Examples of people who may have too much time on their hands, but who create cool stuff nonetheless
Story from AP NEWS WIRE
ON THE WEB: THE SEARCH FOR W-M-D -- ONLINE
(Cyberspace-AP) -- You might say it's the only place inspectors or the U-S military haven't looked in their search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq -- the Internet. Well, now, that's been done, too -- sort of. When you type "weapons of mass destruction" into the Google search engine, and hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button -- you get a real-looking error message. The message says "These Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be displayed. The country might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your weapons inspectors mandate." The site was created by Anthony Cox back in February. He passed it along to friends, and they started linking to it -- which helped it get "noticed" by the Google search engine.
By the way the search for W-M-D's isn't the only serious topic that gets picked on on the Google site. For example, if you type in: "French military victories," followed by the "lucky" button -- a page set up to look like one from Google asks: "Did you mean: French military defeats."
