So I've been introduced to this website called letmegooglethatforyou.com. Immediately, it made me think of my friend Dan Johnson over at ihatesushi.blogspot.com.

Basically, it's a site for those random people who always come up to you and ask those questions that make you, as the person receiving those questions, think "Why don't you just google it?" Being the nice/kind/helpful/always available friend that you are, though, you don't straight up tell them that. Instead, now you have a more...passive-aggressive way of doing that with "Let me GOOGLE that for you" dot com.

Anytime you find yourself needing to google something simple for a friend, just go to this website, and type in the search bar what it is they are trying to find. For instance:

"How many planets are in the solar system?"

Once you hit enter, they will give you a link at the bottom that you can copy, and from there on you can give it to your friend. When they click on the link, they will be brought to the "Let me google that for you" website, where it will play a short video of the same subject you typed into the search bar, and it will say "Was that so hard?" before giving them the real google searches.

Hence: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=How+many+planets+are+in+the+Solar+System%3F

You can also make this a TinyURL in order to be more inconspicuous.

Now, if this isn't harsh-sarcasm at its best, then I don't know what is, and the reason I thought of Dan - if you're wondering - is because I'm sure there are plenty of Personal Space Gnomes out there that he could definitely use this for.

I know that such a discovery doesn't really deserve an entire blog post by itself, but since not many people know about Twitter or Tumblr, or anything else that I could use to make this a quick post, I'll just do it here.

Also, I'm still alive.
