Someone showed me that a couple months ago; it's hilarious.

Although my favorite is still the "French Military Victories" I'm feeling lucky Google search!

Ah, more than likely! Though really it was the only city in England (oddly enough, London didn't) that popped into my head at the time. I was probably thinking of you :-p

The best google one was...OH, what was it?! You typed in something along the lines of "failure" and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky" and ended up at the White House homepage.

Google has been "defusing" google bombs lately. "miserable failure" no longer works. D:
