Once More Into the Breach…

I was looking forward to this little experiment where the entire class has to Google something at the same time, and then post the results. I was also a little apprehensive. I mean, what if I got another search result pertaining to Vampires like what happened in class when I Googled good old Abe Lincoln? I’m sure I would be mortified. I’m really not one of those Twilight girls. Though, I did enjoy Interview With the Vampire. Mmmmm… Brad Pitt.

Anyway… I was relieved when my search for Calvin Coolidge (The Sphinx of the Potomac and our 30th president) yielded no mention of sparkling, blood-sucking creatures. However, I was not expecting the first result to be his wikipedia page. I suppose my expectations were a little naive. After all, as I stated in class, America is a country of convenience. And what is more convenient than wikipedia? Everything is summed up nicely and divided into sections with helpful headers and there’s even a picture sometimes! It boggles my mind that www.calvin–coolidge.org/ was the FOURTH result. I suppose this means I should stop checking wikipedia as a default and start perusing more “scholarly” sites.

And I leave you with one of the photos that came up in my search. Warning: it’s a little graphic, and I don’t intend to harm sensitive eyes. If you’re offended, I sincerely apologize and will continue to sit here snickering to myself…
