Google Saves a Freelancer’s Life

There’s no doubt that Google has become a great asset to freelancers, but one journalist owes his life to the search engine.

Iraqi kidnappers were convinced that John Martinkus was a CIA agent, and planned to behead him. At the last minute, he persuaded them to search for his name on Google, to prove he real job. Google came up trumps, and Martinkus was then released.

It seems that John truly found the ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ button that day.

No idea as to authenticity.

Why would a freelance designer be living in Iraq?

and since when did they have computers? never mind the internet.

They still beat each other with sticks for fun dont they?

Ahh - you'll get over it - probably.

I just started smoking again after stopping for more than 2 years but I am going through the hardest time of my already hard life. The cigs provide no relief apart from a very slight calming of the nerves and making me feel sick

Mr Fred · 22-11-2004, 06:00

oli · 22-11-2004, 06:07

Cracks always a possibilty, I think it might not help with the rage problem though.

not only would you be pushing old ladies over, you'd be nicking their bags from them on their way down.
