When you call up the Thesaurus the bottom option is 'unable to get an erection'.

Mindshateringly funny, the comic mastery of this little joke leads one to believe that this comedian will one day write a book that will make Juvenille look like a gross amateur with nothing to say.

And the 666 thing has been on here before 1 in denary is not equivalent to 1 in ASCII (so it's bollocks).

Yes, google knows very, VERY, well what's up  

God bless them!

"the best company" = apple.com    
"go to hell" = microsoft.com    
so, what do you type in to get linux??? i put "real os" and it brought up a bunch of linux and mac sites (mostly linux). i don't think that it fits the theme though.

Microsoft tops Google hell search rankings

Weirdisms in Google's ranking system are sent to entertain us occasionally, and as we've had this one from a couple of people today, we suspect it's new. But don't blame us if it's not, we lead sheltered lives sometimes.

Currently, if you type "go to hell" into Google, then Microsoft Corporation, Where do you want to go today? comes first. This is particularly outstanding given that the number two slot is occupied by hell.com itself, which seems to be a very weird site we do not understand (told you we lead sheltered lives).

Honourable mention in third place for AOL Anywhere, which does indeed seem to us a possible definition of hell. Then they get kind of normal.

Wandering round the topic we tripped over The official Microflaccid page, which reports a couple of similar incidents. And then there's The Register, which covered a couple here and here.

the register reported it too.
