Not what I meant

[luzula]

Today at work when I was typing up an document where I needed a graph, I googled "latex picture" in order to get instructions on how to use the picture environment in the LaTex typesetting language. And then I blink at the screen, wondering why there are suddenly half-naked people on it. *facepalms*

LOL!

I usually manage to catch those "don't google it" terms before it's too late :D

[luzula]

I just had no thought in the world that those words could mean something else. *g*

Funny thing, though, all the hits on the first page that weren't photos of people in latex were actually relevant hits. Google, how do you know so much about me? *suspicious*

ahahahaha. I did this once -- was trying to write up something with the union and intersection of sets, and couldn't remember one LaTex command but did remember the other, so googled "latex cup" -- uh. Yeah. Bad idea.

Though lately google seems to be filtering all those hits for me. Suspicious, as you say!

[luzula]

Yeah, the meaning of a word is so dependent on the context. : )

Why this is particularly hilarious to me is that I actually am involved with creating a dS fic right now where the kink is latex.

"LaTex, Ray? LaTex in bed? I had no idea you had such a passion for typesetting."

So, not only does that comment of yours make me LOL (and fine Fraser-voice there), but this is practically a brain-twin moment because the latex kink of the fic is a latex vacuum bed and here you are echoing bed.

That made me laugh so hard I scared the dog!

Glad to provide you with some amusement. : )
