This reminds me of the story I saw on the google “Islam is ” bug. Apparently if you type “Islam is ” in google you get no suggestions. Some guy got so upset about it that he made a video about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvOhqeElP0s

The guy in the video sounds a little weird but it does appear to be a bug.

Google is wrong. Nobody looks for an answer to a trivial question. First two suggestions are meaningless. Stupid!

Interesting. All the results for Japan are words for quality. But most of the results for China are related to quantity.
