This actually reminded me that I've had an idea for a gameshow for a while. My wife thinks it's ridiculously geeky though. Here is what I emailed to the Google business suggestions contact:

Do you know how game shows like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire have "phone a friend?" And how often the phoned friend is obviously using the available time to Google the answer? I thought why not have Google start a game show where contestants sit at a computer and Google? Call it Google-Against-the-Clock or something. Maybe even pit Google against other search engines as a contest. I know. Probably too geeky, but, hey, I'd watch it.

Should be an easy one, but I couldn't resist because I love the possibilities it suggests:

Who was Francis Coppola's first choice to direct Apocalypse Now? The guy first planned to shoot it in the rice fields of central California and later switched plans in favor of the Philippines on a $2 million budget in 16mm using real soldiers.
