:rofl: :evilgrin:
Edited to add: I got "Flying Spaghetti Monster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"..
I guess things have changed since the old days when people got the same results, like googling "miserable failure"...

12. The results are influenced by your past Googling |

6. I don't find it humorous. |

The second result for me is www.darwins-theory-of-evolution.com which is a site that is trying to pass off ignorance as science. It may fool some people, young people especially. Not funny.

Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that neither of us is in the US; Google defaults to google.co.uk for me, and I'm guessing google.ca for you. Americans get google.com. And Google's search results are partly location-based.

Thanks - I needed that laugh

But young people don't always get it...)
