I typed "The Men Who Stare at Goats" into Google. Google then proceeded to read my mind and pulled up reviews for the film, which is exactly what I was looking for. At the bottom of the screen, just above the search bar and in clear view, was the following statement:
The selection and placement of reviews on this page were determined automatically by a computer program. No movie critics were harmed or even used in the making of this page.
That is the Google that, if Google so chose, could issue the command "jump" and we would all watch helplessly as our computers leapt from our desks and tumbled to the ground. The same Google with a net worth bigger than the GDPs of 138 of the world's nations. I love that they can still have a sense of humor.
