Go to the Google homepage.

Type in "find chuck norris" (without the quotation marks).

Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button.

    I think they are called Google bombs, and there are several of them. The first recorded one happened in 1999 when a search for "more evil than Satan himself" resulted in Microsoft's home page as the #1 result. (According to the Wikipedia entry for Google bomb.)

    It's very possible that Google has nothing to do with it. I believe the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button just takes you to the #1 search result. So, it would be possible to manipulate the results for given phrases.

    But I don't think anybody thinks Google doesn't have a sense of humor. Look at how they are willing to change their logo, for example.

    Anyway, I know the punchline to that particular search, but I will let others have fun with it.

    All the best,
    Michael
