I use the Metacrawler search engine, ostensibly because it checks five
other search engines and is faster than all the others as well. Anyhoo,
I just finished the book Alcohol and the Writer by Donald Goodwin, and
tossed his name in the search engine and what ad should correspond to
that keyword (probably because it's a name) but one for Lycos which
reads: "JD Salinger, The cast of What's Happening, Snipe, 'Isaac' from
the Love Boat, Mikey, Bigfoot. Yep. They're all in here. Lycos
Peoplefind."

I wonder if the lawyers will let that one go through...
