Israeli Kugel

I came across an interesting news story today about a "kosher" search engine that was created for the Ultra-Orthodox Jews, specifically in Israel. And guess what it's called? No, not Jewgle or Joogle... but Koogle! Like Kosher Google! Except that I'd rather it stood for Kugel, a traditional Jewish dish because, let's face it, kugel (or "koogle") would be cooler and kugel is awesome.

Side note: The New York Times article that I read spoke about how Koogle was created for safer-browsing, to eliminate the temptation that the vast world of the internet has to offer (i.e. scantily clad women, inappropriate surfing - read: porn, and making purchases on the Sabbath - forbidden by Jewish law). I found it totally ironic that there was a racy (well, sorta) Canon ad along the right side of the article.
