It's also fun to play with different topics, rather than different sites. Sadly, I think discussing the results of such searches would quickly drop this thread into the politics forum.

Sweet. Google just got the dumb-ass algorithm Microsoft Word used 15 years ago and applied it to the internet. Syllable length and sentence length are pretty much it, with a dash of word repetition.

You guys are fucking retarded.  Google rates each page separately.  So just adding to just big words and long sentences to just this page isn't going to do shit to F13 rating.  Now, going backing and bumping every thread with...   why so serious? why so serious? why so serious?

You can thank Winston Churchill for that last one. It was his response to a woman who told him not to end his sentences with prepositions.
