vagobbln Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Apologies if you've already done this. Go to google Type in "FAILURE" and do a search. Check out what shows up at the top of the list. How does that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Re: What\'s up with that? It's a simple programming trick that some bored Liberal dreamed up. The "I'm Feeling Lucky" is based on a counter that Google runs on searches. Someone created a program that used FAILURE as the search word then the program "clicked" on a link to the Presidential bio, then the program looped and did it again. After it repeated itself a few thousand times, the Google search engine decided that was the most likely results people wanted from that search word so it set that link as the "I'm Feeling Lucky" url. I think Satan used to take you to Microsoft's website, but Google went in and reset it. There were also a bunch of obscene words that would take you to some pretty funny places like the IRS website.
