Google spoils all my fun

In principle it ought to be a good thing that, when you think of a really appalling pun, you can type it into Google and find out whether it's original or not. In practice, it so often isn't that it's just disheartening.

Results 1 – 8 of about 10 for "paypal infallibility".

I think this is an update of Nietzsche's remark that ""Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory is too good."

It was a truly awful pun. The VatICANN will be on to you for that.

*snork* ROFL. Well, tenth to the pun isn't so bad. Of course, sometimes it doesn't work; I tagged a friend 'loquaitious of borg' which I thought was very clever, but came across it in a web comic the next day.

It's some kind of cosmic law that by solving some problems google makes more problems; omniscience can suck :)
