The discrepancy might be due to the fact that some are doing it without quotes around "miserable failure" and some are doing it with quotes around it. I did it without the quotes.

I tried it again, this time with both words, "miserable failure" clicking on both Search and I'm Feelin' Lucky. Same thing. The search led to Mike Moore as #1, followed by the GWB bio. I wondering if all the TIPS people doing this right now are influencing what shows up? -Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Froman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Teaching in the Psychological Sciences" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 02, 2004 11:28 AM Subject: RE: not exactly psych related .... "I'm Feelin' Lucky" is just a shortcut to the first item on the search list for the term you entered. When I do the full search list for "miserable failure", a GWB biography site is #1, then Jimmy Carter, then Michael Moore, then Hilary Clinton and then a story about how google bombing works. It is really a contest to see who can get the most links from the words "miserable failure" to a particular website so the site you visit with the Lucky button will change from time to time as the numbers change. And when I clicked the Lucky button on Stephen's "mierable failure" misspelling, I got the John Kerry town meeting.
