I had not seen this one before. How long has this been around? I can't believe CollegeHumor.com was the first to find this.

Definitely both weird and creepy... although quite funny with swear words!

ooooo, might be a good way too see what G thinks are related terms for writing articles

WTF!?!?!  Damn, I knew I was hanging around here for some reason other than hearing you fuckers whine and bitch about how much you weigh.

Thanks, Bill. I owe you dinner.

Forgot about that.

I will say that my experiments with slightly less obvious keywords than types of alcohol and types of dogs did not yield very useful results.

It works well for a quick, self-storing kw research scratchpad --which is perfect for my work habits. But, you're right, you need to know kws and kw combos to really make any use of it.  Except for foreign-language phrases. Mine churned up a bunch of UK English and German kws right away.

I remember seeing this a couple months ago in an article about various other Google Drive tricks similar to this. I will see if I can dig up that article.

thanks drcool you just cost me a dinner! 

I knew this one couldn't have been something new though. I'm going to replace my old Google Sets bookmark with that blog post now.

yeah, something to do with one of the old Google Labs experiments.  Google Lists or Groups or something like that.  Was seen as a keyword research tool for semantic relationships for a while.
