1.) go to www.google.com
2.) type in "failure" without the quotes
3.) press the I'm feeling lucky button (instead of the google search
one)

Hehe, how accurate is THAT. :)

Hehehe. :p

Oh yeah :cool:

Old.

Old.

Yeah, but goggle will change it. So while it's been done before.. this one is new. :)

Old.

Ancient.

Hitting google search, and looking at the first couple results is also quite amusing ;) :D

No, it's been about for years. It's got nothing to do with Google, it's not them playing a funny little joke, or someone in Google doing it for a laugh, so they won't change it.

Same with the Blair one...type in "liar", hit I'm Feeling Lucky..and viola, Blair's ugly mug.

It's not goggle that does it.

It's not goggle that does it.You've mentioned this "goggle" twice now. What exactly is it? ( :D )

...that's what I just said.

I always feel vaugely guilty at laughing at this. But then I get over it and laugh, because laughter is good for the soul.

Yes, it's his official page.

no, that got me some metal band
Google.com and Google.co.uk both bring up Bliar.

...that's what I just said.

Heh, sorry, I just re-read your post, you're correct, sorry about that.

Anyway, it's new to some people who haven't seen it before. It's all in fun.. so who cares. :)

For those who don't know, thats called a google bomb. Google ranks sites according to how many other sites use a certain word to link to that page. So if you own a blog, and know alot of others who do, and you all link to nationstates.net using the word "peanutbutter", then after a few weeks, if that site is the most linked to using the term "peanutbutter", then when you search google for peanutbutter, nationstates.net will be ranked number one, and will show up when you click feeling lucky.

How true.

1.) go to www.google.com
2.) type in "failure" without the quotes

Dont worry they wont be changing it ... it has been that way for MONTHS now

this was popular around the time of the elections

I guess its amusing for the dopey and bitter.

I didn't find it as amusing as I did accurate.

I've got a bad feeling about this; but, -

surfs over to goggle <dot> com

Yep. Scumware site. I like how the "demo" trys to give the impression that it really has found 68 problems in my registry. Odd, lacking a registry like ...

Never mind. Long live search engine games!

I didn't find it as amusing as I did accurate.

I guess you'll find what you want to find.

1.) go to www.google.com
2.) type in "failure" without the quotes

I love it! :p

I wonder if this has been pointed out to Bush, and if he's seen it. I'd be embarrassed if a search like this came to a website about me.

try googling "french military victories"

(old one as well)

You can also try "french military victories" and hit "I'm feeling lucky." It'll give you back a very accurate statement. :)

It would only be embarrassing if it were true.

Ha! Okay, that one was funny as well.

Beat you to it

It would only be embarrassing if it were true.

It doesn't matter that it's true or not. The fact that you can reach this page, and this page only through one of the biggest search engines in the US (since its the only page that pops up) is embarrassing in itself (And yes, I know, google isn't the one actually doing the 'search', but it's linked to it).

Haha, poor Dubya. :D

What makes you think Google is going to change it? It's been around for years.

And it also works if you try "Miserable Failure" (without the quotes)

Old.
Old!

Yeah this is pretty old... the liar one doesnt work for me. Neither does i'm feeling lucky. I got a good kick when i heard about it... but it is kinda dead now.

This is old. Try French military victories as well.
