Geri Brin thinks her son, Colby, is such a nice boy—she would know; they work together as Internet entrepreneurs—and just hasn’t found the right (Jewish) girl to settle down with yet. So, she has taken matters into her own hands and started a Website, “Date My Single Kid,” for parents to place personal ads for their children.

“One thing about my mom, she has perseverance,” Colby tells the New York Post. “I can picture her on her death bed . . . choking out the words, ‘Colby, did you call that girl?’ before fading into darkness.”

Ah, so that’s where Colby’s mind goes when he thinks about mom.
