Try Typing "failure" Into Google.com

[IHateSeph]

Type in the word 'FAILURE' into Google.com and hit enter. Look at the FIRST two results. Ironic isn't it?

[Tulac]

Man that's old :P

[Danny252]

I remember the last time someone posted it..

[Havell]

Happened about a week after he was "elected", for the first time that is.

[#BlakhOle#]

My dad sais people who control one of the most powerful countries in the world arent the kind of people one could call a failure.

EDIT: make that THE most powerful

[Blizzard08]

Well, BlakhhOle, I agree with your dad... I'd want to be a failure just like he is... But, oh, there is this little geographical issue: I'm Brazilian.

[#BlakhOle#]

Good stuff blizzard, but Blakhole has one h

[Blizzard08]

Bad, bad keyboard! It won't stop chheating me!

[Aristharus]

I don't know if this has been mentioned here, so I will:

Try typing "answer to life, the universe and everything". It opens the google calculator... and calculates the answer for you.

42? I don't get it :blink:

[Aristharus]

It's a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy by Douglas Adams... You not getting it means you haven't read it, so run to your local bookstore or library or whatever and pick it up! It's one of the best books ever.

Oh, you probably could go and see the movie, if you don't like books or something.. I haven't seen it, but I suppose its funny as hell, too.

[Javaguy]

it is 42.. I thought it was 49 :crazy:
maybe thats why everything is wrong...
anyway I didnt know the one about google and bush.. interesting :)
maybe a webdesigner put faliure in the meta tags as a joke..

[Tulac]

It shows the calculator 42 as the first result, but if I click I'm feeling lucky it redirects me too wikipedia entry about Hitchhiker's....

[Blizzard08]

Well, I don't see it... Why Google hates me?

EDIT: He hates me because I'm an idiot... I wanted to write "answer to life, the universe and everything", with the quotes... d'oh...

In case you havent noticed, there is a short notice on the right side of the screen titled "Why these results?". Click on it :D I dare ya! :D

[Reup]

Too much coincidence. I looked up this receipe and check out the ad at the bottom... Douglas Adams truly understands the fabric of reality:

[BeefontheBone]

That sounds like the worst cocktail ever devised. Yuck!

[Reup]

Man, you should know that the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is in fact, the BEST drink in the universe :bleh:

[Tulac]

Also try typing liar and see what happens...

[Iron_Scarecrow]

I typed in "purple tentacle day of the tentacle" into an image search once and the first result was a drawing by Fawful from his art threa, or it might have been from fan art section.

I thought that was cool.

[Tulac]

Cool it's still on the first place...

[Blizzard08]

Google is such a fun site... I remember, in 2004 or in the surroundings, that if you typed "déspota cachaceiro" (drunk despot) in google.com.br (Brazilian Google) they would answer with a PDF file of the biography of Brazilian president Lula.
Of couse, since our government doesn't have the slightest sense of humor, it has been deactivated... Google said it was a hacker but, yet, it was so funny...

[Tulac]

Yeah it's an phenomenon known as google bombing, it's explained here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bombing)...

Where? I can't find it.

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Go to the Windows Live website (http://www.live.com/). Click add content and search for 'abandonia'. Look at the first two results.

[_r.u.s.s.]

whats so strange bout it?

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Nothing. It's just cool.

[Iron_Scarecrow]

Yeah anything that mentions Abandonia that isn't directly related to Abandonia is cool.

Probably because most people are in the mindset that it's such a small, unknown site that it's amazing that it is known at all and is worth being mentioned, anywhere.

[Yobor]

Try typing in "huge balls" for yahoo. Maddox (The website guy) had a dispute with them over something, and likes rubbing it in their face that his webiste gets more hits a day than pepsi's.

Oh, and on the live thing Punch's place is number 2 for feeds.

only if you use google.com for the search. The international pages do not display that (google.de, google.hu...etc)
