Google Totally Has My Number
I judge my relative worth as a human being by the ads that Google puts in that right hand column next to my emails.
Google has software (or one really bored guy) that searches the main topics of your emails and puts appropriate ads next to them, so that you might be enticed into clicking on something of interest.
Some of my favorites from recent emails are:
* Cat Video - takes your cat on a virtual walk
* Banquet Rooms at CoCo's
* Hannah Montana's IQ = 122
* Play Fish Tycoon
* Drunken Unicorn Tickets
* Free Chuck-E-Cheese
The best is the last one. I have to wonder, is this, like, as in "Free Tibet"? Is he being held somewhere against his will? Will Amnesty International become involved?

Those ads are often pretty spot-on for me, like the time I got the PregnancyTracker ad on the DAY I found out i was pregnant, or maybe it was the day before I was sure. And it gives me a lot of coupon links for diapers and such which is so me.
ok, that drunken unicorn tickets was such a let down... i really thought it was an ad for unicorns gone wild. :(
which means i have to let chuck e cheese out now... durn.
