Ask.com's Search Predictions are Comedy Gold
Posted by Adam Frucci at 3:55 AM on November 3, 2007
The folks over at Crave discovered that Ask.com's new search algorithm gives you some pretty questionable suggestions when you type in the beginning of questions. To answer your question, getting preggers in a hot tub all depends on how virile you are. Consider that a challenge. Another challenge: find the most ludicrous suggestion it gives and post it in the comments. [Ask.com via Crave]

limewire is it legal
is it legal to download works from peer to peer

"what is the best..." gives you "what is the best search engine". i clicked on that one, and in the sidebar i had a "narrow your search" option. the first suggestion there was "will you suck me"

@mlebarron: the 'can a man' version is just as funny:
can a man get a yeast infection
can a man discipline his wife
can a man get pregnant
can a man have a baby
can a man carry a baby
can a man get a yeast infection?
can a man get pregnant?
can a man have a yeast infection
CAN A MAN GET A SHEEP PREGNANT
can a man love two women
so i think most ask.com patrons are most worried that thier mean are carrying children and yeast infections while impregnating sheep...
my favorite is still 'can you eat a' which returns 'can you eat and breath at the same time?' at the bottom. kinda makes you wonder how that person has continued to live without asphxiating themselves up to this point...

Ok, this is getting annoying, I can*t type apostrophes in text boxes because Firefox tries to open a page search whenever I do type an apostrophe and that is after I had to disable the auto page search because it wasn*t letting me type in text boxes.

Does j: "Does Jeeves have an evil twin?"
Je: Interestingly Jeeves rates higher as a search term than Jennifer Aniston?
Nearly every search term comes up with suggestions about pregnancy. I can only assume the only people who use Ask are people who are, want to be, or don't want to be pregnant...
