Let Me Google That For You!

I know you guys are gonna dig this.

A new employee pointed this website out to me the other day. www.lmgtfy.com
It is an acronym for "Let Me Google That For You" and here is how it works:
  1. A time-wasting codbag asks you a question they could have easily looked up themselves. In my recent case it was "What is the size (motor amps) of the $0.99 vacuum cleaner you are selling?
  2. Type in a search term, click a button and it produces a short web link.
  3. Copy/Paste the link and send it to your codbag.
  4. When they click the link a Google screen opens in their browser, the mouse moves to the search field, slowly types in the search term you entered, and the mouse clicks the "Google Search" button. Half a second later, Ta-Da, the same freeking Google results you would have gotten are now produced for the idiot who asked you the question.
Lets take a look at the process at work; shall we?

Codbag question: What is the size (motor amps) of this Vacuum?

Answer: Here is a link to a bunch of information on this item: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=hoover+duros

Its beautiful in its simplicity.
Enjoy!
