Craig Conley Vs. Google

Man Vs. Search Engine.

Don't know how I missed that one before.

I read this as Pygmalion and Galatea.*

Except Galatea is being difficult.

To move on to giving birth to Paphos (boy) and Metharme (girl) Craig will obviously need to be exceedingly patient or find what charms Galatea. (What does one give the girl who has the top Alexa rank in the world?)

Since the name Galatea is just an 18th century improvisation (based on the Greek word for "milk-white"). I suggest we rename the difficult intended search engine for the 21st century.

Perhaps a conflation of the two? Gooletea?

No, that looks like a beverage.

Galagoogle?

That sounds like a Google party being held in some European country (with the inversion of word order).

Since some speculate that the Antikythera mechanism was actually installed in the original woman known as Galatea, and was responsible for her "intelligence" (if Aphrodite rendered her marble into soft flesh, we need an explanation for her intelligence? why exactly?) maybe a conflation of those two, a portmanteau in that direction?

Antikytheggle?

Googlethera?

Probably we should just ask Google herself.






*I don't mean to asperse Conley with heterosexuality, or any -ality, really.

I flipped a coin to determine Google's sex and she came up female.

Although admittedly if I had gone with Google as male, the metaphor (or meataphor) of giving birth to children might have encountered a stumbling block. (I suppose there are always dei ex machina or adoption.)
