Shoppin' Silly, the Amazon Way! #2
We all know that websites,
especially sellers, use algorithms to analyze our transactions. They then tailor “suggestions” targeted to
our presumed buying practices.
But sometimes those
algorithms produce silly results!
Sure, Brahms is a “star”—one
of the “Three Bs” of music. But I bet
this was really suggested because Flint, the near-immortal recluse in Star
Trek: The Original Series’ “Requiem for Methuselah,” was actually
Johannes Brahms (and lots of other famous people) during his lifetime!
Or am I presuming too much sneakiness on Amazon’s
behalf?
Has watching 2001: A
Space Odyssey driven anyone to drink?
What does a pirate
hat have to do with Urban Legends?
See you on Monday for
more glory and madness!
