Google is funny

So someone told me to go to www.google.com and type find chuck norris and then click I'm feeling lucky. So you must do this.

Anyone know of any other interesting google jokes? I know the french military victories one already.

Miserable Failure is also a classic - although the joke has now become self-referential.

My favorite has always been typing in "French Military Victories" and then hitting I Feel Lucky.

It's actually not google that's funny, it is the collective users of Google and how they trick its algorithmic search engine. Many remember the George Bush 'miserable failure' google bomb. It was big ones like that which caused the company to try and add some diffusing code into the engine:

That's not true, and it seemed like it was worth trying to correct that misperception. So a few of us who work here got together and came up with an algorithm that minimizes the impact of many Googlebombs.
