Googled for goofing. College kid outlandishly fakes contest submission, winning token prize for a valiant, if not silly, effort.
There must be some mistake. That fellow Chad obviously rode his bicycle past the young man's house. It's all right there in the photograph, as clear as day!

He probably got the shirt for "Dishonorable Mention."

The photo looks fine to me. Very funny, and good on Google.

When I was a kid I drew a picture of myself losing a tooth. I put it under my pillow and the next morning I found $.50 form the tooth fairy.
The tooth fairy is such a sucker.

Yay for this guy! I'm such a damn sucker for stick people. Just gloobed coffee all over myself laughing. Reminds me of the time in high school when I drew stick-person cartoons ("The Adventures of Stickboy: Stickman goes to Bismarck, ND," to be specific) all over a math analysis exam because I knew I would fail it if I tried to answer the questions. I got a D- instead of an F.

The guy who founded Google has a really interesting sense of humour. He recently turned up on the new version of To Tell the Truth wearing the same t-shirt that this kid won. If he had anything to do with the contest, I could see how something this outlandish might "win." It's funny in any case!

Google is cool. Wonder if they're fun to work for.
Well, last time I checked their listing of job openings, they were looking for an in-house chef.
That sounds pretty cool to me.
