Hey, Lazypants, Let Me Google That For You


I realize this is old news, but alas my colleagues are a little slow on the uptake, so perhaps this news is not so old? JUST in case, let me share this heavenly piece of sass (and you can thank me later).


The problem:

It happens often. A person asks you a question, when in fact, they should be asking google the question. Cutting out the middle-man is obviously not something that interests this person, or they are just lazy, or they think you are very smart and hold inane bits of information right in the front of your skull at all times. Whatever the reason, you don't know the answer but you know that the internet does!


The solution:

Let Me Google That For You, a wonderful little service that lives at: http://lmgtfy.com/.

Let's say that somebody asks you the age of Connie Culp, the face-transplant lady who was shot in the face by her apparently very charming husband. Unless you're crafting a thesis on the now-hamburger eatin' Connie, then there's no reason that you'd have this information on-hand. Instead of googling FOR the lazypants who asked you this, go to http://lmgtfy.com/ and type in "how old is connie culp" and then send lazypants the resulting link: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+old+is+connie+culp%3F. A helpful demonstration will ensue, teaching lazypants how to find information on the internet. Problem solved.
