One flu over the cuckoo's nest A friend who shares my passion for tennis e-mailed me to inquire if I had some way of determining whom Jimmy Connors had played in the semifinals of the 1978 Wimbledon tournament.  Despite repeated Googling of various search terms, he had been unable to find the answer. After trying several other search engines, I determined that Connors' opponent had been Vitas Gerulaitis. I wonder what the NSA's search engine monitoring program would make of Gerulaitis as a search term.  Bush would probably think it's some variant of the avian flu. 12:54:38 PM    comment []
