Wow... I was searching through Google (especially the Google Labs stuff), COOL! I never knew there was so much stuff on my fav search engine.
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

I'm writing a term paper on the Bible right now, so I put in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It lists the other books of the Bible, with a catch: "Romans, Ephesians, Galatians... Numbers, Deuteronomy, Robert."
Robert? Did I miss something? *flips back to Bible, searching desperately for the Book of Robert*Lime roots and treachery!

The 4 names are books of the Bible AND Christian names! So the set gave you examples of BOTH!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Well, screw you. I think it's funny.
Of course, my humor threshold is not very high right now, but that's beside the point.Lime roots and treachery!

I did a search with Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Qusay Hussein, Yasser Arafat, and Mohammed Atta.
Included in the group was the Queen Mother."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

OK, so I put in the names of a couple of Greek philosophers and the large list comes up as expected with the names of most Greek thinkers and some Romans and other classical authors. There is also a contemporary translator.
But there's someone called "Mark Forstater" in the list. As far as I can find out this person is famous for only one thing: appearing in Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. WTF?
Perhaps there is an absurdity subroutine in the search.Only feebs vote.

Google Sets simply finds terms that co-occur often on webpages, it's not some magical program that actually knows what you're talking about.
