Go to google and type 'miserable failure' (no quotes) and press the I'm Feeling Lucky button..........

I don't agree with the assement but it was funny nonetheless.

Yeah its just a manipulation of the Google search engine. Here is link about it:

I as well don't necessarily agree with it but the fact that it was manipulated to point there is cool feat from a tech point of view.

From the article:

In previous pranks, tricksters have rigged Google to bring up spoof pages. For instance, after France refused to join the coalition forces fighting Iraq, a Google search for "French military victories" brought up a spoof page that said no documents were found and asked, "Did you mean 'french military defeats.'"

:lol:

French military one works again. Just hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button. :)


FWIW - Google is not responsible for doing this. It's people manipulating other web pages to make that link to GW #1 using that search.

They use a technique to rank page listings that uses the number of other sites that link to a particular page. The more sites that have the words "miserable failure" that link the the GW page, the higher the ranking.

Go to google and type in "wedge tornado" and my movie of a wedge tornado is #3 b/c there are a few weather related sites that are linking that image. I'm now determined to list higher than the SPC but that will take some work. Bastiges, who do they think they are? :D
