GOOGLE...on purpose? a screw up? whats your thoughts?
OK, heres the deal..go to Google and type the word "failure" in the search box. Don't hit enter. Instead, click on the "I FEEL LUCKY" tab.
What do you guys think? Is this a mistake or is it done on purpose to poke fun.

On purpose. I believe bush and google had a run in on child pornagraphy didnt they?
Tell you what our society is a shame. Its too bad it takes a time like 9/11 to make our country pull together and be one. But then again that only lasts for a year then it back to the same selfishnesh.

Google's search results are generated by computer programs that rank web pages in large part by examining the number and relative popularity of the sites that link to them. By using a practice called googlebombing, however, determined pranksters can occasionally produce odd results. In this case, a number of webmasters use the phrases [failure] and [miserable failure] to describe and link to President Bush's website, thus pushing it to the top of searches for those phrases. We don't condone the practice of googlebombing, or any other action that seeks to affect the integrity of our search results, but we're also reluctant to alter our results by hand in order to prevent such items from showing up. Pranks like this may be distracting to some, but they don't affect the overall quality of our search service, whose objectivity, as always, remains the core of our mission.

I did give up my seat on my flight out to Vegas sunday so I got a $300 voucher so I know I'll be going somewhere in the future. Woo-hoo!

Hey, only one trip (this last Vegas) was paid for by work! The others were just free time off that didn't count against my vacation time...
I love my job in the **** industry...
