Nice! It actually gives a fairly good picture of how I view myself/am
viewed (since I am the source of several of the sentences). I especially
liked "anders sandberg is right". Seems Google likes me.

What I like about this and http://labs.google.com/glossary and
http://labs.google.com/sets is that they are a taste of semantic
searching. I want to be able to ask the net "What is X, and is it
dangerous?" and get an answer.
