    Got this in a email, its hilarious check it out...

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

    1) Go to www.Google.com <http://www.Google.com>

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

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

    4) Read the "error message" carefully. The WHOLE page. Someone at
    Google

    really has a sense of humour. And will probably be fired soon!!!!

    Look up "french military victories" for more laugh's :)

    it comes up as
    Did you mean: french military defeats




    No standard web pages containing all your search terms were found.

    Your search - french military victories - did not match any documents.

    Here's why :)

    Very funny.

    Try miserable failure and then the I m feeling lucky button ...



    As far as the French site is concerned, yeah english speaking people (mostly conservatives anti French losers) are promoting those jokes around the world via the Internet. The french sissy surrenders / surrender monkeys / smelly cheese eating thingie .



    As long as people realize it s a joke and not an actual fact of history, it doesn't matter :)

    But I was watching msnbc a year ago after France was thinking of opposing their veto, and journalist were actually relating false information about France's history ...

    It's got nothing to do with Google. The page that is displayed just happens to be the one at the top of the Google list when entering weapons of mass destruction in the search field which is the site that gets thrown up when you click the I'm Feeling Lucky button.

    Google have nothing to do with the returned results, it's groups of people manipulating the search engine technology. It's called google-bombing, do a google on it :)


    Odds are this is far more suitable to after hours rather than politics aswell, it's been around for years now.
