OK, this may have been covered already, but just in case...

Go to Google, type "Failure" and hit I'm Feeling Lucky.

hmm... it even comes up as the first entry if you hit the regular 'google search' button. interestingly, michael moore's website is the second result.

Um, that's because all "I'm feeling lucky" does is take you directly to the #1 entry on the regular page.

Michael Moore is #2 because of all the right-wing bloggers who wanted to get their own back at all the "liberal" bloggers responsible for Bush being at the top.

Doesn't "I'm feeling lucky" always go to whatever the first entry is?
xp :-)

Oh, and try Feeling Lucky on "Liar" :-)

Google.co.uk links first to Failure magazine and second to a BBC story about bloggers making Bush the I'm feeling lucky result for Failure...

"Miserable Failure" does the job, though.

i know that 'i'm feeling lucky' is the first result (or sometimes whatever you enter plus .com), but i thought some google trickery was involved on the image search because i didn't do my homework before starting this thread. sorry.

It is good to confess sin.
