This probably won't last long! Try this right away before someone catches on and disables it.

For a socially redeeming laugh, go to www.google.com

Type: weapons of mass destruction WITHOUT quotation marks

DO NOT press Search! Instead, click the "I'm feeling lucky" button and read the whole error message carefully.

It reads:
The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable. The country might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your weapons inspectors mandate.




Please try the following:

Click the Regime change button, or try again later.

If you are George Bush and typed the country's name in the address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly. (IRAQ).

To check your weapons inspector settings, click the UN menu, and then click Weapons Inspector Options. On the Security Council tab, click Consensus. The settings should match those provided by your government or NATO.
If the Security Council has enabled it, The United States of America can examine your country and automatically discover Weapons of Mass Destruction.
If you would like to use the CIA to try and discover them,
click Detect weapons
Some countries require 128 thousand troops to liberate them. Click the Panic menu and then click About US foreign policy to determine what regime they will install.
If you are an Old European Country trying to protect your interests, make sure your options are left wide open as long as possible. Click the Tools menu, and then click on League of Nations. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Head in the Sand section and check settings for your exports to Iraq.
Click the Bomb button if you are Donald Rumsfeld.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender comes up and says "Hey pal, what will it be?"

The horse orders a beer.

A few minutes later, John Kerry walks in and sits at the bar. The bartender walks up and says "Hey pal, cheer up. Why the long face?"

I'll stop if you guys will donate and get us over our fundraising goal

What's interesting is that if you follow the links, they go to Amazon.uk.com and a book selection. It looks like a novel way to advertise. If you follow the last link, it takes you to this guys homepage. He also has a similar error message for the NY Times:

The New York Times story cannot be displayed

The story you are looking for is currently unavailable. The paper might be experiencing technical difficulties, or more likely the story has been withdrawn due to inaccuracies.

Please try the following:

  • Click the refresh.gif (82 bytes) Invent story button, or try again later.
  • If you are Jayson Blair and typed the name of the story in the address bar, make sure it was your story.
  • To check your newspaper story, click the
FACTS menu, and then click Check Sources. On the Plagiarism tab, click No. These settings should match those provided by your Editor.
  • Even if the editor has not enabled it, the blogosphere can examine the story and automatically discover inaccurate and misleading aspects.
    If you would like to use the Blogosphere to try and discover them, click Detect Settings Andrew Sullivan
  • Some papers require 170 thousand antiquities to be sacked from museums. Click the Fisk menu and then click
Anti-American bias  to determine what level of museum looting your paper will broadcast.
  • If you are trying to reach a story worth reading, try going back in time when journalistic standards were not sacrificed on the off-chance of a story with a negative Anti-American spin.
  • Click the exit button button if you are Howell Raines.

Wow, the co-worker who sent me an email about this thought that this just started up today. Looks like it has been around since at least 07/03/03.

Google won't disable it. It has nothing to do with them. The web page designer is just clever enough to have designed his page with the correct key words and words in the body to beat out the competition. I have a web site on the web right now that will be the return on the "I Feel Lucky" button by typing in three legitimate search terms. (I say legitimate because people find my that site all the time using those terms).

This fellow is just having a laugh by being smarter than his competition in designing his page.
