NERD ALERT!

While watching SNL on Hulu.com this evening, I saw a Google Chrome commercial, the tagline of which was: "Search the web as fast as you think."  (Yes, I guess I'm giving them free advertising for telling y'all about this.)  The cool thing? aka the fannish bit?  The premise is that the whole commercial is a series of text blocks, in Google colors, which add up to just half of common phrases, things like:
Once upon
You had me at
Raining cats
etc.

You automatically found yourself filling them in, which was exactly what the advertisers wanted, to make it memorable and so on.

One of them, though, was "Sherlock."  Instead of thinking "Holmes," I kind of went, "John!"
