The Bings made it possible for me to study at Oxford. :wub:

Bing Wing however, was a bit creepy and useless.

Of course if they would have named it Byng that would at least have given the name some class...

No, and finding amusing pictures about Botswana on google is more difficult than I thought.  If only bing were online.   :(

With this engine, it is useful to truncate the querries from time to time pour encourager les autres...

Should have named it "Bang".

Far more appropriate as a verb for what most internet users will likely enter searches for.

e.g. "I heard she's featured in Maxim again...I'm going to "Bang" Jennifer Love Hewitt!"
