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.

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

" These Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be displayed
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...
