    Could it be the other way around, and that the ads are being delivered based on keywords in the topics? That would be fairly easy to do, though I'm sure the ads do have at least a little influence (not that I see them).

    Bingo.

    For your banana, this convenient ruler. The above is 8 inches, or 127 calories.


    I wonder how many people will put their bananas up to the monitor for comparison. :tongue:


    If you did raise your hand now :)

    That's exactly how it works.

    ^^ This is true. The ads are delivered based on keywords. Just as when you for example do a search in google, you'll get ads targeted at you based on that. OR (creepy) say you look at a pair of shoes on a website, you could get an ad with those shoes targeted at you once you leave that website. Or on facebook, ads are delivered based on your interests and also what you type as comments or as your status. I work for an advertising firm (and even I find it creepy and intrusive)

    Sadly, my guess is that several people have gotten their monitors sticky already. . . .

    Cookies ( the kind stored in your computer - not the food- haha) is what feeds these ads. I think there are add-ons to firefox to prevent this but is it really that bothersome? Probably not. :)

    Uhhh no. Size does matter. For sure. I just never thought to pull out a ruler and measure them.

    I just love how sexual this seemed in my head. :laugh:



    omg i'm so glad it wasn't just me, i've been laughing my butt off at that! Immature moment! :laugh:

    I think the answer to this must be real cookies, but I'm not sure who we're supposed to give them to.
