Writing: Looking for Ideas? Try Google

A quick pointer if you are looking for an idea, a plot for a short-story, or just some amusement. Use the technique outlined in Writer's Home Gym and input the words into Google's searchbox. Believe me, you will find wondrous things, and maybe an idea.

Give it a try. After inputting "scrap," "noodle," and "plant," I found out, that there is actually a noodle-plant (as in factory manufacturing noodles) for sale. Looking for some idea what your protagonist or antagonist might be doing the next couple of pages? Here you go. ;-)
