Google adds another cool tool to search: Kevin Bacon

Forget using Google’s more powerful search operators, the best ones are the most fun ones. We’ve seen “tilt ” and “do a barrel roll ,” but over the past day or so, the company has added another cool new search operator: Bacon number.

No, it’s not a label that meatpacking companies assign to their pork products. It’s actually a new tool that calculates the connection between actors and actresses and the most famous actor never to have been nominated for an Academy Award.

Or as we know it: the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

To use it, type in the words “Bacon number” (without quotes), followed by an actor or actresses name. Google will come back with how closely he/she has been to Kevin Bacon.

Bruce Willis and Kevin Bacon may never have worked together, but they have both worked with Bill Murray. That means the connection is made between two films. The higher the number, the looser the connection.

Seagull Steals Video Camera

Funny video of how a seagull stole my GoPro, flew over the water in front of Golden Gate Bridge and how the camera incredibly managed to survive, recording everything!

‘Retired’ Washington County drug dog leads sheriff to suspected drug users during walk

LUBEC, Maine — Washington County Sheriff Donnie Smith was taking his two dogs for a walk last Sunday morning along a beach behind Lubec’s public school complex when Ginger, a “retired” drug-sniffing golden retriever, disappeared.

“She always stays right by my side, so I thought it was strange that she disappeared,” Smith said Tuesday. “I called her, but she didn’t come.”

While searching for Ginger, Smith spotted a pickup truck parked on a beachside dead-end road. Parked next to it, with one paw up on the driver’s door, was Ginger. “That’s her signal,” Smith said.

Smith said there were two men inside the cab of the pickup. Given Ginger’s behavior, he presumed they were doing drugs.

When Smith — unarmed and lacking a cellphone to call for backup — approached the vehicle he said he saw the two men using syringes to inject what was later determined to be morphine.

Smith talked the two men out of the truck and used one of the men’s cellphones to summon a deputy.
