I have one of those computers that show you pretty pictures from around the world on your lock screen. I think they’re called PCs. It shows you a pretty picture from around the world, it has a little half a fact about it, it tries to get you to click into a Bing search to figure out where it is. Lately, it’s been giving up on that last piece. Bing, your days are numbered. It was a good run, and we’ll remember fondly the days when we were your top NIT Bracketology even though Google had us third.
Recently, it showed us a picture of Lake Assal, in Djibouti. It wasn’t particularly pretty, but it was cool-looking, and the little half fact said something about it having a higher salinity than the Dead Sea.
Basically, Bing is calling the Dead Sea a fraud.
If you look more into things, you find that the Dead Sea is lower than Lake Assal, which feels more impressive to me than being saltier. You can make a lot of things saltier than the Dead Sea. You just keep adding salt, or you ask an Astros fan how they feel about Joe Kelly.
But, to Bing, the Dead Sea is overrated.
Bing’s words.
Not mine.
