Hi Rowland,
Have a look at this as it is really funny. Peter W
This is bloody hilarious – everybody you have to click on this website…
Try this soon, before Google fixes its site:
1) Go to Google.com. (http://www.google.com)
2) Type in (but don’t hit enter): “weapons of mass destruction”.
3) Hit the “I’m feeling lucky” button, instead of the normal Google search” button 4) READ CAREFULLY what appears to be a normal ERROR message
Make sure you read the whole error message. Someone at Google apparently has a sense of humour.
~~~ (In case it’s gone, here’s what it said: ~~~

“talentless hack” was one of the early google-bombs.
And try “out of touch executives” , which was a googlebomb (the name for these) made by someone who wanted to show how easy it is to fiddle the Google results.
