Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Google ads are based on what is on the page. For example if lots of people mentioned hamburgers in a thread about junk food that they wish they could stop eating, lots of ads for McDonald's might show up.

"To snare a true Cougar a man needs to be youthful, fit, unintimidated and of course sexually driven! These men can range from athletes to intellectuals, and from technologists to entrepreneurs and all points in between; they can come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing they have in common is the desire to possess a sexually charged older woman."

Think the ads are based on whats in the thread. There was a thread earlier on sunglasses, and up came ads for sunglasses.

It's a cruel world. Kinda like there always seems to be a KFC or Baskin Robbins in the same shopping center as a Weight Watchers.
