Cue the retweets as @oldmansearch enters queries such as "Night Blindness", "John Stewart Jew" and "National Geographic Dinosaur Truth". Some users have been actually answering his questions.

Sorry, but We Call BS on Old Man Search

We gotta call this one a hoax. Surely anybody would notice, after over 40 searches, that no results present themselves. This just rings false, especially the generic "racist old man" content. We just don't believe that this is real, funny though it is.

Old Man Search would be more believable if presented as the dad's web-search history.
