Google with a sense of humour? A snowman take over? AND the all-singing all-dancing MRM elves? It must be the Friday Links Blog

Admittedly, this week might not have been the easiest for our loyal links lovers. What with the snow disrupting many a journey, the bitterly cold weather disabling our extremities and flu wreaking havoc throughout the country, you could be forgiven for thinking that December would be a bleak month indeed. FEAR NOT, this week we have a veritable feast of amusing links for your entertainment. So sit back, relax and enjoy.

First up, let me introduce Google. “Google? How is a search engine amusing?” we hear you cry. Well, next time you’re searching, just give the drop-down options a quick read. Enlightening to say the least. It also turns out that Google doesn’t just translate, it can also beatbox. And, in case, like us, you’re a Google Maps aficionado, maybe take the time to double check your journey.

Secondly, we know snow might not be your most favourite topic at the moment, but hopefully these images of snowmen and snow feet (yes, snow feet) can make you smile and perhaps inspire you too. And continuing our Christmas theme, you’ve got to check out Nucleus’ take on the traditional advent calendar. Fingers crossed the heating breaking stays at just one!

And finally, prepare yourselves for quite possibly the best video ever. We give you the MRM elves. Happy Friday!
