The problem with Google

I was flipping around channels tonight, and I blew past some nature show at about 90 miles per hour. All I heard was a single word, "Cheetahs..." As it hung in the air I thought to myself, "...never prosper. Say, wait a minute...I may be on to something here. Cheetahs never prosper... Yes, yes, that's it -- Cheetahs never prosper!!! Brilliant!"

I immediately wanted to turn "Cheetahs never prosper" into a headline on some ridiculous blog post. Before doing so, however, I Googled the phrase, "Cheetahs never prosper," just to be sure it was original with me.


It wasn't. There were lots and lots and lots of hits.

Damn you, Google! (shakes fist)

Anyway, I'm going to be taking a mini-break from blogging...just four or five days. Nothing like when I went to the UK. (The blogosphere breathes a HUGE sigh of relief.) My blog-posts have been getting a little weird, anyway (have you noticed?), so the break will probably do me good.
