Going through my E-mails and I recieved these instructions.
1. Go to
www.google.com
2. Type "Weapons of mass destruction" (don't hit enter)
3. Hit the "I'm Feeling lucky" button, not the google search.
4. Read the "error message" carefully. Read all of it !!!
Someone at google really has a sense of humour, - and will probably be fired
soon.....
I would love to be a fly on the wall at that firing.

... yes you have second guessed me, I didn't recieve any email and yes I was looking for a weapon of mass destruction to satisfy a certian complaint I've been getting from some Bin Laden bloke.

[EDIT] - Check out the links and there is even a Cafe Press site att.

That has been up for a long time (last year), no one will be fired. The way Google works any one could have set up that page and then hit it a few million times and that would have put it at the top of the search results, ‘I’m feeling lucky’ just gives you the site matching search that has had the most hits. <br>
But donÂ’t worry bronze I think one day you will get to be a fly on the wall somewhere if the Hindu are right you definitely have a chance of going that way.

What he said...
If you hit enter (not too hard, you don't want to hurt it..)
the page will be at the top of the list of returned pages..

Yeah that was fun...
Now try Googling "
French Military Victories"
I'm Feeling Lucky will take you straight there & Enter will put it on top of the list.
But beware you will also get a whole stack of pop-ups so be careful what you click on...

They certainly conquered the odd South Pacific atoll - with WMDs, smelly cheeses and a tanker of Yoplait.
