For those who haven't tried it yet, the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" on Google is a real hoot. I followed the link and found a whole group of books, all of which could be of interest... check out www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/about.htm

If you haven't seen it floating around the 'net, here are the WMD instructions:

Follow the directions carefully.

Try this soon, before Google fixes its site:

1) Go to www.Google.com;

2) type in (but don't hit return): "weapons of mass destruction";

3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, instead of the normal "Google
search" button;

4) READ what appears to be a normal error message
carefully

(I don't think its a mistake, I think it's paid advertising. Even better!)


Science is neither a philosophy nor a belief system. It is a combination of mental operations that has become increasingly the habit of educated peoples, a culture of illuminations hit upon by a fortunate turn of history that yielded the most effective way of learning about the real world ever conceived. E.O.Wilson

Very funny!
Note to anyone else who is looking for a laugh: Actually, you have to type "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (including capitals).
