Val was probably just looking for an excuse for a bender (I haven't tried that one yet. Strained silence can be filled with a discussion of the merits of method acting. Takes the edge off when the intervention starts to get uncomfortable).
The thing I wonder about with Google is those little sales banners in the right margin of my gmail inbox. They have a nice data mining tool picking apart my notes. A harmless/shameless attempt to sell products? Well, sometimes you write stuff (for example, I had a thread going with my brother about inflation, torture, and some current and former members of the federal administration), and the ad banners disappear. I have no doubt that that the machine that mines text was still humming away there in the background... Maybe I should include the words "refrigerator" and "price" in my rant emails.
I haven't seen The Dark Knight yet, though I'd like to.
