www.google.ca
Someone at "Google" has a lot of time. This is too funny.

1) Go to www.Google.ca
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 humor.

2. Same thing happens with google.com
OR google.co.uk, etc. The "I'm Feeling Lucky" button gives you the number one search result. Google's search algorithm is based, in part, in the number of pages that LINK to a page containing your search phrase (the more pages link, the higher it is in the list). This is how a so-called "Google bomb" works; that one is an excellent example. (And it's been the #1 search result for "weapons of mass destruction" for well over a year now).
