Yet Another Google Bomb
Oh well, I’ll join in the Google bombing. An ignorant asshole has written a column about The Netherlands.
This ignorant asshole works as a columnist for FoxNews, but apparently doesn’t really care to do some research before writing his nonsense.
Apart from The Netherlands being “the land of wooden shoes, windmills, Rembrandt and wonderful breakfasts”, he’s saying that “a Dutch hospital is (…) killing newborn babies who don’t measure up to an arbitrary standard”. Also, Holland has “no governing moral standard”, and “people smoke dope openly”. Finally, “all of this in a country where the Nazis murdered Ann Frank just because she was Jewish and therefore less than human.”
So, here is the link: ignorant asshole.

Dubya
For the 59,459,765 silly Americans that re-elected George W.:
Dubya
While walking down the street, Dubya was struck by a large wheel of cheese that fell out of SwissAir flight 19.
Sadly, George does not make it and his soul arrives in heaven and he is met by St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.
“Welcome George!”, says St. Peter, “we seldom see Republicans here, so we’re not sure what to do.”
“No problem Pete, let me in, I’m worthy”, says Dubya.
“I’d like to but I have orders from the Man Himself, he says you have to spend one day in hell then one day in heaven so you choose where you’ll live for eternity.”
“I’ve made up my mind, I want to be in heaven”, says Dubya.
Keyboard error
Do you ever forget to plug in your keyboard after you’ve been fumbling inside your computer? For example, you’ve just upgraded your pc’s memory, put everything back together, connect the cables, turn on the machine and find out you forgot the keyboard? Or simply because you connect the power cable first and the computer somehow immediately boots up, before you’ve had the chance to connect the other cables? Sounds familiar? Or am I the only one? 
Anyway, when your computer boots with no keyboard attached, you get an error like this:
Keyboard error: press <F1> to continue or <F2> to enter setup.
Please tell me how!
Weapons of Mass Destruction
Found this on the Dell website:
“Q4: Is the product used in connection with weapons of mass destruction, that is, in nuclear applications, rocket technology, or for chemical or biological weapons?”
OK, suppose I do intend to use my Dell pc, printer, handheld or LCD tv for this purpose… do they really expect me to tell them that?
Google tricks
A while ago, I posted an entry about google bombing.
Well, here is something weird, is it google spoofing? Does anybody know?
Try this:
Search google for sw 53 Switch ABCD. The first 49 (!) hits are all similar pages, containing a link to Digital Revolution.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
In the category “Remarkable News” today, this item found on the Dutch teletext:
Astronomers have found a diamond in the sky. It’s actually a star (a white dwarf) that died a couple billion years ago, in the constellation Centaurus, 50 light years from the Earth. The core of the star collapsed and the carbon crystallised due to the huge pressure.
The diamond is half the size of our moon, and weighs 10 billion trillion trillion carats!
A press release by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics can be found here.
Miserable failure
Try this: search google for “miserable failure”. If you click “I’m feeling lucky”, you are sent directly to the first search result, being (at the time of writing) this page!
Yes, that is the Biography of President George W. Bush at the official White House site.
Update: Well, apparently, this is called google bombing.
A new action has already been started, directed towards the Dutch prime minister.
Six parents?
A strange news item on nu.nl (in Dutch): “Redhead women threatened with extinction”. It says in the article (translated by yours truly): “To get red hair, 6 specific genes are necessary, of which each parent has to provide one.”
A simple calculation tells me you would need 6 parents to get red hair! I can imagine why they’re threatened with extinction, now…
(BTW, I found an English article here.)
