HILARIOUS!! YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!! (weapons of mass destruction . . .)

Try this very soon, before someone forces Google to fix its site:

1) Go to Google

2) Type in: weapons of mass destruction (DON'T hit enter)

3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, NOT the "Google search"

4) Read the "error message" carefully. Someone at Google has a sense of
humor . . . and will probably be fired soon.

GOOGLE HERE

I hope they don't take it down anytime soon...it's been around for several months so far.
The weird thing is that if you click on the links on the page it takes you to amazon.com.uk shrug

Check the web address of the page you get to. It's not Google. They're just using the same font etc as Google to make it funny. And it is, I agree with that.

Yeah, but not the website you get to when you click "I'm Feeling Lucky". Nobody on Google is behind this, so nobody will get fired. It's an independent website that has nothing to do with Google.

first of all, (and maybe i should have mentioned this before) i got this in an email. i just copied and pasted it. that bit about someone being fired is what the original emailer said, not me. and second of all, (once again) you get to the website from GOOGLE. i don't have any idea what google's policy is, but whatever website you end up on is directed through GOOGLE. i never said that the page was google's doing. but whoever made it, people are getting directed there thru GOOGLE, whether that's how its supposed to be or not. get it?? confused

Still funny.


If I'm not mistaken, the "I'm feeling lucky" result is based on the most commonly visited site that matches the search term. Google has nothing to do with it intentionally.
Not that anyone was saying it did.

The "I'm feeling Lucky" search will take you directly to any website relating to your keyword. smile If you type in any word and hit "I'm feeling Lucky", it'll take you to a website, I guess of Google's choice or probably the most popular site.

You/the e-mail said that "someone at Google" had a "sense of humor" and might "be fired". I merely pointed out the fact that Google did not create the website in question, nor are they affiliated with it. It's directed through Google, sure, but what website isn't? Your text/the text you posted clearly suggests that it is in some way Google's doing. Which is incorrect. Get it? confused

why does there have to be one person on every thread that tries to bring people down? i really don't care how people get to that page. as i mentioned above, i didn't write that comment, i merely posted an email i received. and i could care less if google wrote it or not. get it? confused

lol if you hit the bomb button it takes you to the amazon page selling "dr. strangelove" dvd. and the detect weapons button takes you to "Pieces of Intelligence: The Existential Poetry of Donald H.Rumsfeld."


what's that all about?? lol
