    Google joke.

    Go to 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 what appears to be a normal ERROR message.

    Someone at Google apparently has a sense of humour

    That just takes you to the top link of a normal search.

    Nothing to do with Google at all. Someone at
    coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.ukcoxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk has the sense
    of humour.

    (Lots of people at Google have senses of humo(u)r too, I'm
    sure, but googlebombing doesn't rely on it. See also "more
    evil than Satan himself" "litigious [censored]" or
    "miserable failure" - though in the first two cases the
    top links are now to stories about the link rather than
    the original target.)

    "Unelectable", too.

    In a similar vein,
