In this week’s Search In Pictures, here are the latest images culled from the web, showing what people eat at the search engine companies, how they play, who they meet, where they speak, what toys they have and more.


I thought we start today with taking care of some business. So before you sit down to read this, go do your thing, come back and let me know if you saw this ad when you get back.

You know what they say about marketing? Location, location, location. And Ask.com found the best location.

Speaking of Ask.com ads, you know about those billboards all over the place. Now, I wonder where this billboard can be found.

Back to the previous Ask.com ad, the one with the toilet. I bet you, seriously bet you, that you find some of that waste in this manhole.

Time to clean things up, so I decided to dial my good friend – Pope Google.

Yes, the towel does come in handy.

Ever wonder how Pope Google travels?

He was recently been spotted at Google’s Law Office:

Honestly, I don’t know if that is Google’s law office, but if they did have a law office, I would imagine it looked like that.

You would think the folks in a law office would be serious at work. Wouldn’t you? Well, not this one. Several Google lawyers were spotted starring oddly at this picture:

Yea, it gets even weirder. Soon after, they started to see Google colors spinning in circles. It looked something like this:

Enough with Google! How about some Yahoo!

The Yahoo folks were at a baseball game and noticed this cool Yahoo ad on the field.

Unfortunately, they figured out that a 404 response, is not so great.

So then one of the Yahoo guys took out this hammer to hit another…

They then broke out into an all man fight, here are a couple pictures from the large Yahoo war.

But then they heard a very important person was coming, so they had to stop playing games.
489335963 2335e47346

Yes, that is the PM of Singapore.

So to rejoice, they brought in some cake and ice cream:

Let the Yahoo snails loose (yes, Yahoo has these snails all over):

472027240 8f638d7b3a

And hired Taylor Hicks to perform:

The thing is, someone got too excited and decided to graffiti up the hallways over at Yahoo!

So they flew Google Pope back to Yahoo to clean it up.

But the best moment from this week, in all honesty, was Gary & Lisa Price’s wedding in Chicago on Sunday. Danny, Chris and I were honored and privileged to share in Gary and Lisa’s most joyous day. Mazol Tov Lisa and Gary, Mazol Tov from all of us!

Good weekend everyone!
