I have twice had Google services present me with information for things that were talked about in front of the speaker but never searched for, in one case by someone else without my phone present. Google denied it, even after I sicced the UK Information Commissioner on them, but it's the only possible explanation.

"Who do we have left in Engineering?"
"Only Ensign Smith sir!"
"Captain to Smith, reverse the polarity of the thingummy, now!"
