A Google Search

Yesterday, that girl doubled a tapioca pudding recipe and ended up with a zillion gallons of tapioca pudding. We were swimming in the stuff.

“Do you think we can freeze tapioca pudding?” she asked as the cats paddled away.

“I’ll check the internet,” I suggested.

I grabbed my laptop, intending to write “Can tapioca pudding be frozen?” into my Google search box.  Following are the letter-by-letter top Google results that appeared as I typed my question into my laptop.  On the eighth character (counting one space between words) I found my answer.

Freezing tapioca pudding is fine, by the way.

Some canine tapeworms are zoonotic, which means that they can pass from dogs to humans.

Taylor Swift can sing and is incredibly generous with her fans and her time.

Wild turkeys can fly, but tend to stay on the ground for most part.

Following a “can I run it” thread will land you at computer game sites.

Candis Cayne is a somewhat mannish-looking woman for good reason.

Capital One and craigslist are commercial ventures.

Blank boxes generally yield nothing.
