Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Google + WMD = Yes, yes, I know
15Jul2003 Filed under: Geek OutDear friends and family,
Thank you so much for letting me know about how if you do a Google search for “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and hit “I feel lucky,” you will go to a funny 404 parody page. I saw the joke and thought it was funny.
That said, if I had a dollar for every email I’d received about the issue, I’d probably be able to buy some of my OWN weapons of mass destruction and bomb the server hosting the page. That would be really funny.
PS: Look, it even made the AP wire.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

Heh. I got it (for the first time), twice from unrelated people in the same day, the other day.
At least it’s not bad - it’s relatively funny. But with mixed messages.

I see I’m not the only one getting it over and over.
Have you also gotten THIS a few times too? Ugh.

Same thing, Dave.
