Use Google to * Yourself

In bored moments, I sometimes wish that Google had a "Just show my some random interesting thing" button in addition to its "I'm feeling lucky" button. It doesn't, but if you're after something relatively random and occasionally worthy of a chuckle, Google is your still friend.
Google's search facilities allow you to include wildcards in your searches. You can't just search for "*", but you can make seed phrases. It's often quite strange what the top hit is. Here are a couple, and their top hits as of today,
- "There is a * in my *" — There is a carrot in my ear.
- "I can't believe I * a whole *" — I can't believe I wasted a whole decade.
And so on...
Certainly a silly time waster, but if you hopefully you won't waste a whole decade.
