On a lighter note

[sepdet]

Well, google has a sense of humor. I got a note in email to try this before it's caught and fixed.

1. Go to www.google.com
2. Type in "failure"
3. Click "I'm feeling lucky"

I doubt it'll be 'fixed'... it's been around for over a year now, it was originally for 'miserable failure' but it's been hotlinked so much it's become linked to the individual words 'miserable' and 'failure'. It's very rare that Google ever fixes a googlebomb... and given it's been around for a year, I think it's here to stay until they do some changes in PageRank that alters the way they search.

Ah, the joys of googlebombing... there's lots of hilarious examples :P Let's see if I can get a list... here we are, some googlebombs that still work!
