Google Joke?
« on: August 22, 2009, 12:00:04 pm »
I stumbled across this quite by accident today when I went searching for recursion (I am spelling that correctly? right? :D)
Am I going insane or is this another one of them that there google jokes?

This one's my personal favorite, though I suppose it's kinda insulting if you're French. Apologies in advance.

Two more reasons for me to love Google.  What other ones are there (other than "the answer to life, the universe, and everything")?

Search french miltary victories, then click the first link. ;D

It actually supplies a list of defeats in a sublink.

The search term "Miserable Failure" and "failure" used to link to George W Bush's profile.

http://searchengineland.com/google-kills-bushs-miserable-failure-search-other-google-bombs-10363

But not anymore.

There was also a similar one for Tony Blair.

It wasn't a google joke as much as it was a "google bomb", manipulating the way google search operates to ensure that a certain article would be the first result.

Also go click "Preferences" on the Google home page then browse the languages you can set it to.
