Known but just now Realized Creepy Revelation

Check out www.google.com/history. Here you can step back through your Google searches to enlighten or embarrass yourself. In past searches, I have needed to find homepathic flea remedies (for the dogs), various IT related searches on which my job depends, and it seems I cannot spell even the simplest of words - masculine. (No Jokes.) While I knew that Google was retaining search information, I never wanted thought I could be faced with it so easily. I envisioned long court battles and special prosecutors who would only receive blacked out versions of the most relevant bits of my online life. Now I am faced with the ability to retrospectively review my late night lookups whenever I want or don't.
