I was interested in large, shoulder-mounted, anti-tank weapons.
Imagine my surprise when I searched for "huge bazookas"!

I was building an old Geocities site (yeah, that far back) and wanted to highlight popular links, so I searched for "new.gif", which was ok, and then "hot.gif", which wasn't

A couple of fond memories spring to mind immediately.
A friend of my mother's was trying to buy rolls of fabric online. You can buy 1/4 of a length of fabric, at full width or you can buy 1/4 of the width of the roll at the whole length. In each case, it's a quarter of a roll. The unfortunate term used for the narrow one is "Fat quarter" - mum's friend was suitably shocked when consulting google with the term's plural.
The other one was the exploits of a teacher at a local college. During the presentation one day of
France, she'd decided to do a google for 'Paris' while the computer was outputting to the video-projector. Hilarity and red-faces ensued.

I'm never embarrassed, no matter what I find. These are just the moments when I raise an eyebrow and am more than ever convinced that I come from another planet. Unfortunately I can't recall how I got here or where I came from.

May be you can google "where I came from". I guess you might get some NSFW results there. If you know what I mean.

My ex-wife's second husband (an American) managed to keep a straight face, saying he had been looking for recipes from home, when she discoverd the search results for "cream pie" on the PC. She actually believed him!

We've got to do better at work, and I don't have the time or interest to write anything. We have a clever lady in the office who is willing to figure out how to use a decent web development tool set, but she has no interest in becoming a guru. Does someone know of a packaged solution that can handle a small website, dashboard, calendar, event schedule, etc, that a non-developer can maintain easily? It doesn't have to be free, but it does have to be easy.

You might find some usable samples on asp.net[^] - they have a number of ready to use websites that may contain some of what you are looking for.

Great idea, Mark. I'd forgotten that site, but back in the day when I was actually writing websites, I learned a bunch from www.asp.net!

I thought SharePoint was made exactly for such purposes?

We had Sharepoint on our server at one point; no idea where it went. But back then I never found anyone - even here - who had any idea what to do with it, what it was good for, or how to use it. But that's generally what I need, a Sharepoint portal that a non-techie can easily populate and maintain.

The multi-phasic wrongness of your statement is offensive on so many levels, the entire space-time continuum is wretching.

Unfortunately, even a developer will weep tears of blood trying to make it do anything more than that.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you want an out of the box solution it isn't bad. Customization is another kettle of fish.
