Let me guess there are many other threads on this topic already? SDMB is running very slow so I skipped the search.

Thanks **Wolfie** for saving my mistake with your interesting link 🙂

— I’m just going to be in this corner over here hanging my head in shame for making a newbie like error when I should know better. Do you think I can blame it on the shock of a spider falling on my head last night… —

In case there hasn’t been a thread about these, hit “I’m Feeling Lucky” for “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and “French Military Victories.”

Having just recieved the results of my search I can say with confidence there is another thread titled “Googles Subtle Political Rebellion”.

Thank-you **Catalyst** I had seen the WMD google but not the French Military Victories. 🙂

**DreadCthulhu** I am sure you already know this but you are evil - you are more evil than the rubber chicken on my computer that is trying to kill me.

I had a whole reply typed out to your post before I saw that little winky hidden down the bottom.
