Andrew - I can see your dad doing that! I have no prob with the bagpipe funnies - just wonder why we receive so much cartoon attention and other musical instruments not so much. M.

(I know, apple not far from tree...) But I think we pipers can also laugh at the craziness of the instrument, and perhaps thank Victoria, Walter Scott and Tartanism for the stereotypes. If you search "music" in the New Yorker cartoon database, we're not alone in being the subject of humour, which, like all comedy, to be truly funny has to offend a few people.

Thanks. I do note that using bing.com's image search there was NO prompts for bagpipe cartoons or clipart. Happy to say, though, I ain't losing sleep over any of this! M. Interesting, Vince. Thanks.

It may make your head explode, but it does provide some insight: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/02/ff_google_algorithm/all/1 I almost think it is the folks at Google itself that need a talking to...

Makes me think how people with ADD can cope with Google and at the same time makes me laugh thinking of that fly on the wall as it hears you say "wow, 18 million, who knew". I have to ask. How much time was lost in the distractions before you actually found what you were looking for.....or did you distract yourself all the way to writing this blog post and finding that lovely cartoon. :-). Did you find that Palak Paneer dish? I gotta know! Funniest blog distraction I’ve had in a while.
