New MSN search feature!

This actually came out last week in honor of April Fool's Day, but I'm offering it up as this week's funny. MSN has created a pretty cute spoof search site when you can input people's names and create a customized search results page for them, based on some stereotypical generalizations from which you can choose. For instance, I identified myself as a "Gadget Toting Internet Cubicle Geek" (unfortunately a very accurate description) and my search results included this:

Citing ridiculous work hours, O'Shea's computer calls it quits
In a case believed to be the first of its kind, Eileen O'Shea's work computer has gone on strike. "At first the cursor kept dodging around," an angry O'Shea said. "Then it started spontaneously dropping into "hibernate" mode. It's just MALINGERING"....

You can email a link to the search results to your victim(s) of choice. Fun stuff!
