It's really a miracle Yahoo exists. The name, they business model, even the look of their site (and the navigation, and the mail) still reeks of the late 90s when everyone's still figuring out what this web thing is going to be.

Follow up question: Do they think wedging themselves in as the default search engine on half my browsers is somehow endearing? All it does is showcase how half-assed their search engine is, before I have to change it back YET AGAIN after a Firefox or Dolphin update.

"I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye."

The EC Segar comic strip was enormously popular— it was like the Adventure Time of its day. It doesn't really hold up to modern eyes, but I'm sure people in 70-80 years will be looking at Adventure Time and Samurai Jack and wondering who the heck would like such things.
