Do this Google search quick before it's fixed!
 
Try this soon, before someone forces Google to fix its site:

1) Go to 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.

Someone at Google is very clever and has a sense of humor; and will probably be fired soon.

nope...no one will get fired. That is the result of a google bombing, and is a site in the UK. If you click on the links you can buy t-shirts and stuff

I read it. Funny. Go ahead and post it. I don't think anyone is going to get fired. Reading something about the originators of google during all this IPO stuff, they probably did it and condone it. :D

It isn't actually a google-sponsored link. "I feel lucky" simply takes you to the first hit on the list, which happens to be a spoof of a google site. If you do the "search" link, it'll bring that one up first, see? Seems like "french military victories" brought up a good "I feel lucky" response for a while, too.

Well, don't be such a spoil-sport. Hell, all of us can't know and see everything. It was still funny. There's been a bit of humor around here today; it's refreshing. Don't kill it.

I laughed

The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable. The country might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your weapons inspectors mandate. "

Ah... I'm the victim of an e-mail hoax perpetuating a Googlebomb. At least I didn't tell everyone to forward the e-mail. Here's an article on the subject...
