I was doing some research on Sammy Davis Jr. using Wikipedia and Amazon earlier today. Below is a screenshot of the related searches Amazon offered me when I searched for “Mr. Bojangles”.

In case you were wondering, ooooooooooooooooo (that’s 17 o’s) brings up 4 results, the top result being:

ooooooooooooooooo (Pamphlet)
~

That looks like a pretty hefty pamphlet. Surprisingly there are no customer reviews.

oooooooooooooooooo (that’s 18 o’s) brings up only one result (which is also the fourth result of the search above):

Indian Depredations in Utah; Memorial of the Legislative Assembly of Utah Territory, Praying for an Appropriation to Pay for Indian (Paperback)

This one get’s into the search results because it looks like the OCR went haywire on page 14 and started spitting out gobbledygook:

And again, no reviews. Anyone read either of these?

The Wall Street Journal‘s Law Blog had a humorous post on Monday, sarcasticly entitled “Our Tech-Savvy Supreme Court“, about how our Supreme Court Justices are essentially Luddites ruling on issues involving technology. The best quote being:

Chief Justice John Roberts asked what the difference was “between email and a pager?”

I had never heard of “The Axis Of Awesome” until about 10 minutes ago. Musical comedy acts are usually pretty bad because you need talent in both music and comedy. These guys obviously have a musical ear and a knack for comedic timing.
