I get thumbnail images when I do a Google Images search for the word certificate, which is what Koyaan has said he did. You have to search using Google *Images* — not just Google.

It might show up now, but it didn’t when I did just that the other night.

I know -- I challenge any person to find a .jpg that has no text description reference that way. There was no label on that birth certificate that said in big friendly letters "I am a birth certificate" -- also, it wasn't even a true birth certificate, so the search terms would be even more obscure.

I did while it was still up. Confining the search beyond the term "certificate" brought the image results down from 49 million to 3 million. Even with the website search the thumbnail did not come up. You are telling us koyaan was able to quickly scan 49 million thumbnail images and come up with an isolated document (not even on the waybackmachine, which shows the updates are 2007 and not 2006). This would be a needle in a haystack search.

Meanwhile, he immediately posts the Aus. COLB on an Astroturf website. You of course found it there (It was you?). The site you found it on according to Alexa has only 4 external links, unlike the 6000+ for FreeRepublic. Two of the main external links for this site are DU and KOS.

I am not buying it.
