A friend of mine recently started using the Google-powered voice recognition on his Android to send text messages. It's not perfect, but decent enough for sending quick missives while on the go. A couple of weeks ago I sent him an SMS asking him when he'd be getting off work. After a minute, he texts back:
heading home now call you later LOL POOP
He swears he didn't say that last part. At all. I was inclined to disbelieve him, but after watching some of these videos, I don't know. Maybe the big G is finally sapient enough to develop a very weird sense of humor. (BOOGERS) posted by Rhaomi at 7:24 PM on September 29, 2010 [8 favorites]

Is the entire remaining 9 minutes him saying PIZZA?
Well, since youtube videos can be 15 minutes long now it could be worse. posted by cjorgensen at 8:06 PM on September 29, 2010

I've watched 1 minute. Is the entire remaining 9 minutes him saying PIZZA?
Well, he gets some water halfway through. And then a few seconds later there's an incongruous laughing sound from off camera. So you have that to look forward to.
This is kind of like that Jonathan Coulton/John Hodgman hobo song from a couple years ago, except if Jonathan Coulton hadn't showed up and all the hoboes were named "Pizza." posted by penduluum at 8:28 PM on September 29, 2010 [1 favorite]
It's a shame the video doesn't have automatic transcriptions turned on. I think I am not completely clear on some of the words the star uses at some points during the video. posted by haykinson at 9:19 PM on September 29, 2010
after about the 30 second mark and it got weird, i looked at the video time and thought "i really hope this is 10 minutes of 'pizza'". wish granted!
i'm pretty sure the incongruous laughing sound was the audio from the double rainbow video.
the top 2 comments are I like the part when he says "pizza" and I like the part where he says "Pizza". go where! posted by mexican at 9:32 PM on September 29, 2010

Please don't say that. That's just a cruel and unnecessary idea you're throwing around there. Cut it out. posted by Skygazer at 10:41 AM on September 30, 2010
