[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder to myself: where did people get answers to all their inane questions before Google? I constantly google things I'm too embarrassed to ask other people and none of these things would have been in an encyclopedia. That must have sucked![/quote]

Haha, I know! In college (mid 90s) I told a hallmate (who I was friends with) that I did not like the chickpeas in the salad bar. She said there were no chickpeas in the salad bar, and what I thought were chick peas were actually garbanzo beans. I said I thought they were the same thing, and she said no, I was wrong. It was basically her word against mine, and I’d gone to a cruddy public high school! She enlisted 2 of our other (more worldly) friends on our hall to support her, and then they laughed at me for being a hick from the burbs. I argued back and we got in a big fight and I was never really friendly with them again. The garbanzo bean instigator went on to go to a really really good law school :) But holy overreaction on all of our parts!

So sometimes when I am using google, I think about how if it existed in 1993 then i might still be friends with my freshman year hallmates! :)[/quote]
