Is Google broken?

Google newsgroup searches are definitely bust at the moment.

Again, are you sure that's not just the adult filter kicking in?

And because of a glitch, you are still getting paid? You are Milton and I claim my 5000 0.1p round downs from all business transactions.

I was going to mention that, but thought it might be a bit obscure. That said, I've got it on my USB pen drive, so might sit and watch it this afternoon.

Wikipedia says:

Boogle is the collective noun for weasels.

A Boogle [1]is most commonly formed during the mating and whelping seasons as weasels tend to be solitary animals; even then, reproductive pairing and boogle formation is usually temporary. Females may be bred by more than one male however mating is restricted entirely within a females native boogle. Mating typically occurs in mid- to late summer.

wikipedia says

In general use, a ferret is a domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo). Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae (weasels) also have the word "ferret" in their common names, including the endangered black-footed ferret. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European polecat, the Steppe polecat, or some hybrid of the two.

Oh dear.

I've been spelling ferret wrong.

My dyslexia never bothered me until I went to a toga party dressed as a goat.

Are they telling me I'm too old?

Are they reserving it just for kids now?
