[Michelle Steinberg]

Funny - you get the same results when you  type in "miserable failure" and hit I feel Lucky

  Maggie - I found out from my friend who works for Google that it's a "knit" in their programming, because people have selected that site over and over when they originally put in the word "failure" in the keyword box.  Someone figured out how to subvert their own formula in the programming and had their computer choose that website over and over to make it the number one link for that keyword.  
  There's something similar if you put in "French Military Victories" and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.  (except this one is an actual prank by another webmaster)
  Try it.
