitimate, genuinely serious stuff can inadvertently be even funnier. Ooops!

For example, not too long ago if you asked Google Maps for driving directions between "Las Vegas, NV" and "London, England" step 29 actually read "Enter water and swim 2,476 miles". Absolutely hysterical - somebody took the time to program those crazy instructions. Sadly, it has since been eliminated (another act of Google censorship?)

Get ready for some great news. Now something even goofier is hurling through cyberspace, and it launched right here from WebMD.

It appears that our knows-all, senses-all WebMD Symptom Checker has self-realized.

Artificial Intelligence run amuck. Be among the first and check this out:
  1. Go to the WebMD Symptom Checker

  2. Click START NOW

  3. Fill in form (doesn't really matter what you type) and click: SUBMIT

  4. Locate the Symptom Search text box above the androgynous human figure and type: TREMBLING (Check your spelling, it has to be precise!)
  5. Click GO and view your results.

I wouldn't dare spoil things for you, it's worth it.

Hmmm? What would happen if somebody typed in: BRITNEY ?

LOL. That WAS worth it. I won't give it away, either, but if you haven't clicked on that PLEASE do it. Too funny!

All I can say is, people are funny...or should I say "yummy"? ;-)
