Go to www.google.com
Type in "weapons of mass destruction"

Rather than hitting the 'search' button, hit the button that says "I feel lucky"

Have a read...and a laugh!

How was the beach? ( <-- the stay-at-homer's masochistic question)

Speaking of books...what I chose to read on the beach was _The Da Vinci Code_! WOW! What an awesome book...oh, it's fiction, but it incorporates lots of secret society stuff, The Knights Templar, etc....and weaves all these little secrets from great works of art including Da Vinci's Last Supper...things I will do more research on. Take a good look at The Last Supper. The person on Jesus' right is...a woman! More precisely, it's Mary Magdeline, his wife! Jesus was a man, with a wife, who eventually bore his child...oh, it's delicious stuff! Our modern version of Christianity results from a smear campaign by men who wanted to wipe out Jesus' teachings of divine womanhood...Mary Magdeline was not a prostitute , but actually descended from royalty, yet another smear campaign...

...hey, I'm just repeating things form the book, things we've all heard bits about in the past...very provacative stuff!

Years ago I saw a book in a store detailing the lives of Jesus' descendents in France, I didn't buy it at the time but always regretted it.

I'm fascinated by the version of history presented in this book, and hope to do some further research on the subjects. If anyone has any reading suggestions, lemme know!

Anyway Lunargirl, I had a relaxing vacation! Got just enough sun to not wear foundation for a week or two!

'Weapons of mass destruction' spoof draws huge traffic

A Birmingham man's satirical Web page clocked up more than a million visits last week

A Web site lampooning the United States' inability to locate weapons of mass destruction in Iraq has become one of the biggest hits on the Internet.

The site, which is designed to look like a genuine error message -- replete with "bomb'' icon -- was last week the top result when the phrase "weapons of mass destruction'' was entered into one of the Web's top search engines, Google.

And despite being five months old -- a veteran by Internet standards -- the site is more popular than ever and is attracting over a million hits a week.

Linking to the page from Google yields the message "These Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be displayed,'' and suggests that the country might be experiencing technical difficulties.

Because it looks like an authentic error message, many Internet users were under the impression Google had been hacked.

But despite its alarming appearance, the page is a harmless, regular Web Site, authored by one Anthony Cox, a 34-year-old pharmacist from Birmingham, England.

"It started off as a private joke for a few friends,'' Cox told Reuters on Friday. "Then it got passed on. People emailed it around and it ended up a few mailing lists. It went off and created its own life.''

Cox said he created the site in February before the Iraq war when the debate about alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction first arose. With the war over and such weapons as elusive as ever, Cox's site has enjoyed new-found popularity.

He said the site clocked more than a million visits this week, more than in the past three months combined.

Cox, who said he was not opposed to the US-led war on Iraq, included several links in his message. "Click the bomb button if you are Donald Rumsfeld,'' read one.

Doing so leads to a page on Internet book, music and video seller Amazon.co.uk offering a DVD version of the classic 1963 anti-war film "Doctor Strangelove.''

Cox has also concocted a similar gag about The New York Times, which was recently hit by a scandal over plagiarised news stories.
