Once when doing a Google search on a topic I was researching, I stumbled across the resume of one of my clients, which linked to her home page, which in turn linked to her blog. Her blog was mostly a personal diary, but she also talked quite a bit about work and I got a fair amount of inside information. None of which was particularly useful, unfortunately. I felt weird reading it and didn't tell any of my coworkers about it, but hey, if she's putting it up there it's public information.

Google searches have also shown me that there are quite a few other people with my name, including one who works in the same line of business as me.

this is a guy I found thru a google search 3+ years ago. above is his "weird but true" website, which I originally stumbled onto. I was so intrigued by it, I wrote him an e-mail. Now were great buddies and have been guests in eachothers homes, etc. Incredible person.

In a similar vein to the indexed photos, I found this page of bootleg Beatles covers a while back. I'm not a particularly *huge* Beatles fan, but I always enjoy the surprises one finds with a page of non-descript links as above.

I was once googling for some information on the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics and found the Transactional Interpretation instead.

It's an interesting interpretaion that accounts for the spookiness of quantum mechanics and shows that the collapse of the quantum state doesn't depend upon intelligent observation. That is if you allow for quantum event propagation backwards in time.

Hope you guys/girls don't mind a stranger visiting and posting? Anyway probably the strangest thing I have found on google was when I searched for the word webpage.
