So the G1 got a system update today.

“Mardi Gras.” → mardi gras

I suppose it's obvious. But then, the best things so often are.

“... ♫ Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? ♪” → supercalifragilistic expialidocious

It can be a little tricky to use, mind. You don't speak into the phone like you do for a conversation;

“... 物の哀れ。” → illinois

you just speak at the phone, as though it were on speakerphone.

“GameFAQs.” → gamecocks

Which I suppose it actually is.

“Monomorphism.” → monomorphism

It's also a shiny new toy; I have little doubt that thousands of G1 owners are

“Epimorphism.” → ectomorphs

hammering Google's server with random phrases and fragments,

“In a galaxy far far away.” → in a galaxy far far away

bits of half-remembered poetry or song lyrics,

“While the evening is spread out against the sky —” → biodiesel industries houston skyline

or just random words.

“Unsophisticated.” → concert tickets

I suppose it's good practice for their recognition systems,

“Anechoic chamber.” → minnesota chamber

but given that people are just going to be playing around,

[very high-pitched] “Yay!” → yahoo

they're likely to pick up a fair amount of deliberate noise.

“Da da da, da dat-da-da da-dat-da-da da-dat-da da dat-da!” → joseph sylvester ga

(In every sense of the word.)

[random yawning] → where in the middle

[whistled tone] → phone

[snap of the fingers] → No matches found
