Search Party! Funny Google Searches

People Google the darndest things
One of the nicest things Squidoo provides for us lensmasters is a traffic stats page where we can track how visitors found our lenses--from email, blogs, and other Squidoo lenses to search engines like Yahoo and Google.
Don't know about anyone else, but nerd that I am, I've been fascinated by some of the searches that have landed folks on my lenses. Usually they make total sense. Sometimes I wonder wow, how did they get from that point A to my point B? (Although of course I'm glad they did!) And other times, a Google search phrase just tickle my funnybone.
Searches that get their quirks from language or grammar problems are not what I'm talking about here--'cause that would be mean. I'm thinking of other qualities...

the hyperfocused searcher
the overly ambitious searcher
the indecisive searcher
Let's see, I need a famous 19C French writer. Not sure which one. But I wanna either read about him or watch a video...or both. Not sure. Wait, what's this? Pretty pictures from Paris!
the candid searcher
oops! wrong lens
Share Your Funny Searches :-P
Lensmasters, give me the funny google phrase and the lens it took your searcher to, and I'll feature it here. (Play nice, please, and avoid grammar- or ESL-related humor.) Or share the goofiest thing you've ever searched on.

- Oh, I love this lens! I've asked this question in the Lensmaster Lounge from time to time.
Some of my favorite odd searches have been:
How tall is Medusa [yes, ancient Greek myths include dimensions!]
Why [oddly, a lens on kitemaking seemed to solve this person's existential dilemma]
Where to buy a pet aplysia [a species of sea slug]

- I just Googled "Why" & got, on the 1st 2 pgs--
"Why Nerds are Unpopular" (debatable, really)
"Why Won't God Heal Amputees?" :(
"This is why you're fat"
"Why work?"
Think I prefer kitemaking!

Spoofing Searching
What do you think of the Microsoft Bing commercials (above) about "search overload syndrome"? For me, it depends on my mood when they come on.
