    Based on what I search for.

    Give it a try.

    Whereas I am uncofortable with Facebook parsing my status updates for relevant ad generation, knowing Google is off by 2 decades with my age, makes me a bit more comfortable with it :)

    Let me work my ninju-fu on you.

    I'm guessing here, but you are probably a white male, aged 54ish, lives on the west coast, perhaps the Seattle area. You have two young children...guessing here, a boy and a girl.

    I should go to work for Google.

    Or perhaps the CIA.

    Gives me, apart from the usual Google header, a blank page. I suppose I'm safe, then.

    It has me as being 10 years older. Gender is correct though, thank God.

    25-34 here, actually 21.

    I actually don't mind Google ads, it's nice to have ads geared towards things I might actually want rather than random crap. The only bad thing is that I keep getting bombarded by the ads for products I already bought, i.e. I did a lot of searching for a GoPro, saw ads for it, bought it, still see tons of ads for it.
