for all you google haters


i opened up the mosaic section of the review this morning and was pleasantly surprised to find an article on gizoogle. as you may or may not have already guessed gizoogle is a search engine which provides results inspired (i guess you could say) by snoop dog lyrics. The site offers several pretty amusing variations on a traditional search engine; however, the one which is really worth trying out is the translation feature. Its pretty simple: you type in the URL of whatever site you want and gizoogle translates it into snoop speak. the translated sites tend to be a little explicit so if you are easily offended or simply lack a sense of humor then it's probably best if you don't check it out, otherwise...enjoy. feel free to post any particularly interesting sites you find.
