Google vs. Yahoo

So, you know on Google how there is a search button and a "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. I've always wondered what that last one was, but never really got around to using it. So, today I thought I might test it out, by typing in "today is" and seeing what comes up.

It has taken me to a website. And it says...

"Today is...
Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Julian: 2455361
Day of Year: 164
Hebrew: 1st of Tamuz, 5770
Islamic: Sunday 1 Rajab 1431 A.H.

Chinese Year: 4708 Tiger (Metal-Tiger-27-29)
Chinese Lunar: Jia Wu Day, Ren Wu Moneth, Geng Tin Year
Chinese Solar: Day 2, Fifth Month, Geng Yin Year"

That sounds pretty intense that it would know this, and probably tell me what's going on tomorrow, tomorrow.

It also gives Quote of the Day: "The most effective way to do it, is to do it." -- Amelia Earhart
And Nature Quote of the Day: "Every drop in the ocean counts" --Yoko Ono
And Funny Quote of the Day: "Birth was the death of him." -- Samuel Beckett
And Love Quote of the Day: "Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction." -- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

This website tells me there is no holiday today, but there are birthdays:
Mary-Kate Olsen (1986)
Sam Adams (1973)
Deniece Peterson (1968)
Jeff Brehaut (1963)
Bo Donaldson (1953)

And there are some deaths, how sad:
(1977) Tom C Clark
(1972) Clyde L Mcphatter
(1954) Nikolai Obouhov
(1749) Jan F van Bloemen
(1612) Charles van Croij

And some facts, This Day in History:

(1995) Indians' Dennis Martinez no hits Balt 11-0
(1996) Freeman in Montana give up to FBI after 81 days
(1995) New Jersey Devils beat Philadelphia Flyers, to go to their 1st Stanley Cup finals
(1994) Chicago Cub 2nd baseman Ryne Sandberg, retires due to poor play, he forfeits $15.7 million of his $25 million contract
(1994) Don Mattingly plays 1st base, 1,469 game for Yankees (2nd most)

Wow, those were boring facts... So here is your Daily Readings

"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who maintains covenant loyalty with those who love him and keep his commandments, to thousand generations." -- Deuteronomy 7:9 (NRSV)

Oh, and also, the current moon:
Waxing Crescent
3% of Full


So, you know on MLIA, how there is a Google vs. Yahoo war, well, let's check out what Yahoo has to say (Besides that I have 20 unread messages.) I typed in "today is" and up comes, as the first choice, a Wikipedia link. Yeah, yeah, "Today's date is June 13, 2010. It is a Sunday." Blah blah.

"Today may refer to:
Current events
Present, the time this is perceived directly, often called now."
(But even as I say now, it's already in the past.)

It gives a list of songs and albums titles "Today." They need new imaginations I suppose?

I think Google wins this. Wikipedia link was boring, thanks Yahoo, try again.

But let's test this out... When I go to Yahoo and type in "Yahoo is..." It finishes with "stupid." When I go to Google is says, "Yahoo is better than Google." Which one wins? Boston, can you help me decide which one wins?
