[SOLVED] I stumbled upon the strangest Internet mystery. Looking for the origin of the phrase "a rising tide lifts all boats," Apple's search suggestion was… "a scrambled egg makes all happy"???

This phrase can't be found anywhere on the web. It's not part of that Wikipedia page, or anywhere in its edit history. No one has probably ever said this (why would they*). And yet it will be suggested by Apple if you just start searching for "a rising".

• It makes me personally happy, sure—but still.
