The United States of Autocomplete (find your state)

[pokerfan]

Ever wonder what a map of the U.S. would look like if all of the states’ names were altered to match the suggestions offered by Google’s autocomplete search algorithm? Wonder no longer...

7. thanks, but too late

I could figure out everything else on the 50 states except that one. I thought for sure Montana would be "Montana, Hannah"

I didn't put together Montana Fishburne & Lawrence Fishburne until after googling it

6. LOL...Hawaii Five O

Now I've got that damn song in my head... the one that gave every HS drummer in the 70's a couple of minutes of fame and glory during the HS band spring concert. :eyes:... :rofl:

[Crystal Clarity]

10. Yup. That's the one

Except I seem to remember a long-a** drum solo somewhere in the middle of it... maybe it was only in the standard HS band arrangement? :shrug:

12. Probably not enough time in the TV intro

This is fun...

Hawaii Five O meets Miami Vice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGPaHsKJoRQ

But as it turned out, I had nothing to fear. Jan Hammer's synthesized instrumental music may scream the '80s, but the music perfectly matches the Hawaii Five-O visuals. Everything comes at just the right time in the music, from the wave, to Jack Lord turning around on the Waikiki balcony, to the rotating police siren careening through the streets of Honolulu. I was impressed.

14. Good moment in the film The Dish

Hawaii Five O theme song is played as the US National Anthem. The mayor apologizes to the American ambassador; the ambassador replies that he sometimes wishes it were our anthem.
