MC Hammer - too legit to quit trying (Reuters)

MC Hammer is taking on Google with his own search engine.

The rapper, best known for the two-decade old hit 'U Can't Touch This' and his over-sized 'parachute' pants, unveiled the new site, called Wiredoo, at the Web 2.0 summit on Wednesday.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin was in the audience for the demonstration, which showed off Wiredoo's "deeper type of search".

"It's not a 'competitive' attempt to recreate search, but it's much like a lot of the things we see happening today," says Hammer.

"It's like the iPhone coming out again and somebody saying, 'What's new now to make it better? You can always make things better. There's always the next version, added features."

Wiredoo is still in development, so no, you can't touch it, no matter how much you pray.

Doesn't matter that I can't touch it, because I'm too legit to quit Google anyhow.
