Pupna Fetch Engine

February 28, 2005 2:40 AM

Pupna is "the search engine puppy that retrieves EXACTLY what you are searching for (and absolutely nothing else!)" ;-)

This is a simple yet rather humorous search engine parody - are there any other good ones out there?

Hmm - was that funny? Are you taking happy pills? Do I need a sense-of-humour-transplant?

As soon as I read the first line of your post, I knew exactly what to expect - perhaps that's why I wasn't lolling and rotfling. Ah well...

It's a little funnier if you remember the days when every web tool was anthropomorphized and made adorable, to better usher the timid and easily startled into this confusing, scary world we call The Internet.

But not a lot funnier.

If you're up late, this is far more amusing that it would be if you're up early.

In either case, it's a nice chuckle before getting started on Monday.

If, like me, your first search happened to be of the word "BONIO" I can tell you that the result is f***ing hilarious.

Yeah, this Pupna is not-so-funny.

However, the link to PublicOpinion.com as a "friend" of Pupna is pretty bizarre/terrible/awesome. Forget blogs, i'm moving over to PublicOpinion.com! Pithy!

Big Calm - aha! Now that's more like it! At least that one brought a smile :-)

3. Does MentalPlex search read minds?

Don't be ridiculous. Mind-reading is impossible. MentalPlex technology senses electronic field variations created by concentrated thought and can interpret those field variations as broad categories of content. Mind-reading? Really now. We're talking about science here.

Heh!

which is more tedious: that search engine or me posting just because i thought it was such shite.

why is this even a parody? Parodies ... oh, I see, there are two definitions:
1 : a literary or musical work in which the style of an author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule
2 : a feeble or ridiculous imitation

Number two, then...

What's the deal with "izzle" speak? I never got how that isn't like Pig Latin. It really sounds like Snoop Dogg's in the third grade, which would explain why he can't spell his name.
