I found out what a Google search would look like if Daniel were "driving" the browser: "Lego Star Wars/Batman".

I made a point of selecting the "images" option, and Daniel, Ian and Madeleine were all glued to the screen that resulted. However, Ian decided to go one better, by dropping the "Lego" bit and reducing the query to "Star Wars/Batman." The result were wacky combinations of Star Wars characters and Batman imagery, along with motley line-ups of Batman figures and Star Wars dolls side by side. Somehow, the children were endless amused with the result set, and practically cackled with delight - and humor - looking over cartoons such as C3PO swinging across the sky with a Batman emblem in the back-ground.

Afterwards, Ian made a point of thanking me for indulging this little Google session, and telling me how much he enjoyed it. But Daniel laid his rightful claim to credit for the guiding concept behind our Internet adventure:

"You can thank me and Daddy, because I was the one who thought it up.
