Okay. Okay. It’s old hat. Antediluvian even. But at the end of 2006 I once again salute Google. Above I wrote “all men are created equal.” I felt confident in my wording, but only 99.4% confident. (And understood the dire consequences of screwing up.) So, of course, I went to Google. And there before my eyes appeared, sans reindeer: “Results 1 – 10 of about 802,000 for ‘all men are created equal.'” As usual I “hung around” for about 15 minutes chasing various strands—after I’d gotten my confirmation.
I do love that. Thanks, Googlers one and all.
