google voice

my dad’s best friend, D, left him this VM :
hello, it’s me. just calling you back. i was at the range, i wasn’t able to answer your phone call.  bye bye

which google voice translated as:
hello, it’s, maybe just calling you back. i was looking rentals mammograms your couple bye bye.

– – – – they thought it’d be fun to explore this word sequence – – – –

new VM:

i was looking rental mamagrams, your couple. bye bye

and translation:

i was looking rental, my, my question. your couple 55.

ah. google fail. <D does have a thick philadelphia accent>

surprisingly naive

my brother shared this e-mail from my father to him, remarkable to think with a son working at google he wouldn’t know how very fake this is.

subject: I got this test probably from google

Lunch in San Francisco – Chapter III

Had lunch at Google, San Francisco office – the first and last photos are views from the window while eating lunch –

boring lunch, crab legs, lobster salad, mussels, peperoni pizza – wow, does Google need  a pediatrician?
