    If I see Google in a show/movie I think nothing of it, but if I see Bing, I know it's product placement.

    The only people who have ever used the 9 setting on a toaster are people who want to see what bread toasted on 9 looks like.

    when ever i see bing it is always zoomed right in on the screen, like it is product placement. When ever it is google, you often can barely see it on screen.

    So you are probably right about bing=product placement.

    I don't recall a movie taking place at Bing's HQ. Where as Google has. And it's an awesome movie BTW.

    In the very early 1900's several U.S. states had enacted laws that required margarine to be colored pink. This was the result of a lobby by dairy farmers (who had an interest in selling real butter) to make the cheaper margarine seem less appetizing to customers and hamper the sales of margarine.

    If you want people to think you're smart, just say "sorry English isn't my first language" then type something out in perfect English.

    Polar bears are the only animal that will hunt humans for food.

    Be careful and watchful next time you are in the arctic

    Spilling a full drink you just paid for is the adult equivalent of letting go of a balloon.

    While polar bears are the worlds largest land predator, they are NOT the only animal that will and have consider humans as food.

    "Several animals can and do prey on humans. Animals that have been reported to attack humans for food include three of the four big cats (lion, tiger, and leopard; jaguars are not known to eat people, but will attack them if disturbed), the American Black Bear, the polar bear (world's largest land predator), wolves (especially the Grey Wolf), jackals, large crocodiles and alligators (especially the saltwater and Nile crocodile), large sharks (especially the great white shark, tiger shark, and bull shark), and the Komodo dragon."

    And my personal favorite: humans (ex: Jeffery Dahmer)

    Tarantulas can survive for up to two years without eating. They could be hiding under your bed waiting for their next meal. Sleep well tonight.

    Humans do NOT have leftovers or vestiges in their anatomy or during embryonic development. While during development there maybe some resemblance to leftovers, these organs purposes are clear and defined. Without them we would not develop.
