I am not stoned enough nor do I expect to be in order to even ponder this question let alone an answer that can surpass WTF?

**BOSS1** · 10-10-2007, 03:24 AM

**Marshal** · 10-10-2007, 03:55 AM

**mrsoul** · 10-10-2007, 04:01 AM

So true... and the internet would simply grind to a halt...

I would gladly offer 1$ for google.com to get it off their hands.

Cuz I'm a nice guy!

How likely is it that they would be arrested just purely because of the huge reliance placed upon that site to get elsewhere?

Well ... at that point buying some Yahoo! stock would be a good idea

I'd be fucked

or not

**PR_Kris** · 10-10-2007, 07:33 AM

Schoolchildren would suddenly be unable to spell and hand-in plagarized assignments... national GPA's would drop to "Duhhhh"

**Doctor Dre** · 10-10-2007, 08:01 AM

Yahoo stock, here I come

**SleazyDream** · 10-10-2007, 08:06 AM

it would effect a lot of people, but life would go on

**martinsc** · 10-10-2007, 08:07 AM

i guess i'd be kinda fucked....

**MediaGuy** · 10-10-2007, 08:19 AM

Yahoo?

MSN (argh, they'd have to improve)?

Who cares really it's just a big search engine... a good one, with lots of cool Lab stuff... but really... they'd have to deal with lawsuits, is all.

edit: wait, gmail would still be up?

well, if they switched it off, they wouldn't have a 404 page... connections would just time out

**gornyhuy** · 10-10-2007, 08:27 AM

I heard they are totally planning on doing that. I buy high ranked google pages for cheap-- sell them now before they are worthless!
