Google bombs have been around for a while now but this morning I stumbled on to another one. For those that don't know, google bombs are a way of manipulating search results on the Internet to get a certain site to pop up. Probably the most famous one I have heard of is to type into google the search phrase "miserable faliure." The top result returned is George W. Bush. I think somebody is trying to google bomb some sites ahead of Bush because the next three results are Jimmy Carte, Michael Moore, and Hillary Clinton which is really hilarious to me. Finally on to the new google bomb that has been found. If you type into google a search for waffles you will get the number one ranked item as John Kerry for president website. I don't know, I think some people have too much time on thier hands to be doing this kind of stuff on either Bush or Kerry even if they are both true.
Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place. Mark Twain

Heh...I really enjoy web-based "humorous" mischief like this! Too much time on their hands -- well, yes...but it's still pretty funny.
