Google’s Sense of Humor

I just now noticed that Google has a News service where you can check in for current events or search for old news. It’s still in beta testing (what ever happens to alpha testing, or gamma?) so their FAQ attempts to calm users’ fears and facilitate them in their difficulties. It also is very funny. Here are a couple of questions:

Who edits the Google News homepage? One of the headlines is totally out of whack.

I just did a search, and I wasn’t happy with the results. Who should feel my wrath?

I think I see a problem with your grouping technology. One of these things is not like the others.

How could you leave out Lemur News Digest?

How do I find everything the Prosimian Times wrote about Gentle Lemurs in the last month?

Haven’t we all asked ourselves that very question?
