It probably takes a very particular set of skills to be considered good at this game.
If you’re the sort of person who’ll Google pretty much anything on your mind, no matter how bizarre and questionable it may be, then it’s you we’re describing above there.
After being founded as a search engine back in 1998, let’s face it, Google’s pretty much seen it all by now when it comes to strange internet searches and we’ve found a board game on Amazon that’s used all these odd things that humans search for to its advantage by turning it into a bit of fun.
The Weird Things Humans Search For board game takes “only two minutes to learn and 20 to play” and has been created by game makers Big Potato who “looked through the internet and collected a load of totally-genuine, totally-weird web searches [and] decided to make a party game out of it”.

According to the product description on Amazon, “for once you’ll be glad you didn’t delete your internet history”.
Crucially, this is also branded as an ‘adult board game’ and is suggested suitable for players at least over 14 years of age too, so you can only imagine what that means.

The game works like this – each round, you’ll hear the first half of an internet search, like ‘Did dinosaurs…’ and then it’s your job to try and figure out what came next. The higher your answers rank, the more points you’ll score for you and your team, so don’t be afraid to think a little weird.
In fact, thinking ‘weird’ is precisely the point.
To be good at this game, you’ll apparently “have to take on questions about all sorts of stuff” – from memes to dinosaurs, pet frogs to sumo wrestlers – an as you’ve already picked up, a lot of these searches can get pretty bizarre, so it doesn’t hurt to have a few weird friends or family members on your team alongside you.

It’s retailing on Amazon at £19.99 + FREE delivery and has hundreds of positive reviews from plenty of satisfied customers over the years, so if you’ve been wondering whether it’s worth the buy or not, then it might be worth having a read of a few of those to help make your mind up.
It’s also listed as an Amazon’s Choice product too, so it must be a pretty good laugh.
If you’re up for testing your knowledge on a topic that you probably didn’t even really think needed testing until now, then you can get the Weird Things Humans Search For board game from Amazon here.

Two ‘quick-thinking’ GMP officers praised for saving baby’s life after suffering epileptic seizure
Emily Sergeant
Two ‘quick-thinking’ police officers have been praised for saving baby’s life after they suffering epileptic seizure.
After PCs Harry Moore and Alexandra Higginson were called to reports of a concern for welfare at an address in the Gorton area of Manchester, they managed to save the life of an eight-month-old baby who had suffered a seizure.
“When we entered the street, the baby’s father was already running towards us with the baby in his arms,” explained PC Moore.
“The baby was unconscious at the time with a very irregular breathing pattern, so I immediately took the child from the father and started performing CPR. Whilst performing CPR, I had to give the recovery breaths into the baby’s nose because he had a locked jaw, which I now realise was because of the seizure.”
The ambulance came roughly five minutes after police arrived on the scene.

After paramedics arrived, they took the baby into the ambulance, where he then proceeded had another seizure, but not long after, he started crying loudly which meant he was back to breathing again.
“I told the father, who was just outside the ambulance at the time, and he was so relieved and gave me a hug,” PC Moore continued. “This is a moment I will never forget.”
PC Moore also praised his colleague PC Higginson, adding: “I can’t state enough how much of a team effort this job was. My colleague did an absolutely fantastic job of passing important information along as appropriate and we worked together as a team.
“Alex travelled to hospital in the ambulance with the mother and baby and I followed separately. Alex constantly relayed vital information and got the details of all parties involved, which was really helpful.
“We hope the baby and family they are all doing well and that the baby is happy and recovering.”
